Top Tips on Hair Extension Discolouration

If your clip-in hair extensions aren’t looking as fresh and vibrant as they used to, you’re not alone. Discolouration can sneak up on anyone, whether it’s from sun exposure, heat styling, or even your shampoo. In this blog, we’re spilling all the top tips to help you keep your extensions looking bright, beautiful, and totally Instagram-worthy.

 

Protect your extensions from the sun.

 

Just like your skin, your clip-in hair extensions need protection from the sun, too. UV rays can break down the hair’s pigment, causing fading or unwanted tones to show through, especially in lighter shades. To help prevent this, consider covering your hair with a hat or lightweight scarf during long hours in the sun, or apply a UV-protection spray.

 

Be careful around pools and the sea.

 

Swimming in chlorinated pools or salty seawater might feel amazing, but your clip-in hair extensions definitely don’t agree. Chlorine can strip away colour and moisture. Saltwater isn’t much better — it dehydrates the hair and can pull out those pretty ashy or violet tones, leaving your extensions looking dull and brassy. We want you to avoid this kind of damage as much as possible, but if a swim is on the cards, at least prep your hair with a good chlorine-protectant spray and keep it tied up to limit exposure.

 

Keep our HairX Sodium-Free Extension Conditioner handy.

 

One easy way to keep your clip-in hair extensions looking fresh is by using the right aftercare products, especially when you're on the go. Our HairX Sodium-Free Extension Conditioner is perfect for this. It's free from sodium chloride, which can strip hair of moisture and colour, making it a must for protecting against dryness and discolouration. Just a quick touch-up after sun or water exposure can make a huge difference in how your extensions look and feel.
