If you store the hair extensions properly, they will be more wearable. When girls are not using the extensions, they need to store them not to lose their beauty.
When one stores the extensions, there is no need to later deal with tangled hairs. If you don’t store the extensions later, there will be a tangled mess of the hair which can be annoying. Girls might not be able to untangle it without damaging the extension. Even if they try to detangle, it will take a lot of time.
Storing hair extensions in a storage box or an extension hanger not only helps you prevent extensions from tangling, but it also helps you incredibly easily to bring them when you are traveling. You can fold the extension hanger and tuck it into your luggage with your clothes or simply put the storage box inside your luggage.
Although it is extremely important to store the hair extensions properly, girls also need to keep certain things in mind to get all the benefits mentioned before. Here are the things girls should do before storing their hair extensions:
1 - Wash your hair extensions before storing them. I highly recommend using sulfate-free shampoos to keep a small amount of natural sebum on your strands to lock the moisture inside them.
2 - Detangle your extensions before putting them in a storage box or hang them on extension hangers.
3 - Ensure that the extensions are completely dry before storing because the wet extensions can easily attract bacteria and cause bad smell. In addition, you should not put the hair extensions in a place that has a lot of moisture.
