How to Care for Your Hair Extensions: Essential Tips

Hair extensions are an incredible invention for ladies who wish to add volume, length, or change up their style without needing to alter their natural hair drastically. Here at Volume Salons, we specialize in offering the best hair extensions in Edmonton, tailoring each set to perfectly match your natural hair color, type, and desired length. However, once you leave our salon, the responsibility of maintaining your hair extensions falls onto you. So, how do you care for your lovely locks?


Daily Hair Extension Care

Brushing your hair extensions daily is crucial to prevent tangles and knots, especially if you have longer extensions. A special extension brush or a wide-tooth comb should be used starting from the bottom gently and working your way up to avoid unnecessary pulling.


Washing Your Hair Extensions

Wash your hair extensions every 2 to 3 days with a sulfate-free shampoo. Apply conditioner from mid-shaft to ends while avoiding the roots to not loosen the bonds. Rinse thoroughly and gently pat dry with a towel, avoiding any vigorous rubbing.


Styling Your Hair Extensions

When styling your hair extensions, always use a heat-protectant spray to prevent damage from hot styling tools. It’s advisable to use a low heat setting when possible. Also, avoid applying heat directly to the bonds.


Night-Time Hair Extension Care

Before going to bed, ensure your hair extensions are completely dry to prevent tangles. Consider braiding your hair or tying it in a loose ponytail to avoid matting while you sleep.



In-Salon Maintenance Visits

Even with the best at-home care, you will still need regular in-salon maintenance visits. At Volume Salons, our trained professionals will check the bonds, adjust any that have slipped, and address any concerns you have.


Say No to DIY Color or Perm

Leave color services and perms to professionals. Doing at-home chemical treatments can damage your hair extensions and shorten their lifespan.


Using the Right Products

Invest in high-quality hair care products designed for hair extensions. Not all products are created equal! Avoid products that contain alcohol, sulfates, or are too oily.


In essence, your hair extensions require more care than your natural hair, but it's worth it when you look in the mirror and see those beautiful, luscious locks. The key is to be consistent with maintenance efforts. The better you take care of your hair extensions, the longer they will last, saving you time and money in the long run.


Here at Volume Salons, we’re not just about providing you with stunning hair extensions, we’re also committed to ensuring you have the knowledge and tools to properly care for them. If you have any more questions or need advice on hair extension care, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We’re always more than happy to help.

In the ever-evolving world of beauty, technology is at the forefront of transforming salon experiences. Alberta's salons are embracing high-tech advancements to offer clients more personalized, efficient, and innovative services. At Volume Salons, we are proud to be part of this technological revolution, utilizing the latest tools and techniques to enhance your visit and bring the future of beauty care to you today. The Rise of Tech-Integrated Salons Tech-integrated salons are redefining the traditional beauty experience. From virtual consultations and booking apps to augmented reality (AR) hair color previews, technology is making salon visits more convenient and customized. This integration allows salons to provide better client service, streamline operations, and offer cutting-edge treatments that cater to individual preferences and needs. Virtual Consultations: A Game Changer One of the most significant technological advancements in salons is virtual consultations.

This cutting-edge tool eliminates guesswork and boosts confidence in decision-making, making salon visits more satisfying and stress-free. Booking Apps: Convenience at Your Fingertips Say goodbye to long waits and phone tag with salon booking apps. These apps allow clients to schedule appointments, select services, and even choose preferred stylists with a few taps on their smartphone. Volume Salons' booking app is designed to provide you with a seamless experience, ensuring you can manage your appointments conveniently and efficiently. Data-Driven Personalization Technology enables salons to collect valuable data on client preferences, hair history, and service feedback. This data-driven approach allows stylists to personalize their services and make informed recommendations, enhancing the client's overall experience. At Volume Salons, we utilize these insights to ensure you receive the best care and achieve your desired results. Advanced Treatments and Tools Tech-integrated salons are equipped with state-of-the-art tools and treatments that deliver superior results.
