Feed your Hair – Highly Recommended for those who wear Hair Extensions!

When teaching the client’s to maintain their hair extensions, we talk about using special brushes to keep the naturally shedding hair from dreadlocking into the attachment point or how to keep the hair extensions moisturized and tangle free. We often recommend our Ionix hair care line since they were designed specifically for hair extensions and processed hair.

Keeping the client’s hair healthy should be more than recommending hair care products and mechanical maintenance. We should also recommend a healthy diet and supplements for promoting health and hair growth. There are still quite a few women that want hair extensions for thinning hair or chemically damaged hair. For those that get hair extensions as more of a fashion statement or to try a new look, a healthy scalp and new growth hair is still just as important.

Hair extensions can be a strain on both the scalp and existing hair. All the more reason to make sure new growth is strong and fuller. Hair care products are a temporary fix for appearance and only rarely do they address the scalp. There are several vitamin supplements for healthy hair, as well as natural remedies. Hair extension wearers should maintain a healthy diet and add supplements not only to address a present issue of thinning hair but also as prevention.

Some recommendations for vitamin supplements are vitamin B12, Bioten, Zinc and MSM.

Natural remedies: Green tea, horsetail and ginger

There are several more but these are the headliners.
