hair extensions & tight hairstyles are not a great match, so these are great to have on hand to keep your hair back when you’re at work, the gym, & on the go
Satin Hair Scrunchies - Kitsch
getting your extensions wet when you’re in the shower means restyling and maybe even re-blowing them out (which can be a pain during a busy morning) so a shower cap will serve you well!
Shower Cap - Kitsch
i know oribe is a higher price point but this is one of the only powder dry shampoos on the market that actually do their job! this will save you some time between wash days- the extension girlies’ most dreaded day
Oribe Dry Shampoo Powder
personally i love the perk up plus but lots of my extensions girlies have been very happy with the regular perk-up dry shampoo, a much more affordable option available in all different sizes
amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo
brushes
we all know i love her, she’s perfect, she’s gentle, & she’s kind
UNbrush
another gentle detangler! the even bristles prevent the snagging that damages your extensions!
Tangle Teezer
can’t say this one is my favorite but it’s still a good option!
Boar Brush
night time💤🌙
these will protect your style and the integrity of the extensions while you sleep!
also we can’t forget who put us onto how important it is to sleep in a bonnet so if you’re shopping for one online, it might as well be from a black owned business!!...
Satin Bonnets
i like to recommend using a satin pillowcase in addition to a bonnet simply because i have adhd & misplace things often so this way im not waking up with messed up hair 😅
Satin Pillowcase - Kitsch
products
look for “sulfate and paraben free”, “nourishing”, and “hydrating” and lets AVOID words like “bond building”, “repairing”, and “bonding” because our extensions don’t need all that
my favorite hair oil! it’s important to oil your extensions because those ends aren’t receiving the oils from your scalp like your regular hair does
( and bonus points because it also comes in a travel size)
Elixir Ultime Beautifying Oil Hair Care
if you want to go that extra mile, put this in before you put your bonnet on when you go to bed
