Premium hair accessories add shine to your look. This is possible and therefore they need care. Scratches, chips and other defects deprive the jewel of its unique beauty. No need to get upset, keeping the jewelry in its original form is not that difficult. You can do it yourself at home, follow a number of rules.
- If you engage in physical activity, remove hair accessories.
It doesn't matter if you're cleaning the house or going to the gym. Products must be protected from mechanical influences. Failure to do so may result in surface scratches and Swarovski crystals chipping off. Stones can also fall out and get lost.
- Avoid contact of products with cosmetics and cleaning agents.
Before applying creams, lotions and other cosmetics, it is recommended to remove the hair clips and after application wait a while for the preparations to be absorbed into the skin. The fact is that they may contain substances that cause discoloration of the products or damage to the surface of the jewelry. The same applies to detergents. This means that hand washing or showering is also better without hair accessories. Another source of problems are hair products (sprays, foams) and perfumes. Therefore, it is recommended to put on jewelry after applying make-up, styling and using perfume.
- Make sure that the clips do not overheat and that they are exposed to as little direct sunlight as possible.
Intense ultraviolet radiation spoils the appearance of hair jewelry. This means that it is better to go to the solarium and sauna without them, and also not to store the clips in direct sunlight or near heating devices. This is especially true for jewelry with Swarovski pearls. When exposed to ultraviolet radiation, they lose color and shine. There is also a risk of cracks.
- Try to avoid contact of the products with salt water or pool water.
Sea water contains salts and iodine, which adversely affects the surface of hair accessories. If you swim in the sea without removing your jewelry, rinse it with fresh water to prevent damage. The water in the pool is also quite aggressive towards precious metals and stones, so it is better to remove hair accessories before visiting it.
- Pay special attention to placing jewelry in your hair.
The product should be stored in a case in a dry place. At the same time, it is important to avoid mutual contact between the products so that there is no collision or confusion. Creases and scratches are common when hair jewelry is stored together. This is especially true for products with Swarovski crystals and pearls. Hard stones damage the surface.
- Products should be wiped from time to time.
Wipe hair jewelry regularly with suede, flannel or special jewelry wipes. This will help restore the original shine.
- Do not sleep in hair accessories.
It is recommended to remove the products before going to bed, as they can get caught on fabric or hair during sleep. As a result, not only the product will be damaged, but also your skin.
- Take care of your hair jewelry when traveling.
Jewelry should only be shipped in hard boxes to help prevent deformation and damage. And there is no need to put hair accessories in your luggage. This can be dangerous for them in many different senses of the word.
