How to Brush Your Hair Extensions


Brushing your hair multiple times a day, everyday, can be the best thing you can do for your extensions or the worst- depending on your technique and the tools used, therefore it is essential that brushing and styling hair is done correctly.


Hair Extensions need to be brushed every morning

Once you wake up in the morning, it is very important that you brush your hair before starting your day. This may seem like a very obvious comment to make, however it this not uncommon for those without naturally long hair to simply run their fingers through their hair to tame their tresses, especially if they are a fan of a messier style.

Using your hair extensions hair brush, is important as not only does it tame the mid length to the ends, it also helps to keep the roots and bonds detangled, an important part of your daily care. You should always be using a hair extensions brush as this will stop the bristles from becoming stuck or disturbing the bonds in any way.



Hair Extensions need to be brushed before you wash them

It is very important that you always brush before washing your hair extensions. Again, this may seem obvious to those of us with naturally long hair, however if you have had your hair extensions fitted into short hair, you may used to hopping straight in and never considering doing this. By brushing your hair extensions before showering you are preventing your hair from becoming tangled as you wash it, making it much easier to brush when your hair is wet.


How do i brush my hair extensions when they are wet?

When your hair is wet, it is at its weakest, therefore it is very important to be patient and gentle when brushing your wet hair extensions. Using your hair extensions hair brush, slowly work your way from the tips of the hair up to the roots, slowly detangling as you go. If you try to brush from roots to tips you will be pulling the tangles into your hair, tightening them and making them more difficult to remove, therefore brushing tip to root will prevent this, and makes brushing your hair a much gentler process. Our hair extensions brush is perfect for the job, as the bristles have been designed to be ultra flexible, making brushing wet hair extensions much easier.


Hair Extensions need to be brushed before bed

At the end of the day, it is very important to give your hair one final brush through before getting into bed. This ensures that there are no tangles from the day lingering in your hair that you will have to remove in the morning, and will make the process much quicker and easier.


Keep your Hair Extensions Brush handy at all times

Now that you have long, thick hair, you may find that you feel you need to brush your hair more regularly either because you enjoy it, or you feel you need to. By keeping your hair extensions brush handy at all times, this will allow you to care your hair extensions on the go, especially if you are unlucky enough to be caught in a big gust of wind or the rain.
