Take Care Of Your Holiday Hair

by Rachel Weinhold
Whether you’re headed to party it up in Ibiza or a chill out in the city of Barcelona, everyone loves a summer holiday. Getting away from the English rain and soaking up those long-awaited sun rays is what keeps us going through the rest of the year! But everyone also likes to be looking their best on holiday, which is why we have no doubt you’ll be getting your Spectrum One hair extensions put in before you go. Because, as we all know, long hair, a bikini and a tan is the ultimate summer babe look. So, to make sure you look your best in all you summer selfies, you’re going to want to make sure you know how to look after those gorgeous new extensions before you go. Luckily, we’re here to help. We’ve put together a list of everything we think is essential for hair extensions when you go on holiday to somewhere sunny, so be sure to pay attention ladies!

Hair and Scalp SPF

You put sun cream everywhere else, but do you put it on your hair? Because you should. We don’t mean slathering some of that SPF 30 you’ve just put on your body on your extensions (please don’t do that!). No, we’re talking about buying specific products that have an SPF for your hair.

By using something with an SPF and UV protection, you help block the rays and keep your locks looking lush.

Hair Oil

If you forget your SPF and your hair’s looking a little dry, or the humidity of this strange, new climate is causing some serious frizz problems, hair oil will be your saviour. It’ll re-hydrate, add shine and tame that crazy hair.

Holiday Heat Protect

No doubt you won’t be holding back on the hair styling while you’re away. With all those beach pics and nights out, it’s only right your hair needs to be looking perfect! It’s why you got extensions after all.

Avoid Swimming

Well, you don’t have to outright avoid swimming – you are on holiday after all! But just don’t get your hair in sea water or chlorine. Both can be damaging to the health of your hair, leaving it dry and brittle and completely ruining your colour. Instead, tie your hair up into a bun on the top of your head and try not to dunk your face under the water. Or, get one of those amazing unicorn or flamingo pool floats that are all over Instagram and lounge about in the water that way. You’ll look fabulous and keep your extensions safe, so it’s a win-win!

Wet Extension Care

If you do get your extensions wet in the pool or sea, try and get in a shower as soon as you can. Thoroughly wash your hair before giving it some extra love with a leave in conditioning mask. This’ll help prevent your hair from drying out and give it the TLC it needs to stay looking flawless. You should also make sure to gently brush your extensions after. It should be easier now you’ve treated it to some deep conditioning, but still be careful to get out any tangles and knots. Use one of our hair extension appropriate brushes to ensure you don’t pull out any bonds.

You may be on holiday, but that doesn’t exclude you from knots and matting!
