Keep in mind that you've invested in RAW human hair, which behaves just like your natural hair! Sourced directly from the human scalp, it requires the same level of care and attention. Setting realistic expectations is crucial, particularly with higher-maintenance textures. Without proper care, you may not achieve the results you desire.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR PACKAGE
As a result of the wefting process, it's normal to experience a few loose hairs during your initial brush-out and co-wash. This should significantly decrease after the first few washes. With a consistent haircare routine, you can expect minimal to no shedding on a daily basis. Keep in mind, RAW hair only improves with time and thrives when properly cared for!
DAILY CARE
- Gently brush or comb through your hair to style.
- For added shine and frizz control, apply an alcohol-free glossing polish or hair serum as needed. Avoid overusing products, as too much can lead to stiffness, matting, and tangling. When you notice product buildup, it's time for a co-wash!
- Always use a heat protectant before styling with heat to prevent damage. Keep in mind, excessive heat can alter the hair’s natural wave pattern and overall integrity, just like with your natural hair.
TIPS FOR MAINTAINING YOUR EXTENSIONS: DO'S AND DON'TS
Use ONLY Silicone & Sulfate Free shampoos and conditioners. Silicone causes buildup and doesn't allow moisture to penetrate the hair strands. Sulfate on the other hand strips the hair of its moisture which leads to dryness of the hair.
Neglecting daily maintenance can lead to dirty, tangled, and damaged hair. Proper care is crucial to keeping your extensions in top condition and ensuring they last as long as possible.
Avoid heavy products, including oils. Stick to a lightweight hair serum instead. Using too much oil can weigh the hair down, leaving it looking greasy and stringy. Less product is always better for maintaining a natural, fresh look.
Always opt for air drying instead of blow drying. Excessive heat from a blow dryer can damage the hair, leading to heat damage and breakage. Keep in mind that the hair is raw and behaves similarly to natural hair. If needed, apply a light serum to help control frizz and keep your hair looking smooth.
We cannot stress this enough—always opt for high-quality, premium brands! Remember, your hair is an INVESTMENT, not an expense. The more care and love you put into it, the more it will reward you with gorgeous, long-lasting results!
