When it comes to hair extensions, raw hair is probably the best. And if you want your raw hair extensions to last you a long time, you have to take proper care of them. This means avoiding certain products that will potentially damage your raw hair.


Alcohol-Based Products

Alcohol is highly volatile, which means it evaporates easily. This also means that it’s not too good for your hair.

However, alcohol is still widely used in many hair products. It is even used in hair spray!

That's because alcohol will help your hair look shiny and healthy in the short term. Alcohol is also a great disinfectant, meaning it will kill bacteria.

Unfortunately, the long-term result of using an alcohol-based product on your hair is very different. Unlike the short-term result, alcohol will not make your hair look fresh and shiny. Instead, it will make your hair look dull and lifeless.

The amount of alcohol in these products may be very small, but frequent use can still cause damage to your hair.


Silicone-Based Products

Silicone-based products are designed to coat your hair strands with a layer of what looks like plastic. This layer helps to lock in moisture and keep your hair smooth and shiny.

The problem is that this shiny layer is not what it seems. This layer will eventually start to peel off, and the damage underneath can be pretty bad.

Silicones are also highly susceptible to UV light. This means that the silicones used in products will eventually deteriorate when exposed to the sun. The UV rays from the sun will break down the silicones, making your hair look dry.

 

Protein-Based Products

Proteins are what help to keep your hair thick, shiny, and strong. This is why you often see hair products that contain protein.

Unfortunately, proteins are very difficult to work with, and most people don't know how to use them properly. The worst part is that most hair products that contain protein will also contain a lot of chemicals.

When these are on your hair, they can cause your hair to literally stick together.

 

Sulfate-Based Products

Sulfates are what make your hair look great after a shampoo. The reason that sulfates work is that they break down the bonds between your hair's natural oils.

The problem is that sulfates don't stop at your hair's natural oils. Sulfates will also break down the bonds between your hair's natural proteins, making your hair stiff and brittle. In extreme cases, this can even lead to hair loss.

You should note that most commercial shampoos contain sulfates, which is why you should look for sulfate-free shampoo for your raw hair extensions.


In Summary

If you want to keep your raw hair extensions looking good for a long time, you have to take proper care of them. This means avoiding certain products that could potentially damage your hair. Remember that products that contain alcohol, silicone, and protein should be avoided. And if you want to keep your hair healthy, you should also give up on sulfate-based products.
