Care
It behaves like your own hair, because it is.
Raw hair with an intact cuticle responds the way growing hair responds. It takes a curl, releases it, and drinks conditioner. It also dries out if you treat it like synthetic. These are the only rules that matter.
Washing
- Use a sulphate-free shampoo. Sulphates strip the cuticle, which is the whole reason this hair lasts.
- Wash in cool or lukewarm water, never hot.
- Work downward from weft to tip. Do not pile the hair on top of your head and scrub — that is what causes matting at the root.
- Condition every wash. Deep condition every third.
Drying
- Press water out with a towel rather than rubbing.
- Air dry where you can. For wavy and curly textures, scrunch and leave alone.
- Never sleep on it wet.
Heat
- Always use a heat protectant.
- Keep irons under 180°C / 350°F. This hair does not need more, and more will cost you months of life.
Colour
Our natural dark shade can be safely lifted to #613. We recommend a professional colourist — the hair takes colour readily, which means it also over-processes readily in inexperienced hands.
Storage
Braid loosely or lay flat in the bag it arrived in. Never store damp.
