CAN I WORK OUT WITH EXTENSIONS?

Extensions won't stop you from working out. You can run, lift, do yoga, swim — all of it.

The main thing to remember is to secure your hair during exercise and wash or rinse it afterward to remove sweat and salt.

Many athletes, trainers, and active people wear extensions without any issues. It just requires a bit of routine maintenance.

Tie your hair up. A loose braid, low ponytail, or bun keeps your hair secured and prevents excessive tangling from movement and sweat.

Avoid high, tight ponytails. Constant tension on the attachment points can cause stress on your natural hair. Keep styles loose and low.

Use a sweatband or headband. This keeps sweat from running directly down your hair and into the bonds or wefts, reducing buildup.

Rinse after sweating. You don't need to do a full wash every time, but rinsing with water removes salt and sweat that can dry out the hair.

You can swim with extensions, but chlorine and salt water can dry out the hair and weaken bonds over time.

Before swimming, wet your hair with clean water and apply a leave-in conditioner. This helps prevent chlorine and salt from fully saturating the hair.

After swimming, rinse immediately and wash with a sulfate-free shampoo as soon as possible. Don't let chlorine or salt sit in your hair.

Leaving sweaty hair tied up for hours. After your workout, let your hair down and brush it out to prevent matting.

Skipping post-workout rinses. Sweat buildup can make extensions smell and tangle more easily. A quick rinse goes a long way.

Working out with wet extensions. Wet hair is more fragile and prone to tangling. Let your extensions dry before hitting the gym.
