Helllooo ladies!
I recently got 18 inch hair extensions sewn in and I'm sooo in love with them!
Anywhooo, I just was wondering if anyone has any tips as to how to keep them from getting so tangled throughout the day.
And also, sometimes the itching is unbearable 😔
Any tips/experiences?
Thanks! 👏🏻

For the itching try using a Leave in oil or moisturizer by where the braids are for your sew in. That happens to me all the time and it turns out your scalp could just be a little dry. As for tips with maintenance/de tangling treat it like YOUR hair. Yes it's an extension but it's not magical flowy magazine ready hair unless you make it that way haha. Take care of it. Sleep with it either in a bun or a braid when you go to sleep, brush your hair gently, apply a little serum or oil lightly to your hair to keep it moisturized. I use Argan Oil on my extensions and it helps for the most part. Long hair will tangle due to natural occurrences like the wind or heat or sweat. So don't fret too much unless it's tangling like a birds nest haha.
