- Protecting hair extensions from ultraviolet radiation
Take care to protect your hair from ultraviolet radiation, which can weaken the attachment of the extensions and dry out the hair. The easiest way to protect yourself is to wear panamas and light hats. They will create a barrier that will protect the head from heat exposure and prevent UV light from penetrating the structure of the curls. In addition, it’s recommended to use SPF sprays to help minimise the negative effects of UV rays.
Also, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun (especially from 11:00 to 16:00) - another tip on how to protect your hair extensions while on holiday.

Can you swim with hair extensions: what experts say?
It is difficult to imagine a holiday without swimming in the sea, lake, river or pool. Of course, such bodies of water (even artificial ones) contain salt and chlorine - the main enemies of hair extensions. To minimise the harm of swimming, you need to:
-
put your hair in a braid or bun and wear a special hat to reduce contact with water; - use special masks - they can form a protective film;
- after bathing, rinse the hair extensions with fresh water, especially in the area where the bonds are attached;
- use balms and nourishing masks - they prevent brittle and dry curls, as well as help maintain their elasticity and resilience.
If you follow these tips, water will not harm your hair extensions. You will get maximum positive emotions from your holiday.
What you need to know about washing and drying hair extensions?
When you are on holiday, you will wash and dry your hair. This must be done correctly. It’s worth considering the strength of the water, if the jet is too strong, the strands can be damaged.
- It is also recommended to use warm (never hot) water to wash your hair. During the procedure, do not make circular movements - wash the strands by moving your hands up and down.
- A hairdryer is best for drying. Use a cold or warm air stream (hot is not recommended). To dry your hair, hold the device 7-10 cm from your head.
