Why Winter Hair Needs Extra Care
Winter brings its own set of challenges for your hair and your luxury hair extensions. The combination of cold, dry outdoor air and heated, dry indoor air can leave your strands dehydrated, brittle, and more prone to tangling.
This seasonal shift can lead to frizz, breakage, and dullness, and going outside with wet hair can make it even worse. The good news? Using the right tools and products can make all the difference, helping your hair (and your extensions) stay healthy, smooth, and flawless all winter long.
Top Luxury Hair Tools for Flawless Extensions This Winter
Essential Brushes for Extensions
The Loop Brush
Winter hair is more vulnerable to damage, and that’s especially true if you have extensions. Protecting your bonds while brushing is a must, and that’s where our Signature Loop Brush comes in. Designed with gentle plastic loops, it prevents snagging while keeping your extensions tangle-free. A true essential for all hair extension types.
The Detangling Brush
Our classic Detangling Brush is a fan favorite for a reason. With its gentle, metal needle-like teeth, it effortlessly detangles both natural hair and extensions, even when wet. Use it in the shower to evenly distribute the conditioner and give your scalp a gentle massage.
Bonus: it now comes in a mini version that’s perfect for your purse, so you can tame tangles on the go.
Together, these brushes are the ultimate winter hair care duo, keeping your natural hair and luxury extensions protected, smooth, and tangle-free all season long.
Drying & Styling Tools
Airwrap ID Multi-styler™
Your hair is not an expense, it’s an investment. And it’s so important that you treat it like one. That’s why I recommend investing in a blow dryer that not only lasts for years to come but also dries your hair while protecting it. You want to make sure you pick a blow dryer that uses low heat, and that’s why I recommend a Dyson. I know it might feel out of budget, but trust me when I tell you that this is the last blow-dryer that you’ll ever have to buy. And investing in this tool once will help you save a lot of money by protecting your hair in the long run.
Flat Iron / Curling Wand
Taking care of your hair doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your style. There are tools out there that can help you style your hair without too much damage. These are a few of our favorite styling tools:
However, we always recommend using a heat protectant (this is our favorite) and reducing heat styling whenever possible. If you’re able to avoid daily heat styling, you’ll better protect your bonds. Luckily for you, because we only use 100% natural, full-cuticle hair, you won’t need to style every day. Our luxury hair extensions behave exactly like your natural hair, which means they’ll hold their style and help you reduce heat styling.
Hair Protecting Products
Winter is one of the toughest seasons for your hair and your extensions. Cold air, indoor heating, snow, rain, and even going outside with damp hair can all lead to dryness, breakage, and damage. That’s why protecting your hair is more important than ever during the winter months. Using the right products will help you maintain healthy, strong hair while keeping your extensions looking flawless.
Heat Protectant Spray
We’ve been recommending this heat protectant for years, and it’s still a staple in our routine. A good heat protectant is essential, not just for your natural hair, but also for the longevity of your extensions. The Genesis Heat Protectant shields your strands from heat, prevents split ends, and tames frizz for up to 24 hours. Whether you’re styling your extensions or your natural hair, this leave-in treatment keeps everything polished, protected, and healthy all day long.
Dry Shampoo
Another way to protect your hair from heat damage is to style less often, and a high-quality dry shampoo makes this easy. Unlike cheaper options that leave a white residue, our favorite dry shampoo actually absorbs oils, moisture, and odors, leaving your hair feeling fresh and light. Perfect for keeping your style between washes, it helps extend the life of your blowouts and keeps your extensions looking flawless.
Styling Accessories
Styling accessories are more than just extras! They’re essential tools for keeping your extensions flawless all winter long. Not only do they help you style with precision, but they also make it easier to use less heat, which is always a win for protecting your extensions.
Silk Scrunchies
Let’s make a promise: from now on, always choose silk hair accessories. That means silk scrunchies, silk pillowcases, and even silk heatless styling tools. Silk is gentle on your strands and prevents breakage, keeping your ends safe in cold, dry winter weather. Using silk scrunchies helps reduce friction, protects your hair, and keeps your extensions looking smooth and healthy, no matter the season.
Clips and Sectioning Tools
These aren’t just for stylists in the salon; they’re game-changers for at-home styling, too. Sectioning your hair with clips allows you to style more precisely, meaning you won’t need to run heat tools over the same section repeatedly. Plus, they make brushing easier and safer, helping to protect both your natural hair and your extensions from unnecessary stress and tangling.
With just a few thoughtful styling accessories, you can keep your luxury hair extensions looking flawless, shiny, and healthy all winter long.
Pro Hair Styling Tips for Winter
Now that you have the right tools to protect your luxury hair extensions this winter, let’s talk about styling like a pro. These are the tips we always share with our clients to keep their hair and extensions healthy, polished, and damage-free:
- Section carefully before styling. Working in smaller sections helps protect your bonds and ensures even styling.
- Don’t overbrush dry hair. Excess brushing can cause breakage and frizz, so be gentle.
- Always use an extension-safe detangling brush on wet hair. This prevents tugging and protects both your natural hair and your extensions.
- Stick to extension-safe products. Oils, heavy creams, and some masks can slip bonds or damage your extensions.
- Never go outside with wet hair. Cold and wet hair is prone to breakage, so make sure it’s fully dried before heading outdoors.
