How to Take Care of Hair Extensions

Video Transcript

"Hi today we're talking about hair extensions, and giving you a great opportunity to learn some new tips. My name is Sylvia Russell. Now if you want to take care of your hair extensions, this is the best way. You've got to know what kind of hair you're using. Is it synthetic or is it real one hundred percent natural hair. If it's synthetic the only thing you can do is shampoo and rinse. No heating elements applied to synthetics, because it will melt. Now if you're using natural one hundred percent hair, you can hot curl it, roller set it. You can wash it and condition it, and you can do everything that you would do to your normal hair. Let's take a look at our model. She has long blond hair, and what we did is we added some hair extensions to the back. As you can see, I used a different color just so that you can see the contrast. What we wanted to do was give her some deep, deep, low lights. And as you can see they blend very well. She kind of has a peek-a-boo effect. Now if she's going to wash these hair extensions she'll want to take them out, go to the shampoo area or the sink in your home. Use a mild soapy water, as well as a light conditioner. Let it air dry, don't use any heat, brush it out, and you're well on your way to reusing your hair extensions. My name is Sylvia Russell, and this is how you can care for your hair extensions."
