TANGLING MESS, HELP!!!

One question that I receive from my customer usually 2-3 weeks after receiving their hair is “how do they combat tangling”.

My one and only response to this question is followed with another question “ have you clarified your hair”?

Many people wear hair extensions but do not truly understand how to maintain and care for their hair. This is no fault of their own as up until a couple years ago; before virgin hair extension became popular we were all use to buying beauty supply store hair. It was the norm to buy hair and after a couple weeks it became a tangled, troublesome mess or even looked weighed down, limp and couldn't hold a curl. 3 weeks later we’re right back at the beauty supply store buying more hair. So, this question is truly reasonable but I’m here to inform and educate you on how you can manage this issue without having to buy more hair. WHAT!!!!!….. That's correct, there is no need to open up your wallet and fork out more money on more hair. , I’m here to show you it’s as easy as a trip to the drug store and 20 mins........ Yes that's it,  that's all you'll  need.  I’ll have you defeating that unsightly tangled birds nest.

So let me go in to detail a bit more about this issue. Stuff builds up on your hair such as oils, (yes agron oil too) hair sprays…. (which you shouldn’t be using) mousses, moisturizers  shampoo and conditioners, pretty much anything you apply to your hair causes bundle up over time. Also hard water and mineral deposits, air pollution etc etc …. You get where I’m going with this. Over time your hair pretty much harbor’s all or some of these things causes it to not act right. Using a clarifying shampoo with uplift all the junk and in return you’ll have your hair that you first fell in love with.

So let’s get to the good stuff. How do you do this magically process that will save you a ton of coin!!!

Its easy!!!

Clarifying shampoo is no different than regular shampoo. It’s the same idea just a different type of product. One adds moisture and conditions and the other removes those same elements.

I personally love Neutrogena Anti Residue shampoo this product is amazing and affordable. It comes in a clear bottle and the shampoo itself is clear. You will find that most clarifying shampoos will be clear in colour. So once you’ve chosen your weapon….. lol product or brand, this is what you’ll do.

This is key….more is less in this case. Start with a small amount in the palm of your hand. After applying the shampoo you’ll notice it wont be sudy the first time around due to buildup. Massage it in your hair but do not rub. (Rubbing your hair extensions is not a good thing). Work the product though your hair for about 1 minute. Rinse well.

Repeat step one but the only difference is you’ll leave the shampoo in your hair for about a minute or two.  Letting the shampoo marinate a bit will help with releasing the buildup. You’ll also see more suds. Should your hair have heavy build up you can do this process a third time. Make sure to rinse all shampoo. I like to allow the water to run on the hair for about a minute while I’m working my fingers through it.

Go ahead and condition your hair as normal for this step. You may want to use a deep conditioner as clarifying shampoo has no moisturizers in it. Also, you have to remember it just finish removing all the moisture that was in your hair.  I love One n’’ Only hair mask but you can use what you’re comfortable using.

So you may be wondering……. When and how often do you clarify your hair. I would say a general rule would be once a week. However if you are someone that swims often or you use a lot of products then  twice a week would be better.

Once your hair  is air dried you’ll notice how alive it looks. It will be shiner, bouncy and more manageable.

If you notice that your hair is still lifeless and dull, you may want to limit the amount of hair your hair receives and heat damage is something that kills your poor hair and is hard to fix.

Hope the info was helpful and remember, less is more. Try not to use to much product on your hair as this is truly the cause in most cases for build up!
