Spring Hair Detox – Refresh and Rejuvenate Your blūm Hair & Extensions

Spring is all about renewal—warmer weather, fresh looks, and a shift in beauty routines.

But while we update our wardrobes and skincare, our natural hair and extensions also need some seasonal maintenance.

After months of cold temperatures, indoor heating, heavy oils, and protective styles, your hair and extensions might be dealing with dryness, buildup, and dullness.

A Spring Hair Detox is the perfect way to reset your routine, ensuring that your natural hair and blūm extensions are cleansed, hydrated, and ready for styling.

Why Your Hair & Extensions Need a Detox After Winter

During winter, protective styles, heavier oils, and lack of moisture can lead to:

• Dry, flaky scalp – Cold air depletes moisture, leading to irritation.
• Product buildup – Layering butters, gels, and creams can clog hair follicles.
• Lack of hydration – Indoor heating and cold air can make extensions brittle.
• Tangling and shedding – Neglected extensions may become dry and unmanageable.

A Spring Detox is designed to reset your hair and extensions, removing buildup while restoring moisture, softness, and shine.

Properly Washing & Conditioning Your blūm Extensions

A deep cleanse is the first step to detoxing your natural hair and extensions.

A sulfate-free clarifying shampoo removes excess oils and styling residue without stripping moisture.

The Wash Routine for Extensions:

• Shampoo Session: Apply a generous amount of sulfate-free shampoo to your extensions, starting at the base (the weft). Massage gently downward to avoid tangling.
• Rinse & Revive: Rinse thoroughly under warm running water until the water runs clear.
• Condition & Care: Apply a moisture-rich conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends (avoid the weft area to prevent loosening). Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly.
• Cool Cleanse: Rinse out the conditioner with cool water to seal the hair cuticles, leaving the hair silky and easy to style.
• Air Dry: Lay your extensions flat on a clean, dry towel and let them air dry naturally. Avoid wringing or twisting the hair to prevent breakage.

🌼blūm Beauty Tip: Avoid using heavy oils on your extensions, as they can cause buildup and weigh down the hair. Stick to lightweight, water-based moisturizers to keep your extensions bouncy and soft. Learn more in Your Guide to Coloring blūm Extensions: Tips, Tricks, and Essential Care.

Deep Condition for Maximum Hydration

How to Deep Condition Natural Hair:

• Apply a generous amount of deep conditioner to freshly washed hair.
• Let it sit for 15-30 minutes — use a heat cap or steamer for better absorption.
• Rinse with cool water to lock in hydration and smooth the cuticle.

Proper Storage to Keep Extensions Fresh

• Use a blūm Tote or Clutch: Store your extensions in a blūm Beauty Tote or Clutch to prevent frizz and dryness.
• Keep them in a cool, dry place: Keeping your extensions in a cool, dry location contributes to longevity.
• Gently detangle before storing: Use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle the hair.
