In a previous post, I looked at a few causes of micro ring extensions damage. I need to point out firstly that micro ring damage isn’t very common and I recommend the micro ring method to the majority of my clients. In this post I’d like to include an additional reason that you may have damage to your natural hair when having micro ring extensions attached for a month or so:

Hair Extension Maintenance Tip
Have you recently had hair extensions added by a hair extension technician? If yes, it is really important that you maintain your extensions. Please refer to this previous post I provided which has heaps of info on getting the most out of your hair.
One additional point I’d like to make is follow up maintenance. You really should go back to the extension technician about 2-3 weeks after having them added. This will allow your hair to be checked to make sure everything is in order. It will also give you a chance to ask any questions which you’re more than likely going to have. So if you recently added the extensions, why not book in an appointment now? Don’t just leave the extensions for 3-6 months, by that time if you’re doing something wrong it will be too late.
One other quick side point. Check with your hair extension technician what the costs are (if any) for additional check ups. In some cases, the costs are really high and you may not have any alternative but to pay up. This is especially important for those girls who live in small towns which may only have one hair extension technician.

Restore Hair Damaged From Hair Extensions… Fast!
Hair extensions have been known to occasionally cause hair damage. In a previous post I discussed a possible cause of hair loss when using hair extensions which is traction alopecia. Although this isn’t common, for those that it effects, it is hugely traumatic. So what can you do once the extensions have been removed to restore your hair as quickly as possible? You need to enlist the help of a quality shampoo and conditioner scientifically designed to stimulate hair growth.

Will Swimming Damage Hair Extensions?
If you’ve read my previous post on getting the most out of your hair extensions you’ll know that it’s best to avoid chlorinated swimming pools and the beach. But let’s face it, most of us will end up spending at least some of our summer breaking this rule. If you have clip on extensions, you can easily remove them before swimming. But a lot of women don’t have this luxury and need to take a few precautions to ensure they don’t end up with matted or damaged hair extensions.

How To Reduce Hair Extension Split Ends
There is nothing worse that spending a lot of money on hair extensions and finding loads of split ends a week later. If you do find split ends it is important that you trim them off as soon as possible. Split ends that aren’t dealt with will work their way up the hair (not a good look).
A leave in conditioning treatment is a good idea once you’ve removed split ends as they help reconstruct the hair. But the ideal way to have great looking hair extensions is to take a few simple steps to reduce split ends popping up:
