Looking after your brown hair extensions
Because brown hair extensions often quite dark, they require a bit of TLC to avoid damaging. Read on our top tips on how to looks after your brunette extensions.
We have listed some go-to tips on how to keep your brown hair extensions looking glossy and healthy at all times. This goes the same if you dye your hair extensions brown instead of using hair extensons
Shampoo + Conditioner
The big thing to assess which shampoo and conditioner is right for your is to look at which tone of brunette you have. Each set comes with some form of undertone from copper to rich mocha tones. These will become more or less obvious depending on the season. Using the right products ensures that your undertones don’t make your hair look a funny colour.
You may have heard of purple shampoo to help your friends that dye their hair blonde avoid brassiness and keep their hair colour brighter for longer. This is similar to brunette hair. Instead of purple, blue shampoo is recommended to keep your brunette locks brass free. Why blue? This keeps richer red undertones at bay that are in a lot of brunette colours.
UV protection
Don’t wait too long to use a colour rinse. As soon as you see the red colour is fading between colour treatments. The rinse colour treatment will give extra vibrancy to the hair. This will keep your hair looking fresher for longer and stop you having to dye your hair too soon (let’s face it we all know that dying your hair isn’t great for it). There is a big difference between being a redhead and brassy locks. Colours like strawberry blonde are notoriously hard to master and it becomes hard to avoid the brass. What will help is toner, and don’t skimp on it. This will keep your colour ‘purer’ for longer.
