How do Hair Extensions Get Damaged?
- Low Quality
Since synthetic hair cannot take as much harm as human hair and over-processed hair extensions are too delicate to withstand outer harm, they will be ruined soon if they are made of either of these materials. Particularly dyed or permed hair is more prone to drying out and breaking off when processed.
2. Sun Exposure
In addition to harming your skin, ultraviolet radiation also ruins hair and hair extensions. Without covering or upkeep, exposure to the sun will rapidly dry your extensions and remove any remaining moisture.
3. Hard Water
High mineral concentration in hard water damages pure hair extensions by drying them out and depriving them of their original color. Hard water has high mineral content.
- Salty Water
Your hair extensions will suffer harm from chlorine and sodium from salty water and dirt from all bodies of water by depriving them of moisture. Since your hair extensions lack natural oils, they have no way of mending themselves because they can't acquire them from your scalp. If you regularly swim, your extensions may be dry and knotted, making them more difficult to brush and more likely to break. Your extensions' quality will be preserved by getting constant maintenance.

LOC Method
The words LOC stand for liquid, oil, and cream. This method for deeply moisturizing extensions uses a particular combination of products, beginning with the wateriest and ending with the thickest. It is an easy and efficient approach to reviving your hair extensions. Wash your hair extensions in warm water because lukewarm water can cause dry hair extensions' cuticles to open and allow moisturizing products to penetrate them. Water or other liquids may be used as the liquid, and any oil may be used as the oil, including jojoba, argan, coconut, avocado, and olive oils. Additionally, any creamy deep-conditioning product may be used as the cream in hair extensions. Applying the products in order, layer by layer, especially from the mid-shaft to the end of the hairs.
- Warm Hair Oil Treatment
