What is the best way to store hair extensions when they are not in use?
I always keep mine in a satin or silk bag to avoid tangling. It’s gentle on the extensions and keeps them from drying out.
Good tip, @Lily! I’ve found that using a hanger specifically designed for hair extensions is also a game-changer. It keeps them straight and ready to use without any tangles or bends.
I agree with both of you. I use a satin bag and the hanger combo! After washing and drying, I comb them and hang them up. It’s a hassle-free way to keep them in shape.
I like using a zip-lock bag with air holes to store mine. It keeps out dust but allows some airflow, which helps if they’re not fully dry yet.
Does anyone else use a mannequin head? I find it’s helpful for maintaining the style, especially if you have curled or styled extensions.
Yes, @Emma! I use a mannequin head too. It really helps to keep the shape, especially with curly extensions. It’s perfect for quick styling before wearing them.
I just store mine in a drawer, but now I’m thinking of investing in one of those hangers you mentioned, @Oliver. Sounds like a great way to keep them in better condition.
I’d suggest avoiding plastic bags entirely. They trap moisture, which can lead to mildew if the extensions aren’t completely dry.
Good call, @Jade. I’ve had that issue before with damp extensions, and it’s not pleasant. Hangers or breathable bags seem to work best.
Agreed on the breathability! And if you’re traveling, make sure to secure them well in a padded bag to avoid any potential damage from shifting in your suitcase.
