Hair extensions and wigs have exploded in popularity, offering girls a quick and versatile way to transform their look. They provide an easy solution for bad hair days, special occasions or experimenting with new styles without committing to drastic changes but summers are here and taking care of these hair extensions and wigs has become more important. Summer is about sunshine, beach days and breezy fashion but for your hair extensions and wigs it can be a challenging season.

Heat, humidity, sweat and UV rays can wear down the lifespan and appearance of your hairpieces. With proper care, though, you can keep them looking fabulous and fresh all summer long. Mani Tyagi, Co-founder & Hair Extension Expert Gemeria Hair listed recommended simple tips that can help you protect your hair extensions and wigs from the summer heat.

Tips To Protect Hair Extensions And Wigs From Heat

Wash With Care

No matter, if it's synthetic or real, wigs and extensions, must be gently washed with Sulfate-free shampoo and warm water to remove dirt, product build-up and sweat. Don't wash too much wash in fifteen days it is best for wigs and clip-ins.

Air Dry Always

Avoid the use of heat-styling tools during the peak summer season. While washing, gently blot out some water with a towel and let your hairpiece air-dry. Heat causes bonds to break down and frizz, especially in warm weather.

Be Sun-Smart

Just like your skin, your hair extensions and wigs need sun protection too. Use a UV protectant spray or wear a scarf or hat if you’ll be out in strong sunlight. This helps prevent dryness and colour fading.

Tame The Frizz

Humidity is a major frizz trigger. Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner or anti-frizz serum to keep your extensions smooth and manageable without weighing them down.

Store Smartly

When not in use, keep your wigs and clip-ins in a cool, dry place preferably in a silk/satin bag or on a wig block to maintain shape and texture.

By sticking to a few good habits, you can enjoy all of the summer fun and still have your hair on point. Wigs and extensions are an investment — take good care of them, and they will keep you sharp all summer long.
