.
But fear not, we've got you covered with our top tips on how to ensure you wake up with flawless long locks every morning.

This is our go to guide on how to get a good night's sleep whilst ensuring your professional hair extensions stay in their best condition too. So whether you have worn hair extensions for a while now or are new to factoring in the maintenance of all things hair extensions into your bedtime routine, sleeping with hair extensions is made all the easier with the below tips.
.
  1. Sleep with a silk pillowcase: Investing in a silk pillowcase is a must for ensuring glossy, soft hair. Not only for your professional hair extensions but to avoid damage to your natural hair too. Unlike regular cotton pillowcases, silk creates less friction, reducing tangles and helps to avoid breakage. Your hair extensions will move smoothly over silk, minimising damage whilst you naturally move during the night. 

.

  1. Tie it up: Before going to sleep, gently brush your extensions and tie them into a loose plait. This really helps to prevent tangling and matting whilst you sleep. Always avoid tight hairstyles or elastic hairbands that can cause tension to the hair and breakage, we love a super soft silk scrunchie.

  1. Detangle before bed: Spend a few minutes to detangle your hair extensions before you hit the pillow. We recommend using a wide-tooth comb to gently remove any knots or tangles. This will save you time and effort in the morning and prevent unnecessary pulling or knots within your hair extensions. 

.

  1. Reach for the hair oil: One of the biggest mistakes people make when wearing professional hair extensions is forgetting to oil their hair twice a day! It’s important to remember to oil your longer locks from mid length to the bottom of the ends to maintain a silky, lustrous texture. Our favourite go-to hair oil is the O&M frizzy logic shine serum which helps to calm and smooth hair of all types.

  1. Regular maintenance: Not only is your night time hair routine super important for great hair but don't forget to schedule regular maintenance appointments with your hairstylist too. Trimming any split ends, refitting loose hair extensions and ensuring proper care and upkeep for your hair extensions by using the correct hair care products is essential.
