Summer in Holbrook, NY, is full of sunshine, beach days, and fun outdoor activities, but it can be tough on your hair—especially if you’re rocking blonde extensions. As we transition from summer to fall, it’s essential to adjust your hair care routine to maintain healthy, beautiful locks. At Brushd Boutique Salon, we specialize in creating stunning blonde looks and want to share our top tips for keeping your extensions in tip-top shape.
Embrace Heatless Styles
We all love a good blowout or curling session, but daily heat styling can wreak havoc on your hair extensions. Instead, try incorporating more heatless styles into your routine. Not only do they protect your hair from heat damage, but they also help maintain the integrity of your extensions, making them last longer.
- Heatless Curls: To achieve effortless, beachy waves without the damage, try using heatless curlers or braiding your hair before bed. This method works especially well with our 22-inch blonde extensions. It’s simple, effective, and adds that gorgeous texture you crave.
- Mr. Smith Sea Salt Spray and Curl Cream: For those days when you want to enhance your natural waves or add texture, reach for Mr. Smith’s Sea Salt Spray and Curl Cream. These products are ideal for wavy hair in humid conditions and provide that extra volume without stickiness.
Hydration is Key
Blonde hair, especially extensions, requires extra TLC to stay vibrant and healthy. Hydration should be at the core of your hair care routine.
- Mr Smith Leave-In: After washing your hair, apply a lightweight, non-greasy leave-in conditioner. This step is crucial for repairing and protecting your extensions, keeping them soft and manageable. The leave-in conditioner is versatile—you can use it on damp or dry hair to keep your extensions looking fresh.
- Mr Smith Serum for Shine: After applying leave-in conditioner, seal in moisture with a quality hair serum. This step is especially important if you’ve been using heatless curls to maintain your 22-inch extensions. A good serum will help you avoid those annoying flakes and keep your hair smooth and shiny.
Blonde Maintenance: A Routine to Stick To
Consistency is key when it comes to maintaining blonde extensions. Here’s a routine to follow:
- First Six Months: For the first six months, especially with new 22-inch blonde extensions, avoid using hot tools daily. This will help your extensions stay in great condition for longer.
- After Six Months: At the six-month mark, you can start using hot tools more frequently but be sure to protect your hair with a heat protectant spray. By this time, your extensions will have naturally shortened to around 18 inches, which is a perfect length for adding more styling options.
- Brush and Hydrate: Regular brushing and hydration make a huge difference. When your extensions are well-hydrated, you won’t see those dreaded chips in the sink after brushing. Use a moisturizing leave-in conditioner and serum combo to keep your hair healthy and vibrant.
