Washing Your Hair (Extensions & Natural Hair)
Texture Disclaimer | Raw Hair
Our raw hair is 100% unprocessed and maintains its natural texture. Wavy and curly textures will naturally revert after washing, exposure to humidity, or lack of heat styling. Raw wavy hair is not intended to remain straight without continuous heat styling. Texture behavior is not considered a defect.
Detangle Before Washing:
Always detangle your hair or extensions using a wig brush or wide-tooth comb. Start from the bottom and work your way up to avoid breakage.
Use Cool Water:
Rinse hair with cool water to help preserve the curl pattern, especially with textured extensions.
Conditioner First:
You can use conditioner-only for light cleansing (co-wash). After about two weeks, wash thoroughly with a sulfate-free shampoo to remove product build-up, dirt, and residue.
Recommended Products:
Pantene Gold Series Moisture Boost Conditioner (great for co-washing)
Redken All Soft Mega Curls Shampoo + Conditioner (deep cleanse & hydrate)
Pantene Gold Series Sulfate-Free Shampoo (moisturizing and gentle)
Minimal Heating
Always Use Heat Protectant:
Before using a flat iron or curling wand, apply a heat protectant spray to prevent heat damage.
Limit Product Buildup:
Avoid using too many styling products. Overuse can weigh hair down and clog follicles, especially in wigs or sewn-in extensions.
Caring for Curly Textures
Curl Maintenance:
For curly styles, apply a curl-defining cream or mousse every other day to keep curls bouncy and frizz-free.
Wet Look Routine:
To achieve a defined “wet look,” lightly mist hair with water, then apply a curl-defining product evenly throughout the strands.
Recommended Curl Definers:
Redken Curvaceous Curl Refiner
Pantene Gold Series Curl Defining Pudding
Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Curl Smoothie (natural-friendly)
Night Care Routine
Before Bed:
Lightly wet the hair, then gently braid or twist it while damp (not soaking wet). Avoid tight braids to prevent tension.
Prevent Tangling:
This helps minimize friction, reduce matting, and maintain defined curls by morning.
Sleep Tip:
Always sleep with a satin bonnet or on a silk pillowcase to reduce frizz and preserve moisture.
