Keeping Your Hair Extensions Looking Hot On Holiday
If you are thinking of jetting off to warmer climes this summer, then the chances are you’ve already started planning what bikini and matching flip flops you want to take with you. So, you’ve dusted off your suitcase, got all your clothes packed, dug out your passport and stepped up your diet and exercise regime in order to achieve that perfect beach body; what else do you need? Your beauty regime doesn’t have to stop at de-fuzzing your legs and exfoliating, why not turn your attention to your hair in order to complete the ultimate beach babe look.
Summer hair is all about laid back styling. Hair should look undone and natural in order to look truly beachy and gorgeous. Soft waves, curls and plaits are the key to getting your summer hair style nailed but what if your hair is too short or too fine to create this kind of style? Well, why not follow in the steps of many celebrities and cheat with hair extensions! Hair extensions can lengthen and thicken most styles to give you the summer hair that you’ve always wanted.
Summer hair looks best when it is long and thick as you can do more with it in terms of styling or you can just leave it to dry naturally in the sun and enjoy a gorgeous relaxed beach babe look. Hair extensions are the perfect beauty accessory for the summer and can really take your look from everyday to beach in a matter of hours.
If you have decided to have hair extensions fitted before your summer holiday, then it is advisable to make your appointment at least a month before you go away. This will give you enough time to get used to the extensions and used to styling them. Your new hair extensions will probably give you a lot more hair than you are used to so it can be hard to get to grips with all that extra hair, especially if you are used to a short style! Therefore, take a couple of weeks to experiment with styling, washing and brushing your extensions in a way that you like before going away.
Use your new head of long flowing locks as an opportunity to really experiment with your style. If before your extensions you always wore your hair straight, try it curly or wavy to see what sort of look you can achieve. Also don’t forget the accessories! Make sure you pack some pretty clips, flowers and a couple of silk head scarves to make your pool side style look gorgeous.
When it comes to looking after your hair extensions on holiday, the most important things is to keep them moisturised. All the extra heat from the sun, the chemicals from the pool and the salt water can really take its toll on your locks and leave them looking dry and frazzled. The chemicals and salt can also cause the bonds to break down and even make your extensions fall out. In order to avoid any mishaps make sure you rinse your hair thoroughly after taking a dip in the pool or in the sea to get rid of all the nasties and wash it thoroughly with a clarifying shampoo designed to prolong the life of your extensions.
If all that time spent out in the sun has left your hair resembling straw then you need to step up your moisturising regime. Invest in a good quality leave-in conditioner and apply it only to the ends, avoiding the bond area. This will lock in moisture and keep the ends looking beautiful. Always make sure you use a good quality conditioner to keep split and dry ends at bay. You can also use a head scarf or a hat to help shield your hair from the harsh heat of the sun if it gets too much.
