Caring for your Brazilian hair

Brazilian hair is natural human hair that is top quality and loved by many. Its specialty is that it does not go through any chemical processing and it is glossy, silky and light in texture, making it one of the most popular hair extensions on the market today. The shiny natural look makes it look good on any head and you can select a color that matches the color of your natural braids for a natural look even with the extension in place.

The best features of Brazilian hair are that it doesn't tangle, shed or dry, and it can also hold those beautiful curls for a long time. Hair extensions come in a wide range of colors and lengths, so you can choose the perfect one for you. Whichever Brazilian hair you choose, you need to take care of it to continue enjoying its beautiful appearance. Brazilian hair can also be very expensive, so it only makes sense that you figure out the best way to care for it.

Tip 1: Make sure a professional fixes your hair extension for you. Proper placement is important because it protects your natural hair from damage and breakage that can result from very tight weaving or application. This can also leave you with a painful scalp. It should also not be loose because it could end up damaging it or it will mess up faster. Let a professional handle the fixation for best results.

Tip 2 - For virgin hair extensions in the Brazilian type, clean the scalp and then the hair extension. Powdered shampoos can be great options for caring for your scalp and hair, too. Use a mild shampoo weekly to make sure it works from the scalp to the edges to keep knots at bay.

Tip 3 - To keep your Brazilian Hair extension silky and smooth, use a light conditioner after washing. Deep conditioning can be done monthly, but if the piece is colored or very dry, then deep conditioning is best done every fortnight for a silky smooth appearance.

Tip 4 - Rinse conditioner and shampoo thoroughly to keep hair build-up at bay and minimize scalp problems. Use a thick towel to dry your hair, making sure to blow dry rather than rub. You can also use a blow dryer, but minimally because frequent heat could end up damaging your hair extensions.

Tip 5 - After thoroughly drying your hair, apply a moisturizer or light oil and then comb. A wide-tooth comb is better than a brush, because a brush can pull out hairs leaving the hair extension messy.

Tip 6: use argan oil on the accessory for quick absorption and root penetration to improve hair elasticity. The oil has vitamin E that strengthens the hair, minimizing damage to Brazilian hair.
