Lucinda Ellery Reviews Best Practices for Long, Healthy Natural Hair

Contrary to popular belief, hair extensions aren’t bad for your natural hair. In fact, some hair extensions can mask damaged natural hair, giving it time to recuperate from the damage it has sustained over the years. Of course, this all depends on two factors: how skilled your stylist is at attaching the extensions and how well you take care of your natural hair.

Fortunately, both factors are well within your control, making hair maintenance efforts relatively easy. As such, industry expert Lucinda Ellery reviews the best practices for growing long and healthy hair while wearing extensions:

Eat Right

Like the rest of your body, your hair needs a steady supply of nutrients to grow at a healthy pace. According to doctors, your hair needs an ample amount of iron, zinc, and vitamins D and B complex to grow. You can add these nutrients to your diet by eating more salmon, chicken, mushrooms, eggs, avocados, oysters, and spinach. Taking a multivitamin in the morning can also provide your hair the extra boost of nutrients it needs.

Hair Conditioner

Throughout the course of a day, your scalp and hair will inevitably dry out, leaving it brittle and prone to hair breakage. This is why you should use moisturising conditioner after shampooing. You may also opt to use leave-in hair conditioner instead as this helps protect your hair against the sun’s UV rays. Don’t use regular hair conditioner as if it were leave-in conditioner as it can damage your hair.

Stay Away from Heat

Directly applying heat to your hair will damage it whether it’s natural or extensions. Stay away from curling irons, straightening irons, and blow dryers. If you need to use a blow dryer to style your hair, set it to blow out cold air. You can also resort to using curlers or heated rollers instead of a curling iron.

By following these best practices for maintaining natural hair and hair extensions, you’re sure to keep your hair’s lustre within a few months.
