1. Use the right hair care products
The right hair care is key to healthy, beautiful hair! If you wear extensions, hair care becomes even more important for the longevity of your extensions. Rapunzel’s hair care series is specially designed for hair extensions and consists of paraben-, silicone- and sulphate-free shampoo, conditioner, hair mask and heat protection spray – 100% vegan hair care!
2. Use a hair mask
Treat yourself and your hair to a deeply moisturising hair mask once a week. It will make a huge difference! Rapunzel Hair Mask is an intensely moisturising hair mask that repairs, restores and softens hair without weighing it down.
3. Protect your hair from heat
Styling is often the key to a great hairdo. But as you know, styling tools do their fair share of damage to hair. Protect and moisturise your hair with Moisture & Protection Spray. And why not give your hair a break after one of this week’s washes? Let it dry naturally and create beautiful curls with the Heatless Curls Kit for guaranteed heat-free styling!
4. Don’t sleep with wet hair
Wet or damp hair is more sensitive than dry hair. Sleeping with wet hair causes more damage to the hair. This is particularly important if you wear extensions, since moisture can have a negative effect on the attachments. Dry your hair with the Bamboo Turban Hair Towel and sleep on the Bamboo Pillow Case. Bamboo is soft and gentle on your hair, and absorbs up to 3–4 times more than cotton.
5. Update your hair wardrobe
It’s fun and exciting to be able to change your hairstyle according to the occasion or your mood. Go from a shorter, voluminous hairstyle in the morning to a long ponytail in the evening. And for the weekend? Go for extra length and maximum volume. Check out our ready-to-wear extensions and build your own hair wardrobe!
