Women's urge to look pretty is undeniable, especially regarding hair. Well-styled hair makes women feel good and elevated.

When we feel pretty, we look confident. A woman’s confidence is likely to be affected a lot by how her hair looks. On the contrary, a bad hair day affects their overall look, making them less confident. That is why we understand the value of flawless-looking hair.

Today, we see many women struggling with their hair; some face hair loss, so they refrain from heat styling their hair. Some just want to add a little bit of style to their look. Some are struggling with serious problems like alopecia, and some simply don’t have enough time to deal with them every day. All of them want a simple, long-lasting solution that doesn’t break the bank and also works for them. We are here to offer you a simple solution: use human hair extensions.

What are Human Hair Extensions?

Human hair extensions are defined as real human hair obtained from donors. These bundles are taken from different parts of the world, like Malaysia, Brazil, India, etc., from which Indian hair bundles are most famous. This is why human hair extensions are also known as Indian hair bundles. Whatever the source country, one thing is for sure: they are chemically unprocessed.

Chemically unprocessed hair means that it has never undergone any kind of hair procedure. India's human hair extensions are famous for their great quality and texture. These human hair weave are kinky and have light curls.

These human hair extensions are taken from one of their religious offerings, ensuring they are chemically unprocessed. This is why they are also known as virgin hair. These hair bundles get stocked out quickly and are in great demand. Some refer to these bundles as black gold. Now that you know their value, let’s talk about how to make them last longer.

Storing Your Hair Extensions

The quality human hair bundles offer come at a price. But it will be worth it. Consider them a one-time investment for all of your hair problems. If you take care of them properly, these human hair bundles are likely to last longer (months, even years). Human hair bundles can cope with normal wear and tear. However, you can extend their lifespan by doing some simple things.

Keep it Clean: Use a Mild Shampoo!

The type of shampoo you use greatly affects the quality of your hair. Likewise, to clean human hair bundles, you need to use a mild shampoo. When looking for shampoo, make sure that it doesn’t have sulfate in it. Sulfate is great for cleaning but can dry out your hair, which is one of the reasons for hair loss.

As human hair bundles are also made up of natural hair, you have to take care of them as you do for your natural hair. Which is quite easy, too, right? Just use the same products and routine, and you are ensuring an extended lifespan of human hair weaves.

Hydrating Hair is Key!

One reason that causes human hair bundles to dry out is the lack of moisture. So, make sure to apply conditioner after shampooing. Remember to shampoo the roots and apply conditioner to the hair (leave the roots). Conditioner provides moisture to the hair. There are two types of conditioner. One has to be removed by washing hair, and the other one doesn’t need after-wash (leave-in conditioner). Both work well for human hair bundles. Just remember to wash these extensions in straight motions.

Drying Hair Extension Tips

To pat dry hair, use a microfiber towel. Microfiber towels lessen the chances of causing friction to the hair. After pat drying them, leave these human hair bundles on a flat surface to air dry them. Air drying is a good option, as you will not be giving these bundles unnecessary heat. You can use a hair dryer as well, but to make them last longer, it isn’t usually recommended.

Always Use a Wide Comb

Once the hair has been dried, use a wider toothcomb to brush the human hair weave. It will help prevent the breakage of human hair bundle strands. Gently brush them by holding them in place. Gentle combing will help detangle the hair and thus make it last longer.

Tips for Removing Hair Extensions

It is recommended to remove your human hair weaves while sleeping. This is because they can get detangled and damaged while sleeping. This is why, to extend their lifespan, they develop a routine of removing them every night. It sounds exhausting, but it isn’t. Nowadays, human hair weaves come with closures that don’t require clips and glue to secure them to your hair. You can easily de-attach and re-attach them. If you are using glue, a soft solvent will help you detach the extension in no time.

Use a silk cap:

We know that some days are super-exhausting, at the end of which all you want to do is sleep. For those days, keep a silk cap handy. Tie your human hair bundle in a bun and wear the silk cap over it, and you are ready for a good night's sleep. Silk is a soft material that prevents friction and tangling of hair while sleeping.

Heat-protection spray:

While styling your hair, keep a hair-protection spray next to you. Apply it before you heat-styling your human hair bundle. Preventing heat will help them last longer. You can try different styling without a worry.

Proper storage:

To store these human hair weaves, use a silk-lined pouch. Silk will help them not get tangled and prevent hair breakage. Also, avoid using heavy oils for your extension. While storing them, tie them in a loose braid.
