Cleaning Remy Hair Extensions

Hair extensions do not receive natural oils from your scalp like natural hair. This requires some extra care when washing to ensure that one does not dry them out. As a rule of thumb, hair should be washed and conditioned every 3-4 days.

You Will Need:

• Soft bristle hairbrush
• Low pH/High moisturizing shampoo and conditioner
• Comb

The Cleaning Process:

1. Brush hair thoroughly prior to washing to remove any knots and/or tangles. Start at the bottom and gently work your way to the top being cautious not to pull on the hair.
2. Wet hair as normal.
3. Apply conditioner to the extensions prior to washing to help maintain moisture levels. Do not rinse.
4. Apply shampoo (on top of conditioned extensions) and wash gently.
5. Rinse thoroughly.
6. Apply moisturizing conditioner.
7. Rinse thoroughly.
8. Wrap hair in a towel and allow the towel to absorb moisture. Avoid rubbing the towel through hair to dry.
9. Comb carefully to work through any knots and tangles that may have formed while washing.
10. Allowing hair to air-dry is best. Never sleep in wet hair as this causes tangles.

Hologram Hair Serum

After a 'Hair relax' I love to put on some Hologram Hair Serum by Etude House on my hair. It is gentle on the hair, it protects my hair from damage and keeps it smooth and easy to manage.

A 120 ml bottle of Hologram Hair Serum costs $8.12, very affordable isn't it? ^^

Oriental Scalp Tonic

Do you want to prevent hair loss in a natural way? Or do you want to grow healthy hair? If your answer to these two questions is 'yes' then I recommend Oriental Scalp Tonic.

Oriental Scalp Tonic is for hair loss prevention and hair growth. It has a spicy smell, you spray it onto your scalp and then massage it in. The problem with this hair tonic is that it feels slightly sticky after application and it makes the hair look greasy. So I suggest you only use this before showering.

Make your own skin and hair care products etc

Would you like to try making soaps using melt & pour soap base? How about making candles with paraffin, soy, palm or bees wax? Or maybe you crave making your own natural toiletries?

As for me I enjoy making my own peaches and cream soap and herbal hair conditioner. Everything is made from natural sources and it provides me a sense of accomplishment.

Why don't you try it too? it's fun and it's a good hobby as well, start here!
