Extensions may require a bit of adjusting, and a bit of extra work when it comes to breaking a sweat. But, with the right knowledge in mind, there is nothing you can’t do with extensions that you could do without them. Stick with Beyond the Beauty, and we’ll show you how you can work on your fitness, and keep your extensions looking great while doing it!
Protecting Your Extensions During a Workout
When you start exercising with natural hair, most of the time you’ll just pull it back into a ponytail or bun to keep it out of your face, right? Well, this can take a bit of a gentler touch when you have real hair extensions to consider. Instead of pulling your hair back into a high or tight ponytail, make a loose, low ponytail. You can secure it with a scrunchy, or metal band, so it won’t fall out as you’re exercising. That’s step one in keeping your extensions safe, and well-bonded to the hair itself.
The second best tip for keeping your Remy hair extensions protected and looking great? Consider the type of exercise you’re doing. For example, if you want to swim laps, you’ll need to protect both your natural hair, and the extensions, from the harmful chemicals in a treated pool. One of the easiest ways to do that is with a heat-resistant, moisture-locking leave-in conditioner. You want your hair, and the extensions to remain silky and smooth, and safe, effective products are the best way to do just that.
If you work up quite a sweat during your workout, a leave-in conditioner is also a great way to protect the hair extensions. Obviously, your sweat doesn’t have the chemicals found in a pool, but it can lead to tangles and frizziness, so protect your hair when you can.
Making the Most of a Workout
Finally, take the time to treat your extensions after you’re done working out. Shampoo and condition it regularly, and feel free to use deep conditioning treatments on the ends of the hair if it feels dried out or brittle.
With the right treatment and care at your fingertips, there is absolutely no reason you can’t make this year the best one yet - for your physical health, and for the way you look. Don’t let quality extensions get in the way of your fitness goals. You truly can have it all!
