You must hear of blonde hair extensions, which are a great way to add volume, length, and dimension to your hairstyle. Platinum blonde, honey blonde, sandy blonde, whatever colour of hair you choose, hair extensions can transform your look instantly and give you the hair of your dreams. But just like your own hair, it is vital that the blonde extensions receive a proper amount of care in order for it to maintain its most recent look. At Bondi Hair Salon, we know that maintaining blonde hair extensions can be a bit tricky, but with the right care routine, your extensions can look gorgeous for months. This guide will walk you through the steps involved in taking care of your Blonde Hair Extensions so that they look shiny, healthy and gorgeous at all times.

For Blonde Hair Extensions, Use Gentle Washing

Less Is More (When It Comes To Washing Your Blonde Hair Extensions) over-cleansing can remove important moisture from the extensions, resulting in dryness and frizz. As a general rule, you should be washing your extensions just once or twice a week, although this will vary depending on how regularly you wear them. Always use sulfate-free, creamy moisturizing shampoo: this will help preserve the color and the hair itself. Sulfates, for example, can lead to stripping, and colorists agree this is particularly problematic with blonder hues, so look for a sulfate-free product, like Kevin Murphy's, that works for color-treated hair.

While washing, be sure to knead the shampoo into your scalp and hair. To prevent tangling or damage, do not wash the extensions with vigorous rubbing. Lukewarm water is also better than hot water, since high temperatures can make the extensions dry. Rinse it out well and follow with a moisturizing conditioner that locks in moisture.

Moisturzing for Softness and Luster

Blonde extensions, particularly those of lighter tone, are prone to drying out, as well as to environmental aggression (such as high temperatures and UV rays). The key to keeping your extensions soft, shiny, and manageable is to deep condition. After washing, use a nourishing conditioner designed for blondes or color-treated hair. Once that conditioner is in, leave it for a couple of minutes to penetrate fully into the strands, working to restore moisture and guarantee that the extensions remain silky and smooth.

To really pack a punch, a leave-in conditioner or a hair mask weekly will help your blonde extensions appear hydrated and vibrant. If your hair is chemically treated blonde, this step is essential as it will focus on keeping the overall health and softness of the extensions.

Be Mindful of Heat Styling

Blonde hair extensions (https://blondehair.net.au) can be colored and styled just the same as your own hair; however, heat styling should be done in moderation for both your natural hair and the extensions. If you use heat tools like flat irons, curling irons, or blow dryers, you should use a heat protectant spray before you use the tools to prevent heat damage and preserve the color. And it's important to use heat tools on the lowest temperature settings possible to prevent brittleness or breakage.

When using blonde curly or wavy hair extensions, you can use a heatless method, for example two braids overnight will give fantastic results, soft waves or curls, and if you want, you can also use temperature, but be cautious. This will keep the health of your extensions intact but allow you to achieve the style you're looking for.

Proper Storage and Care

If you have blonde hair extensions, take the time to put them away correctly, so they retain their shape and don't tangle while not in use. Lightly comb the extensions to eliminate any tangles, then hang them on a hook or keep them in a silk pouch. Do not keep them in places where they can tangle or be under direct light for a long time, since the color tends to fade over time.

Regular Maintenance

Although with good care, your blonde hair extensions will need some upkeep to keep them looking nice. Frequent cuts will reduce the look of split ends, which makes your extensions more vibrant. If you see your extensions lacking their natural vibrance or becoming too dull, consider a professional stylist who can perform a treatment specifically to restore them back to their former glimmer.
