Winter Hair Care: Protecting Your blūm Extensions in Cold Weather

Winter can be a challenging season for those of us rocking natural hair extensions.

The cold air outside and dry heat inside can leave our tresses dry and prone to breakage.

But don't worry, blūm beauties – we've got you covered with some expert tips to keep your extensions and natural hair looking flawless all winter long!

Hydration is Key

Just like your skin needs extra moisture in winter, so do your blūm extensions.

Since extensions don't get natural oils from your scalp, it's crucial to keep them hydrated.

Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner or moisturizing spray to prevent dryness and brittleness.

Deep Condition for Extra Moisture

Before installing your protective style, make sure to give your natural hair some TLC with a deep conditioning session during your wash day.

You might even use a deep conditioning cap or sit under a steamer to restore moisture to your strands.

This will help ensure your protective style has a healthy, moisturized base.

blūm Beauty Secret: Avoid heavy oils on your extensions – they can weigh down your fabulous style and cause product buildup.

Stick to water-based products for that perfect balance of moisture and bounce.

Wash Your Extensions Wisely

Over-washing can strip away essential moisture from your extensions and natural hair.

Choose a sulfate-free shampoo to cleanse without drying out your hair.

For clip-ins, gently remove and wash them separately.

Bundle Up, Beauties!

When you step out into the winter wonderland, make sure your hair is protected!

Rock a satin-lined hat or wrap your hair in a stylish scarf to shield your blūm extensions from cold air, wind, and snow.

This simple step can prevent dryness and tangling.

Nighttime Glam

Your blūm extensions deserve the VIP treatment, even while you sleep.

Wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf, or invest in a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and keep your hair smooth overnight.

For clip-ins, carefully remove and store them in your blūm Beauty Clutch before bed to maintain their fabulous shape.

Don't Forget Your Natural Hair

While your blūm extensions are stealing the show, don't neglect the natural hair underneath.

Keep your scalp moisturized with lightweight oils.

If you're wearing sew-ins, gently cleanse your scalp every 1-2 weeks to prevent product buildup and keep your natural hair healthy.

blūm Reminder: Healthy natural hair is the foundation for gorgeous extensions.

Take time to care for your own hair, and your blūm styles will look even more fabulous!
