Scalp

Between the weaves or braids, your scalp needs time to recover. Hair extensions stress the scalp and the extra weight causes tension. Giving your hair and scalp a break from extensions will help promote healthier hair.

Trim the ends

Even though your hair has been under hair extensions, you might still need to trim the ends. Split ends are damaged hair, and if not removed, they will ruin your hair.

Detangle

Before combing your hair, always use a wide tooth comb or your fingers to loosen it. You will shed hair and that is normal. Be gentle as this hair hasn’t been combed for weeks.

Style

It’s always advised to leave your hair for a minimum of 3 days before reinstalling new hair extensions. This will allow your natural hair to have a break and recover from the stress.

Products

Your hair needs a recovery treatment that will help strengthen the hair and nourish the scalp.
