Can i swim with extenions(braids)?

Question

i have sort like box braids. it is wet and wavy weave. is it okay for me to swim with them in?

Answer 1

I use to get box braids for vacation just so I could go into the water and not have to worry about the hair.  But you may want to braid them together so they don't unravel much and so that they don't loosen from the scalp.  I use to put in a few big braids in pony tails (cute for the beach) and then rinse out the chlorine after the pool and then let air dry and for the evening I would have extra wavy hair, some times I would just wear the hair in my braids (cute for vacation) and the next day take them out.  Good luck.  

Answer 2

No,you can't,but if you dry them afterwards you could.But if you don't you'll end up with lots of painful tangles!

Answer 5

Yes it is Okay depending on the type you have. If you have the human hair then treat as if it were your natural hair but if you have the fake hair then I think the chlorine would damage it. So ya best bet is to get a swimming cap.

Answer 6

I don't think that chlorine water is appropriate with such accessories, my vote goes for NO!

Answer 7

It depends. Could you swim before you got them?
