How to make a hair extensions shiny is a question we Dirty Looks girls are constantly asked. And, although you might think that it takes a lot of effort to maintain the lustre of your clip in hair extensions, the truth is, it’s really not that hard to achieve.
The secret to how to make hair extensions shiny is all down to how you look after your extensions. There’s no denying that hair extensions are high-maintenance but taking care of your extra locks and treating them with a little bit of TLC will make sure that your locks maintain their brilliant, sparkly condition and keep them looking extremely healthy and shiny.
How to make hair extensions shiny lies in the hands of the products we choose to use on our extensions. Unlike our own tresses, our hair extensions are bound to get greasy and lose their radiance a lot quicker, as they can’t produce their own natural oils which helps them to stay healthy. Instead, we have to rely on a few hair care products which are designed to moisturise and hydrate hair, and to encourage them to stay looking their brilliant best and keep them looking shiny. Products to avoid are serums and creams as these will only make your hair extensions look oily and sticky. We much prefer to use lightweight products and sprays which are going to make hair extensions shiny as opposed to dull and greasy. And, if you must wash your hair extensions, make sure to use shampoos and conditioners which are hair extension-friendly, sulphate-free and are packed with plenty of nourishing nutrients and moisture our hair extensions need to maintain their healthy glow.
Along with choosing your hair care products carefully, another tip of ours it to make sure that you don’t sleep in your extensions, as this will cause them to matt and tangle, and to always use a heat protector spray on your tresses before styling.This will prevent your hair extensions from drying out and from losing their luxurious lustre. It’s also important to remember that, however much we’d like our hair extensions to stay in brand new condition and glisten for eternity, it’s inevitable that we will eventually have to say goodbye to our clip-ins. When that day arrives, you can always count on the Dirty Looks girls to be there for you with a new set of hair extensions :)
