SPRING CLEAN YOUR LOCKS.

Winter is always so harsh on hair, and this winter we’ve had has been so bitterly cold. The extremes in temperature, the frost, bitter winds, snow, rain and just generally awful AWFUL weather and of course the enemy of hair HATS (we know we need them, and we do love a good woolly hat but hat hair is always the inevitable outcome with a hat!) all wear out our hair, whether you’re going natural or wearing a weave and we have to take special care of it. Also winter makes hair dry, and we all go at it so much with heat styling to try and fight the frizz that at Sleek HQ we feel that before Spring bounces on us we should go about giving our tresses a good Spring Clean.

TIME OUT.

This is the perfect time of the year to give your hair a time out. Natural hair needs to have some time to breathe and what better time to give it than right now when the weather is still a bit nippy and you can wear a hat, or style it up in an oh so of the moment ponytail or up do. If you don’t fancy just having your natural hair, you can always use a clip in ponytail or a half wig instead of a full wig of weave. But use this time to really deep condition your natural hair, since it’s the base for your weave and wigs you want it to be strong and healthy!

PROTECT.

Don’t neglect your natural hair once you have your weave on! It still needs to be looked after and we recommend applying oil to the edges of the braids to nourish your hair. You can do this once every two weeks when you wash your weave. We also suggest you do a protein treatment as well as an extra maintenance measure. Before going to sleep braid your hair into sections, this stops your hair tangling whilst you sleep and then cover your hair with a silk scarf to help protect the shine. This will all make your hair last longer and look fresh from day one to day 60.

INVEST.

Good quality hair is always going to be the best hair for you to be wearing. We know there are cheap, synthetic and human hair brands on the market but you get what you pay for. Cheaper hair is never as good condition and sheds more than a quality product. Sleek Hair is all made from premium hair, whether we’re using human hair, Brazilian, Remy or synthetic. Our hair is all sewn together and is in tight double wefts or lace caps made expertly to prevent shedding and are proven to be long lasting and to keep its shine. We’re proud of our end product and we know you will always feel fabulous and beautiful in it!
