Ever heard that you can't exercise with hair extensions? Well we’re here to set the facts straight! You can in fact workout whilst wearing hair extensions. Trust us, here at Beauty Works HQ we love to exercise and we also love wearing our hair extensions! Whether you’re a HITT class, pilates or gym girl - we’ve got all the tips and tricks to help you look after your hair extensions whilst you workout.
Which hair extensions are best for exercise?
If you’re going to exercise regularly, it’s important to choose hair extensions that you can tie up easily and discreetly. The best extensions for users who regularly tie their hair up are Tape Extensions and Micro Ring Extensions as these can be strategically placed for tying your hair up. However, all of our professional extension methods should stay hidden when tying your hair up.
Protecting your hair extensions before you exercise
Before you start exercising, you’ll need to put your hair in a protective hairstyle that will keep your hair extensions tangle-free and out of contact with your skin (and any sweat). We always suggest tying your hair into a braid, as loose hair will tangle easier. But remember to not pull or tie your hair too tight, as this can lead to tugging on your extensions. We suggest tying your hair up with a silk scrunchie or spiral hair tie as they will be more comfortable and gentle on your hair. If you’re doing intense exercise, wearing a headband can help reduce the risk of your hair coming into contact with the sweat (plus they look cute!).
Washing and styling your hair extensions after you exercise
Once you’re done with your workout make sure to brush your hair through with a boar bristle brush to remove tangles and distribute any natural oils evenly throughout your hair.
If your hair does feel a little dirty after you exercise, try to wash it shortly after. Making sure to thoroughly lather with Shampoo, to leave your hair feeling cleansed and nourished.
That’s how simple it is to maintain your hair extensions whilst exercising regularly. If you’re ever unsure on what Professional Extension method is most suitable for your lifestyle, we suggest booking a complimentary consultation with your local Beauty Works certified stylist. All Beauty Works hair extensions specialists complete our training course, so they will be able to evaluate your hair type, discuss your lifestyle with you and help you decide which method is right for you.
