Caring for Your Natural Hair and Scalp While Wearing Blūm Hair Extensions

Wearing hair extensions is a fantastic way to switch up your look, add length and volume, and experiment with different styles. However, it's crucial not to neglect your natural hair and scalp health in the process.

At Blūm, we believe that a healthy hair foundation is key to achieving the best results with our extensions. In this article, we'll share essential tips on how to care for your natural hair and scalp while wearing Blūm hair extensions.

Scalp Care is Essential

• Massage: Regularly massage your scalp to promote blood circulation and healthy hair growth.
• Scalp Treatments: Use a scalp oil or treatment to nourish and soothe your scalp, especially if you experience dryness or irritation.

Provide Extra TLC on Extension-Free Days

• Deep Conditioning: Focus on the ends and any areas that feel dry or damaged.
• Trim Ends: Trim your natural hair as needed to maintain healthy ends and prevent split ends.

Protect Your Hair While Sleeping

• Silk or Satin: Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase to reduce friction on both your natural hair and extensions.
• Loose Styles: Braid or loosely tie your hair before bed to keep your curls in their natural state.
• Protective Cover: Consider using a satin or silk scarf or bonnet to further protect your hair and extensions.
