Taking care of your hair extensions on holiday

Protect your hair extensions by following these guidelines:

Use a high-SPF sun product like Kerastase’s Soleil Aqua Seal, a light and easy-to-apply leave-in spray. Because putting oil or serum directly on the micro ring or tape extension may cause it to loosen, focus the sun protector on the hair length. A hat or scarf is always your hair’s best friend when it comes to protecting it from the sun. See pre bonded hair extensions on our website.

Hair extensions in the pool:

Swim with tape and micro ring extensions, but remember to wrap your hair back into a ponytail or plait before jumping in to avoid tangling and pulling. Swimming with clip-in hair extensions, on the other hand, is not recommended.

Pool chlorine and chemicals damage and discolor hair, particularly blonde hair, which can take on a greenish tinge. So, whether you have human hair extensions or not, wash your hair as soon as you get out of the pool with a chlorine-removing shampoo like Kerastase’s Soleil Shampoo.

I recommend using a shampoo for oily hair with tape hair extensions – contact your Beauty and Melody extension specialist for a tailored prescription for your hair and extensions, or visit our London salon for a complimentary hair extension consultation and expert advice.

Hair extensions after the sun

To soothe sun-stressed tresses, wash hair in the evening to eliminate the build-up of hair product from the day and give it a deep moisturising treat like AVEDA Sun Care After-Sun Hair Treatment Masque. Pay special attention to the length of your hair.

Hair extensions styled for the holidays:

Long, thick hair extensions complement the ponytail well. Keep it sleek and tie it low on the back of your neck for the perfect sexy ponytail. When you’re lying by the pool or sipping a cocktail, a thick side-plait says A-lister glamour.

With silky curls and loose waves, human hair extensions look amazing in the evening. European hair requires more upkeep and benefits from blow drying and styling to maintain its lustrous appearance. Russian hair extensions, on the other hand, can be left to air dry for a more disheveled, fashion-forward look (because of its luxury, silkiness, and softness).
