3. Style as desired, but if heat is a part of your routine, please be cautious of the temperature when using thermal tools. Setting the heat too high on a styling tool is one of the fastest ways to damage your summer tresses.
If you wear hair extensions or braids, it is still very important to maintain and care for your natural hair underneath. Here are a couple of tips for maintaining your braids or extensions:
4. Be sure to brush the hair often and remove any tangles. When shampooing and conditioning your hair, always try to wash in between your braids or extensions and follow this step with a leave-in conditioner. Make sure all shampoo and conditioner is rinsed out properly to prevent build up.
5. Thoroughly dry your braids and hair underneath your extensions using a hair dryer when possible. If the hair is not dried thoroughly, it will foster the growth of mildew (creating an unpleasant odor), as well as water damage and extreme breakage to your natural hair.
Happy styling!
