2. LEAVE IN FOR THE WIN
How to take care of hair extension after swim? Be sure to use a Professional leave in conditioner on those extensions when swimming or after being in the ocean. Avoid those extensions turning green from chlorine. Recommended product we love is Malibu C. Lastly. ALWAYS rinse with fresh water after swimming in a pool or ocean water to rid that sand/chlorine that can cause color fading.
3. WHEN IN DOUBT, BRAID IT OUT.
Keep hair extension tied into a loose braid or loose pony when swimming to avoid matting and tangles.

While you're in the chair, you can let the stylist know your summer plans and be sure to ask..."

"Bump up your braid game!"
"Its no secret that a loose braid is a great style to sleep in, but incorporating this style is also a great way to lessen your heat usage for the summer. Plus, especially after a deep conditioning treatment, braided styles are perfect for giving your hair time to absorb moisture."

"Keep waves as pretty as the ocean by using a maximum of 300 degrees when styling. "
"It should go without saying that hair extensions are fragile but, because they're a product used to enhance one's natural hair, this is often overlooked. This hair is not attached to your scalp, thus not getting the same nutrients and doesn't have the ability to heal after damaged. Proceed with caution when using heat! It may take a little longer to style when you're only using 200-300 degrees to straighten, wave, or curl the hair, but it will last which makes it worth your time!"
