It’s no secret that Thembi is a weave girl, and we often wonder how she manages to look good all the time. Here are 5 tips to care for your hair after removing hair extensions.
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.
