Virgin hair extensions are beautiful and luxurious, which is why they have become a fashion statement and a status symbol in and of themselves. However, all though they are certainly worth it, hair extensions are expensive and should be treated as an investment. They can be worn for up to a year or more and still look good with the proper care and conditioning. Just like your natural hair, your extensions need to be taken care of if you want them to last and look good. Let's face it, the whole point of buying expensive hair extensions is to look good and can last a long time because you're fabulous and you need to look fabulous at all times!

     There are 3 phases involved in caring for your virgin hair extensions. The first phase is pre-install, the period of time before you have your extensions installed. During pre-install, the first thing that you need to do is seal your wefts on both sides. This is the single most important step in preserving the longevity of your extensions. Sealing your wefts will keep your extensions from shedding. There is nothing worse than wearing a shedding weave, it's embarrassing. So, seal those wefts! After your weft sealant has thoroughly dried, co-wash your extensions with a cleansing conditioner. DO NOT USE SHAMPOO! Sorry for yelling, but this can't be stressed enough. Shampooing your virgin hair extensions can leave them dry and dull. Lastly, show a little virgin hair love with deep conditioning... your extensions will thank you.

     The second phase of caring for your virgin hair extensions is the actual installation. There are only two things that you need to know here. 1. Don't cut your extensions. If you cut the wefts on your virgin hair extensions they will shed even if you applied weft sealer. If you leave your wefts intact after your wefts are sealed you will see very little shedding. So, instead of cutting your wefts, flip them. 2. Avoid using bonding or glue if at all possible. Yes, you can have virgin hair extensions bonne or quick weaved if you choose. However, the process used to remove the glue from the hair tracts also weakens the tract, and you're back to shedding.

     The last phase of caring for your virgin hair extensions is the fun part, rocking that fabulous hair! There are some things that you need to know. Since your extensions are not attached to your scalp they don't benefit from the natural oils that your scalp produces. In order to stay soft and shiny, your extensions need to be moisturized. Don't use hair grease. Hair grease doesn't dry and will cause your extensions to matte and beard. I recommend using argan oil to moisturize your extensions and to prevent damage when using styling irons. I know it's a pain but yes, you still need to tie your hair up at night, (beauty is pain.) hair in a silk bonnet, and always use a high-quality wig brush. If you follow these few simple steps you'll protect your investment and enjoy your virgin hair extensions for months to come.
