What to do if I swim without securing my hair extensions and see a mess when I get out of the water.

If you do run into trouble and swim without properly securing your hair extensions you will probably be in for a bit of work. Do not attempt to brush your hair out while wet. You will have to leave it till it dries out. Here is what I can suggest for your best bet at not completely stuffing up your hair.

1) Rinse the salt/ chlorine out as best you can.
2) Spray in some leave in treatment.
3) Wait until your hair is dry before attempting any type of brushing or combing out. You are going to have to look ugly for a while as your punishment so deal with it.
4) When your hair is dry begin to comb from the ends up. This process could take many hours depending on the severity of the tangling.
5) Stay calm at all times as you may get the feeling of just chopping all of your hair off. It really isn’t worth it.
6) You will now have a chance to fix your hair, if it feels crunchy and gross you can wash and condition your hair, it may be a good time to deep condition/ treatment your hair.

You can fix your hair if you do get it extremely tangled but it will take some work, if you cannot manage you should take yourself back to whoever installed your hair and ask them if they can fix it for you, or have them remove the extensions and start again.
