Virgin hair extensions are considered a worthy beauty investment. The price for bundles can range from 200 to way over 500 dollars for enough bundles for a full head sew in or wig. Bundles can last for over year if properly maintained. Virgin hair bundles can be high maintenance and pricey. More and more women are resorting to buying synthetic/human hair extensions or wigs that mimic virgin hair but without the costly price tag and maintenance. Here is a list of tips that could save your bundles and synthetic wigs.
Human hair extensions- When human hair extensions become dry, tangle, and shed easily after extended wear I have done both of the following to rejuvenate my extensions and make them almost as good as new. Conditioner bath- Comb and detangle the hair. Wash your extensions and rinse the hair thoroughly. Mix a sink with hot water and a good moisturizing conditioner. Swish the extensions around in the hot water and let sit in the water for 10 or 15 minutes. Place water and extensions in a ziplock bag. Add a few drops of argan oil and place in the microwave for20-40 seconds. Rinse and let air dry. This process acts a s a deep conditioner and can bring extensions damaged from heat and excessive product use back to life. For a more intense treatment an ammonia and bleach wash is guaranteed to make your bundles bouncy, shiny, and soft again. Pour two ounces of Chlorox bleach into a gallon of hot water. Soak hair and gently comb hair from top to bottom using a wide tooth comb. Do not do this for longer than 2 or 3 minutes. Gently rinse the hair with a good clarifying shampoo with the weft facing you. Do the same with the ammonia. Use 2 ounces of ammonia to a gallon of hot water. Rinse thoroughly and if you would like use the clarifying shampoo again if you feel like there are traces of ammonia still in the hair. Let air dry. This should leave your hair just like new! There are also several youtube videos to show you how to do this as well To make your synthetic wigs last longer wash in lukewarm water with a good shampoo. Apply a good conditioner and apply a dab of coconut or argan oil to leave your wig soft and manageable. Comb with a wide tooth comb to remove tangles. If you have curly wigs follow the same process but, do not comb the hair and add a mixture of water, curl definer cream, olive oil or coconut oil, and holding cream. Spray the hair with the mixture and finger comb to detangle the curls. Cut out small sections that have become too matted. For frizzy pieces Wrap curls around your finger and release. Allow to air dry. You can also add rollers and dip the rollers in hot water for a bouncy big spiral curl look. xoxo, Krystale Jane'l
