Planning a Summer of Sun, Sea, and Style?

Planning a summer of sun, sea and style?

If you're thinking of getting hair extensions for a special event and hoping they'll last you through holidays and beyond, here's what you need to know.

How Long Do Hair Extensions Last?

With proper application and care, high-quality 100% natural human hair extensions can last up to 3-4 months. The key? Choosing a professional extensionist who uses trusted products - and following the right aftercare routine.

Holiday Hair Extension Care Tips

Water, heat, and UV rays can weaken your bonds and dry out the hair if you're not careful.

Here's how to enjoy your holiday without sacrificing your style:

• Tie it up: Before swimming, always tie your hair in a loose plait or ponytail to prevent it matting.

• Use UV protection: Invest in Philip Kingsley's Swimcap - it offers SPF for your strands and protect from chlorine and salt water.

• Moisture is your best friend: Before and after sun exposure, apply a leave-in treatment like Elasticizer to nourish and prevent breakage.

• Rinse it right: For pre-bonded extensions, the Gold Class pH Balancer is a game-changer - it helps protect the bonds from chemical damage after swimming.

• Brush daily: Only brush when dry using a soft-bristle brush, starting at the ends and working up to avoid tension.

Plan Ahead

If your holiday is coming up, book your hair extension fitting at least 2 weeks prior - this gives your hair time to settle and allows for any tweaks.
