The process of silicone micro rings hair extensions uses individual silicone lined beads to secure the strands of hair extensions to small sections of your natural hair. This also protects your natural hair from any damage and slippage of the extension.

However, one must, take precautionary measures to maintain, protect and take care of your silicone micro rings hair extensions. Here are some of the best ways one can follow to take care of silicone micro rings hair extensions.

After getting silicone micro rings hair extensions fitted, it is recommended you do not wash them for at least forty-eight hours. This makes the extensions sit and fall naturally on your head and blend with your natural hair. While washing try not to apply any shampoo or conditioner near the bonds and do not forget to brush your hair and detangle the hair strands properly before washing.

Dry your hair smoothly and gently with a towel, as rubbing your hair vigorously would only cause it to tangle and get messy. If at all you need to blow dry your hair, try to keep the temperature settings just optimal. Too much of heat would make the bond melt causing damage to your natural hair. At the same time, one has to make sure that the area where the hair extensions are attached does not remain damp or wet as that will make the bond become more vulnerable and prone to breakage.

When using heat appliances after washing your hair such as a blow dryer, straighteners or curling tongs, try not to wash your hair more than twice a week. It is always better to apply minimum stress on your hair and the extension hair. That implies drying, straightening or curling your hair must be less frequent which is beneficial for your hair strength and durability. In addition, putting straighteners over the metal ring too often could cause it to slip down your hair resulting in your hair strands falling out.

Try to use shampoos, conditioners and aftercare hair care products that have been recommended for hair extensions only. Certain high street brands contain silicone based ingredients which can cause bonds to weaken and dry out the hair causing it to become very dry and rough. One can go for a recommended conditioner, as it is good for the hair extensions and provide them with the much needed nutrients and vitamins. One can also use a protector spray to prevent heat damage to your own hair and which can cause breakage with or without the hair extensions. One must consult a hair specialist or a technician and ask them for recommended brands of products to be used.

One must also use only a soft bristle brush or a tangle teaser which causes minimum damage to your extensions. Brush your extensions at least once a day but no more than three times a day or else it will cause unnecessary shedding and pulling of the bonds. While sleeping, it is advisable to either leave your hair tied loose in a ponytail or plaited to prevent tangling and knotting. Whenever you go for any sport like swimming, gym or an outdoor activity, keep your hair tied back tightly in a braid or a high ponytail. This would protect your hair extensions and keep them looking healthy for a long time.

If you treat your hair extensions carefully and follow the guidelines mentioned above, your hair extensions would stay healthy and look natural for a long duration without damaging your natural hair.
