Posted by Andrew on June 20th, 2018

With Bohyme Brazilian wave extensions, if you haven’t had them before and had a professional instructing you how to do it, you might not know how to maintain the hair properly. Here are some tips that you need to know if you’re going to rock this awesome style this summer.

Take Care of Your Own Natural Hair

Some people are so concerned about maintaining their extensions that they sometimes neglect their own natural hair. Make sure that you’re treating your natural hair right so that the extensions will stay in properly and look fresh the whole time you have them in.

Wash Your Wave

The best way to care for hair extensions is to use the right products and wash it just as you would with your natural hair. Be careful what products you use, as you don’t want to create any nasty buildup or leave residue on the hair. Ask your stylist if you’re unsure what products are best.

Use Conditioner Lightly

Conditioner is a great thing to use on your hair as long as you’re not overdoing it. Many people opt for the cheapest conditioners they can find. When you have hair extensions, however, especially coarser hair like Brazilian waves, it’s important to invest in a high-quality conditioner, perhaps one specifically designed for the type of extensions you have.

Invest in a Good Comb

The last thing you want to be doing with your wave is be brushing through it with the first brush you pull out of your top bathroom drawer. Invest in a high quality and sturdy wide tooth comb. If you get snarls in your extensions, use a comb and a light conditioner to detangle it and gently tug on the tangles. You never want to use any harsh bristles on your extensions.

Use Heat Products Wisely

One of the benefits of using natural human hair extensions is that you can often use heat styling products on them. If you’re going to do this, make sure that you treat the hair with a heat protectant first. You may find however that your extensions don’t need much heat styling at all.

Ask about Hair Oil

Finally, ask your stylist about hair oil, which can maintain the silkiness of your Brazilian wave or other extensions and help the hair maintain its elasticity. With proper maintenance and care, your Bohyme Brazilian wave can look amazing all summer and beyond. The best person to ask is a stylist who has worked with clients to keep their Brazilian wave looking amazing.
