Matting
and tangles are one of the most common issues for the people who use hair extensions.
There
are many reasons why hair extension tangle and matt at the root.
Improper brushing
techniques,
improper installation or even sleeping on wet hair can cause hair
loss. Some people
experience
this more than others. There are few things you can do to make sure
that tangling and matting are kept to a minimum.
1)
Supreme hair – Virgin quality hair is known to tangle less as the
hair is silky soft and hydrated.
The
dying process can damage the hair extension, making it more
susceptible to tangling.
2)
Luxurious Silk or satin pillow case- If you move around in your
sleep, try sleeping on a softer
pillow
case. This is also good for keeping the ends soft and healthy.
3)
Dry your hair- Wet hair can matte and tangle if you move a lot in
your sleep. Therefore, make
sure
your hair is dry and tied up in a loose braid or pony before going to
bed.
4)
Proper installation- Hair Extensions should be installed in a neat
pattern so that stray hairs are
not
left behind and are wrapped around your bonds easily.
5)
Brushing and grooming- Hair extension should be brushed twice a day,
preferably once in the
morning
at once at night. A wide tooth comb or loop brush keeps the hair
extension from wrapping
around
each other.
6)
Frequent touch ups- When you are getting your touch ups done, ask
your stylist to brush out
any
tangles, as well as give you an idea of what is going on back there.
7)
Wash the root section – When you wash your hair in a rubbing or
circular motion, it can
cause
tangling. If you have to wash in between your bonds, use a mild
shampoo and wash in a
gentle
manner.
If
you have some hair tangling, book an appointment with your stylist.
It is better to have your
stylist
look at it at an extra fee, rather than lose out on your hair
extensions over matting and
tangling.
