Your Ultimate Guide to Lavish Locks Extensions 📓
So, you finally took the plunge and got the extensions you’ve been obsessing over!
So you finally took the plunge and got the extensions you’ve been obsessing over! What’s next? Extension care is a little different than taking care of your natural hair - here’s the ultimate guide on how to keep both thrivingggg!
We’re ready to drop alllll of the details you need, so save or screenshot these tips, and remember, extensions are an investment, treat them and yourself like royalty!
Products - At Lavish Locks we recommend using Oribe, think of it like insurance to keep your extensions feeling fresh! Oil your extensions daily, and don’t forget all products should be sulfate and paraben-free.
Washing - Use your Lavish Locks extension brush to detangle your hair thoroughly before washing! If you’ve got more than one row, try washing in sections to feel squeaky clean! Gently wash your scalp in between and around your extensions and finish with a conditioner through the mids and ends. We love the Hair Alchemy Mask from Oribe for weekly masking.
Drying - Towel dry and detangle first! Apply your favorite Oribe leave-in and thoroughly dry at your scalp! Once your extensions are 80% dry go in with a brush and smooth your extensions and natural hair together. Even if you loveee your volume, avoid flipping your hair upside down to dry!
Styling - Your Lavish Locks Extensions are 100% human hair, so whether your vibe is sleek and straight or big bombshell waves, as long as you’re using a heat protectant you’re good to go!
Sleep - Always sleep with your hair in a low ponytail, or loose braids, or grab your bonnet! Make sure you’re drying your hair before hitting those Lavish Locks Silk Pillowcases! Falling asleep with wet extensions can diminish the lifespan of your investment and give “Woke Up Like This” vibes- but not in a Beyonce way
Sun - Mineral-based sunscreens are your best friend if you’re participating in hot girl summer, others will cause discoloration. Maintain that fresh-from-the-salon look by protecting your extensions and your skin.
Swim - Let’s talk about the summer pre-swim ritual to keep your extensions at mermaid status pool or oceanside: Pre-wet your hair with bottled or tap water and your favorite Oribe leave-in before hopping in and thoroughly rinse right after! Your extensions won’t just survive the summer- they'll thrive!
Your future self will thank you for taking care of your Lavish Locks Extensions when your extensions are still giving “fresh install” months later…
Until next time…
Xoxo, your favorite Lavish Babe 🩷
