<p>The holiday season is almost upon us and with winters serving as a perfect time for weddings in India, it’s time to bring out all the bling you need to get ready for a busy month ahead. While a lot has been said about makeup and accessories that bring a whole look together, we hardly put emphasis on haircare and hair extensions. A massive industry with a growing clientele every year, hair extensions are a must if you are someone who likes to play around with their hair, experimenting with new looks for every party.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The best part about hair extensions is that they are an all-season accessory that not only add&nbsp;length and volume to the hair but enhance&nbsp;the whole look. While hair extensions are designed to make you look your best, they need your care to retain their fresh and natural appearance. We got in touch with Jitendra Sharma, Founder and CEO of HairOriginals, and&nbsp;he shared with us some effective maintenance and styling tips that will help you care for your clip-ins, sew-ins, tape-ins, and DIY hair extensions, the right way to retain their appearance and extend their shelf-life.</p>

<p><em>Here are some expert tips for proper hair extension care and styling:&nbsp;</em></p>

<p><strong>Be gentle with the brushing</strong><br />
Brush your hair extensions frequently in a day to keep issues like tangling and matting at bay. However, pulling harshly at your hair damages hair extensions and loosens the grip. To avoid this, we advise using a wide-toothed comb or soft-bristled brush. Remember to detangle hair extensions from the ends and slowly work to the roots.</p>

<p><strong>Wash with care</strong><br />
Just like natural hair, you should wash your hair extensions at least twice a week to prevent dirt and product buildup. The best bet to ensure gentle cleansing is to opt for a sulphate-free shampoo and a low-pH conditioner. Since getting the roots of hair extensions wet can loosen them, you should be mindful when washing your hair. To ensure this, massage the shampoo gently on your hair and apply the conditioner only on its end.</p>

<p><strong>Blot and squeeze</strong><br />
Heat can damage your hair extensions, so it is best to avoid using it to dry your hair. Instead, try the blot and squeeze method to remove excess water with a soft towel and allow your tresses to air dry. However, if you are in a hurry to reach somewhere and must use a blow dryer, keep the heat setting at the lowest to ensure minimum damage.</p>

<p><strong>Go easy on styling&nbsp;</strong><br />
First thing first, keep heat styling to a minimum when wearing hair extensions. If you want to style your hair extensions, use a heat protectant spray before it. Popular heat styling tools, including flat and curling irons, can damage your hair extensions. This is why we recommend avoiding heat styling whenever possible or picking a high-quality natural hair extension that can withstand heat and aggressive styling.</p>

<p><strong>Care for curls</strong><br />
Curls are a great way to add bounce and volume to hair. However, if you do not follow the correct technique, you can end up damaging your hair extensions. For beginners, we suggest using lightweight flexi rods or foam rollers instead of heated styling tools for minimal damage to the hair extensions. However, leaving the hair tools overnight should be avoided as they are most likely to cause tangling. In this case, the best option is to go for a curly hair extension to avoid these hassles.</p>

<p><strong>Up for updos</strong><br />
Be it special occasions or formal gatherings, updos have been a go-to style for ladies for a long time. However, classic hairstyles are notorious for pulling on hair extensions. So, we recommend being gentle when pulling hair back into a bun, braid, or ponytail to minimise tugging. Alternatively, you can use a ready-to-use bun, ponytail, or braided extensions for better styling.</p>

<p>These easy-to-follow tips to maintain and style your hair extensions can help to keep them looking fresh and natural for the longest. With regular and proper maintenance, you can extend their longevity and go longer without visiting your hair stylists.</p>

Hair extensions care: Expert shares tips for maintenance and styling

<p>Following the success of the 'skin cycling' trend on social media, influencers are advocating the many benefits of 'hair cycling'. Hearing this buzzword for the first time? Fret not! As our beauty guide will make you familiar with this new TikTok trend within minutes. For healthy locks that make every day a 'good hair day', get to know all about this new hair trend that's going viral online.</p>

<h2>What's 'hair cycling'?</h2>

<p>Just as 'skin cycling' was all about following a four-night skincare routine involving a night of exfoliation, a night of retinoid use, and two consecutive nights of recovery, the 'hair cycling' trend talks about alternating products in your hair-care regime, depending on your tresses' needs, in order to achieve the healthiest results for your locks.</p>

<p>After getting inspired by Dr Whitney Bowe, beauty influencer Kelsey Griffin coined the term 'hair cycling' and introduced it on TikTok. In a video, she shared, "I have been doing skin cycling but for hair care for a long time." Griffin shared that she washes her hair about twice a week and switches the products on her shelf often to get best results.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Griffin said, "Every time I wash my hair, I do a different type of shampoo and conditioner routine." The first wash is a reset routine involving detoxing and hydrating products. The&nbsp;second day is all about using a reparative bond-building product or mask. For the third wash, she uses a smoothing shampoo.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For this trend, you just have to ensure that you use harsh and moisturising products in rotation. And, give your locks a break to recover and recuperate.</p>

<h2>Benefits?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Helps with frizzy and dull hair</li>
	<li>Reduces the chance of inflammation</li>
	<li>Addresses multiple hair concerns</li>
	<li>Helps get maximum results from different products</li>
</ul>

<h2>How to 'hair cycle' like a pro?</h2>

<p>Your 'hair cycling' routine will depend on several factors, including your hair type, your lifestyle, and how often you wash your hair.

<p>For the first wash of the week, use a gentle clarifying or detoxifying shampoo, followed by a similar conditioner and serum. Avoid using scalp scrubs to stay away from inflammation or infection. You can also use a sulfate-free shampoo for a double cleanse.</p>

<p>For the second and third wash of the week, use a hydrating shampoo to restore the moisture and shine of your tresses. Then condition your hair with a hydrating mask and use a leave-in conditioner to eliminate frizz, prevent breakage, and strengthen the hair.</p>
