Summer is the season of vacations, days at the beach and afternoons by the pool. But between the sun, sea salt, sand and chlorine, your hair extensions can be put to the test.
The good news? With a few simple steps, it is entirely possible to maintain soft, shiny and natural extensions all summer long.
Discover our tips for protecting your hair extensions during the holidays.
☀️ Why can summer weaken extensions?
Like your natural hair, extensions are exposed to external aggression:
- UV rays
- sea water
- chlorine in swimming pools
- the sand
- the wind
- friction
Result: hair can become drier, lose its shine or become tangled more easily.
This is why a suitable routine is essential during the summer period.
🌊 Before swimming: the gesture not to forget
Before entering the water, we recommend that you:
✔ Gently brush your extensions
✔ Create a soft braid or low ponytail
✔ Lightly dampen your hair with clean water
This last gesture helps limit the absorption of salt or chlorine by the hair fiber.
🏖️ At the beach: be careful of salt and sand
Sea water can dry out the lengths while sand encourages knots.
To preserve your extensions:
- tie your hair up when the wind is strong
- avoid letting sand accumulate in the lengths
- gently detangle your hair after swimming
A protective hairstyle like a braid or ponytail is ideal for enjoying the beach with complete peace of mind.
🏊 At the swimming pool: some useful precautions
Chlorine can make hair drier and dull.
After each swim:
✔ Rinse your hair immediately with clean water
✔ Use a mild shampoo if necessary
✔ Apply a moisturizer to the lengths
These simple actions help preserve the softness and flexibility of the extensions.
