😎 Summer-Proof Your Extensions
The temps are rising, vacay plans are set and you’re ready to go, but are your beautiful new extensions?
While summer can mean carefree days, don’t risk compromising the investments you’ve made in your luxurious locks! At Lavish Locks Hair Extension Bar, we have seen firsthand how the elements of summer can transform your dreamy extensions into a nightmare!
Our favorite things about summer, the sunshine, swimming and spontaneous adventures, are not your extensions best friend… UNLESS you’re well prepared! UV rays can dull color, chlorine and salt water can be drying and summer humidity can make styling unpredictable - here’s our guide on how to avoid extension and hair damage this summer!
While we love our golden tans, the sun rays can be simultaneously breaking down the integrity of your extensions! Every dip in the pool can turn into dry brittle extensions that have a shorter lifespan - but prevention is everythingggg. Before the beach season starts, schedule a maintenance appointment to have your expert check everything out and make recommendations for you to stock up on your summer product arsenal!
Here are some essentials:
1. A UV formulated leave in, like Invisible Defense from Oribe!
2. A continuous spray mist water bottle to drench your locks before and after summer activities- the water will act as a filler to prevent your extensions from soaking up any unwanted elements.
3. Silk hair ties that won’t catch or pull on extensions or natural hair.
4. A wide tooth comb to gently detangle when wet!
5. A mineral based sunscreen formulated without the ingredient avobenzone!
Before and after swimming, rinse with fresh, tap or bottled water! Apply your stylist recommended leave in focusing on mid-length and ends and secure in a loose braid for best results!
Remember, extra-ordinary hair requires extraordinary care sometimes. Your extensions can withstand everything summer throws their way, with the right protection!
Book your pre-summer consultation today and have one of our experts create your personalized summer protection plan!
Until next time…
Xoxo, your favorite Lavish Babe 🩷
