Your perfect evening routine with hair extensions
Simple tips to ensure your hair extensions survive the night well
Many people focus on their skincare routine in the evening – but often forget that their hair also needs care. A gentle evening routine is especially crucial if you wear real hair extensions. While you sleep, your hair is particularly prone to friction, frizz, and tangles.
With the right techniques, you can protect your own hair and your extensions overnight and ensure that they remain beautiful, shiny and supple for a long time.
1. Comb gently – but properly
Before going to bed, you should always gently brush your hair. It's best to use a special extension brush and start at the ends. Then brush upwards step by step – this prevents unnecessary pulling and protects the tape-in bonds.
2. Apply hair oil
Yes, hair oil is ideal in the evening too! A drop of our 5 Oil Elixir can work wonders. It locks in moisture, reduces frizz, and protects the lengths from friction overnight. Simply rub a small amount between your palms and gently press it into the ends. The oil was specially developed for daily use and won't weigh your hair down.
3. Tie your hair loosely together
Loose hair gets tangled particularly easily while sleeping. Braid your hair or tie it in a low, loose braid or bun. This will protect it from friction, breakage, and unpleasant knots.
4. Sleeping on the right pillow
A true game-changer for those with hair extensions: pillowcases made of silk or satin. Unlike traditional cotton pillowcases, they reduce friction, prevent frizz, and don't draw moisture from the hair. The result: less breakage, more shine, and a noticeably more comfortable feel.
5. How to properly store clip-in extensions
If you wear clip-in hair extensions or a ponytail, always remove them before going to bed. Gently brush them and store them in a breathable fabric bag or protective cover. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming matted.
6. Always dry your hair thoroughly.
Only wash your hair in the evening if you have enough time to dry it completely. Wet hair is particularly fragile, and damp tape-in extensions can loosen or swell.
Here's how to do it correctly:
▪ Gently squeeze your hair dry with a towel.
▪ Then spray the chaarmant ᴺ4 Leave-In Treatment into towel-dried hair.
▪ Blow-dry it completely on a low setting.
▪ Only brush your hair gently once it is completely dry.
▪ Finally, apply some chaarmant ᴺ5 Oil Elixir to the ends for protection and shine.
Conclusion
A well-planned evening routine not only extends the lifespan of your extensions but also ensures you wake up with soft, healthy-looking hair. Whether you're using real hair tape-ins, clip-ins, or a ponytail – your hair will appreciate a little attention before bed.
