Whether you wear extensions or wigs, it is a must to learn how to silk condition your extensions to keep them lasting long and looking great.
If you plan to spend the extra money on high quality human hair, such as Remy, Premium Remy or Virgin, it is imperative that you properly silk condition the hair on a regular basis to protect your investment. Once the hair is removed from the donor’s head, the hair no longer is provided with natural scalp oils that keep the hair soft and shiny. This makes the hair more prone to damage and breakage, especially is it has been colored and texturized. A silkening treatment does wonders for keeping the hair strong, silky and shiny.
Here is what you will need to deep condition your extensions:
* Silk Treatment (such as BioSilk Silk Treatment)
* Blow Dryer
* Plastic Bag (i.e. a product bag or a Ziploc bag)
* Wig Brush
Apply a generous amount of silk to the extensions paying special attention to the ends. Once you have added the silk to the hair, using the wig brush, brush the hair to ensure that each strand is coated with the silk. Place the extensions in your bag and use the blow dryer to heat the bag. Keep the blow dryer moving so you do not melt the plastic onto your extensions! Once you bag is thoroughly heated, allow the extensions to remain in the heated bag until it is completely cooled. Remove the extensions from the bag. There is NO NEED to wash out the silk treatment however if you feel that the hair is too “heavy”, you may shampoo the hair with a gentle or sulfate-free shampoo. Be sure to rinse the hair in LUKE WARM water only! Using hot water will remove ALL the silk from the hair.
Depending on how frequently heated appliances and/or styling products are used, how much the hair was processed and weather conditions, you may need to deep condition your hair more often than suggested however we recommend a good deep silk condition every month.
