Can I Go Swimming With Hair Extensions?

No matter whether you’re swimming in the ocean or in a chlorinated pool, both salt and chlorine will have a negative impact on your extensions causing them to become knotted and even worse matted.

The salt water and chlorine can not only affect the actual hair but also what is attaching the extensions to your natural hair, whether that be; micro rings, nano rings, tape, glue or weft.

In fact it is these that need to be kept try and out of the sea or pool water the most, as these are most fragile when wet.

The problem with chlorine and salt water is that it’s extremely harsh on natural hair, drying it out more than normal, So you can imagine the effect they have on hair extensions which naturally become drier just from day to day wear, because they don’t have access to sebum.
