Caring for Your Blūm Extensions: A How-To Guide

Wearing Blūm hair extensions is a fantastic way to enhance your look, add length, and experiment with different styles. However, proper care is essential to maintain their quality and longevity. At Blūm, we believe that taking care of your extensions ensures you always look your best. This guide will share essential tips on how to care for your Blūm hair extensions, keeping them in top condition and making sure they blend seamlessly with your natural hair.

Washing Your Extensions

• Frequency: Wash your natural hair and extensions every 7-10 days, or as needed based on your lifestyle and scalp's oil production.
• Shampoo: Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to cleanse your scalp and hair without stripping away natural oils.

• Conditioner: Apply a lightweight, moisturizing conditioner to your natural hair, focusing on the ends.
• Leave-In Treatments: Use a leave-in conditioner or lightweight oil to keep your natural hair hydrated and nourished. For more tips on maintaining healthy hair and scalp, read our guide on Caring for Your Scalp and Natural Hair While Wearing Blūm Extensions.

Detangling

• Tools: Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently detangle your extensions. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid breakage.
• Technique: Be patient and gentle to prevent unnecessary stress on the hair.

Drying

• Air Drying: Allow your extensions to air dry whenever possible. This method helps maintain the integrity of the hair fibers.
• Low Heat: If you need to use a blow dryer, opt for a low heat setting. High heat can damage both your natural hair and extensions.

Styling

• Heat Protection:
  • Heat Tools: When using heat styling tools like straighteners or curling irons, always apply a heat protectant to your extensions.
  • Moderate Heat: Use the lowest effective heat setting to style your extensions.
• Versatile Styling:
  • Experiment: Blūm extensions are versatile and can be styled in various ways. Whether you want sleek and straight hair, voluminous curls, or a natural look, our extensions can handle it all.

  • Protective Styles: Consider wearing protective styles that minimize tension and stress on your natural hair and scalp. Our blog post Headband Wigs: The Secret to Effortless Style in Minutes offers a great low-tension styling option.

Night Care

• Nighttime Routine:
  • Silk or Satin: Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase to reduce friction and minimize tangling of both your natural hair and extensions.
  • Protective Cover: Consider using a satin or silk scarf or bonnet to further protect your hair and extensions.

Storage

• Cool, Dry Place: Store your extensions in a cool, dry place such as your Blūm bag, when not in use.
• Protective Bag: Use the provided Blūm carry bag to keep them protected from dust and other pollutants. Ensure your extensions are fully dry before storing them.
