Essential Extensions-Hair Extensions

How much TIME can I go in between extension maintenance? 💇‍♀️

Extensions are SUCH a game-changer, but regular maintenance is the secret to keeping them looking and feeling great (and keeping your natural hair healthy too!)

So, what is the right amount of time for maintenance?

Here’s my go-to recommendations 👇

✨ About 4-8weeks for a move-up or adjustment

✨ OR if they’re feeling a little off, slipping, tangling, poking out, or not sitting right…it’s probably time!

Everyone’s hair is a little different and each client has their own preferences, so maintenance will be different for everyone.

BUT what’s always true is staying on top of maintenance makes all the difference in having healthy hair and great looking extensions ⏰

As we edge closer to winter, the cold air outside, dry heat inside, hot showers to warm up may be causing your hair to dry out.

If your ends are starting to feel a little rough, here’s what actually helps:
🤍 Deep condition once or twice a week.
🤍 Turn down the water temp a little or at least try to rinse with warm water vs hot-hot
🤍 Add a leave-in conditioner when damp
🤍 Always use heat protection before heat styling
Remember that your hair needs extra love in the winter, just like your skin does 🫶

Summer hair damage? You NEED to read this ⬇️

The sun, the heat, the pool… it all adds up.

And yep, your hair needs protection just like your skin does!

So, here’s what I’ve been doing for my own hair and what I recommend to my clients:

👉 UV protectant spray before going outside
👉 Leave-in conditioner after washing to keep it soft
👉 A little oil on the ends to seal in moisture
👉 Silk scrunchies or clips instead of tight ponytails
👉 A quick deep conditioning mask once a week

Nothing fancy, just a few small habits that actually help!

This is WHAT nobody is telling you about getting hair extensions 👇
The volume. Like, real volume.
If your hair always feels flat or meh no matter what you do…extensions can change that fast.
No extra product, no hours of styling.
It’s one of the biggest confidence boosters I see in my clients.
They look in the mirror and go, “THIS is what I’ve been missing”.
And the best part? It looks and feels SO natural 🤩

Hair oil hack!🪄

1️⃣ Apply a few drops of your preferred hair oil on dry hair, focusing mainly on mids and ends

2️⃣ Let it sit for at least 30 minutes or even longer if I can

3️⃣ Wash and condition like normal

It’s SO simple, and your hair will feel so much better after!😍

Spring cleaning, but make it haircare! 👇
You know that feeling when you finally clean out your closet and realize you’ve been holding onto things you don’t even use?!
Yeah…your hair routine NEEDS that too 🙊
If you haven’t checked in on your products or tools in a while, here’s your reminder:
🌸 Toss out old, expired products (because yes, they do go bad)
🌸 Clean your brushes (seriously, when’s the last time you did?)
🌸 Wipe down your hot tools with alcohol wipes (because that product buildup isn’t doing your hair any favors)
🌸 Swap out your shampoo & conditioner for what your hair actually needs this season

The longest and shiniest! 😍

Like fine wine 🍷

Everything went well but I am definitely feeling the second one 😂
