Hair Extensions & the Pool or Beach
Q: Hi. I’ve had hair extensions to go on holiday with but stupidly forgot to ask my hair dresser questions about the pool and
the beach. Can I go in a chlorinated or a salt water pool and in the sea with my hair extensions? I have had my extensions glued in
using something called the racoon method.
A: Racoon Extensions are a brand name for a specific line of extensions and hair bonding products rather than a method of application.
In most cases, you should be fine to go in the pool and even the ocean with your extensions, but be aware that you will want to be very
careful with your extensions once you come out of the water. Rinse the hair thoroughly (following all the instructions on doing so
given you by your stylist).
I also recommend that you use the after-care products designed for your particular type of
extensions (sold at the salon). In many cases, salons will refuse to guarantee hair extensions if you do not use their products. The
last thing you want is for the extensions not to last as promised and suddenly find that the hairstyle you paid so much money to get
is now unattractive.
In order to protect yourself fully, I would suggest that you at least telephone the salon and
stylist who performed your service and discuss with them any rules they have for care of your extensions. While the extensions should
be fine when worn while swimming in a pool or the ocean, your salon may have stricter guidelines in order to maintain your eligibility
for warranty if the extensions begin to go bad.
