Quality hair care products protect your hair when you swim.

At long last, it’s time to say goodbye to a frigid and punishing winter and hello to the warm and welcoming days of spring and summer. Regardless of where you live, it’s probably safe to assume you’ll be tempted to dive into a swimming pool at some point over the next several months. Here’s a bit of great news: you can safely swim with your remy hair extensions — if you take the proper precautions to protect them. Here are some dos and don’ts to keep in mind before you take the plunge.

Condition, Condition, Condition

You are probably used to applying conditioner to your hair after you’ve cleaned it. To protect your hair from chlorine, apply conditioner before you swim as well. The conditioner will create a protective barrier between hair and chlorine. When you are finished swimming, rinse out the conditioner right away with cool, fresh water. Then, you guessed it, condition again! This time, apply a high-quality hair care conditioner to keep the strands moist and healthy. For an added layer of protection and to prevent tangles, apply a heat cap followed by a protective hair serum.

Scrunch, Don’t Brush

Perhaps the worst thing you can do while swimming is to brush or comb your remy hair while it’s wet. Women, we are especially talking to you here! For whatever reason, men seem to be able to forget about their hair when they’re enjoying an afternoon at the pool and leave it alone, which is a good thing. Women, on the other hand, tend to hop out of the pool and feel the need to comb through their wet hair. When you are wearing extensions, this is an absolute don’t. Even the best hair products for remy hair are not able to reverse breakage or hair loss due to brushing through wet hair. Take a deep breath and embrace the natural look until you are finished with your swim.

Don’t Sleep on Wet Hair

Hair products for remy hair will keep your hair looking great.

If you are partaking in a late-night swim or dip in the hot tub, you may be tempted to fall into bed without drying your hair. Resist the temptation. Men, even if you have super-short remy hair, you aren’t exempt from this rule! At the very least, dry the hair at the base of your scalp. If you sleep on wet hair, the moisture could cause odors and even mold to develop.

Avoid Saltwater

While swimming in a pool is okay if you take precautions, it’s not a good idea to subject your remy hair to saltwater. Salt will strip moisture from your hair and cause tangles and breakage. If you must catch a wave, make sure to condition your extensions, then tuck them firmly under a tight-fitting swim cap. If you’re planning a pool outing, make sure your bag is packed with quality hair products for remy hair.

Knowing how to care for hair extensions is important when spending time outside.

All across the country, music festivals present the opportunity to get together with others who have the same taste in music and enjoy some amazing shows. Whether you are going to see just one band or you’re in it for the overall experience, creating the perfect hair style is paramount. Understanding how to care for hair extensions, especially if you’ll be outdoors, is essential to keep them looking their best for longer. With the use of a protective hair serum, you can achieve these stylish looks.

Flower Crowns

Sun protection for hair is necessary when attending music festivals.

Flower power may date back to the 60s, but it’s alive and well in today’s music scene. If you want to make the most of your hair extensions, consider adding a floral crown to your favorite hair style to dress it up for your time at the music festival. A floral ring can also increase sun protection for your hair as it covers some of your hair from the potentially harmful rays of the sun.

Flower Accessories

You don’t need a full flower crown to create a fun look for the music festival season. In fact, you can incorporate flowers into just about any hair style, whether your hair is long or short. You can purchase a number of hair accessories featuring beautiful blooms or head to the craft store and buy a few small silk flowers that match your favorite outfits. Cutting the stems short, you can easily weave these flowers into your hair extensions for a fun look.

Waves and Braids

Protective hair serum will keep your hair looking great.

Braids are big when it comes to music festivals. They’re easy to create and help keep your hair out of your face so you feel cooler out in the warm summer sun. To achieve this look, pull your hair back in a half-tail and braid it down the center. Use a styling iron to create a wavy look with the hair that remains down. This perfect combination of braids and waves is perfect for those who have longer hair and are using hair extensions to either lengthen or thicken their hair.

Playful Ponytails

Ponytails are another easy way to create a playful style for the music festival season. Pull your hair back into a high or low ponytail and add a few streaks of spray-in color to really stand out from the crowd. With a low ponytail, you can even add your favorite baseball cap to keep the sun out of your eyes and provide some additional sun protection for your hair.

Finding the perfect hair style for music festivals is fun and easy. There are so many options available, many of which are made even better with the addition of hair extensions. As long as you use a protective hair serum to prevent drying out in the sun and wind, you can have beautiful hair throughout the festival and express yourself in new ways.
