🪮 Step 1: Gentle Detangle Before Washing
Start every wash day by gently detangling the hair when it's dry. This helps prevent unnecessary breakage and tangling during the washing process.
- How to Detangle:
- Start at the ends of the hair, gently working your way up to the roots.
- Use a wide-tooth comb or a paddle brush to avoid tugging.
- Work in sections to make the detangling process easier and more thorough.
✔️ Always detangle the hair dry to prevent stress on wet hair. Wet hair is more fragile and can easily break.
🛑 Avoid tugging or pulling the hair, especially around the wefts, as this can cause shedding.
Why this matters: Wet hair is more fragile and prone to breakage if not properly prepped.
🧴 Step 2: Shampoo the Right Way — Less Is More
For Raw Indian Hair, it's essential to use sulfate-free, paraben-free, and hydrating shampoos. Harsh shampoos can strip the hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and damage.
- How to Wash:
- Wet hair gently in a downward motion using lukewarm water (hot water can cause dryness).
- Lather shampoo in your palms and apply it gently to the hair.
- Smooth the shampoo down the length of the hair, avoiding rubbing or twisting. This minimizes frizz and damage.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
✔️ Shampoo only once — Overwashing can cause the hair to become dry and brittle.
🗓️ Wash every 7–14 days, depending on buildup and how often you style the hair.
Top Shampoos We Recommend:
- SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention
- OGX Argan Oil of Morocco
- Maui Moisture Heal & Hydrate
- Moroccanoil Moisture Repair
💧 Step 3: Condition & Deep Condition
Conditioning is crucial for maintaining the softness and elasticity of your extensions. Always use a good moisturizing conditioner after shampooing, and deep condition periodically to replenish moisture.
- How to Condition:
- Apply a generous amount of conditioner to mid-shaft to ends, avoiding the wefts to prevent buildup.
- Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the product to penetrate.
- Rinse with cool water, which helps seal the hair cuticles and enhances shine.
✔️ Use a moisturizing conditioner that is rich in nutrients like shea butter, argan oil, or coconut oil for added softness and shine.
💡 Deep conditioning every 2–3 washes helps restore moisture and prevent dryness.
Top Deep Conditioners:
- Aussie 3 Minute Miracle
- TGIN Honey Miracle Hair Mask
- Moroccanoil Hydrating Conditioner
🌬️ Step 4: Drying — Air Is Your Best Friend
Proper drying techniques are essential to maintain the longevity of your Raw Indian Hair. Air drying is the gentlest option, but if you must blow-dry, be sure to use heat protection.
- How to Dry:
- Blot the hair gently with a microfiber towel — do not rub, as this can cause frizz and breakage.
- Air dry the hair by laying it flat on a towel or hanging it.
- If you must blow-dry, apply a heat protectant spray and use low to medium heat.
✔️ Never rub hair with a regular towel as it can lead to tangling and frizz.
❌ Avoid high heat; excessive heat can dry out the hair and reduce its lifespan.
✨ Step 5: Heat Styling — Do It Smart
Raw Indian Hair holds curls and straightens beautifully, but using heat too often can weaken the hair. Always be mindful of the temperature and the products you use when styling.
- How to Style:
- Apply heat protectant spray or serum to protect the hair from damage.
- Use ceramic tools or tourmaline-based styling tools, as they distribute heat evenly and cause less damage.
- Keep the styling tools at low to medium heat to prevent frying the hair.
✔️ Only style once or twice a week to prevent overexposure to heat.
❌ Avoid excessive heat — let your hair rest and breathe to maintain its health.
🌙 Step 6: Nighttime Hair Protection
To prevent tangling, breakage, and frizz, your nighttime routine is just as important as your daily care.
- How to Protect Hair at Night:
- Wrap your hair in a silk or satin bonnet or scarf.
- For extra protection, braid or twist your hair loosely before bed.
- Sleep on a silk pillowcase to help retain moisture and minimize frizz.
✔️ Silk/satin helps reduce friction, preventing the hair from drying out or tangling during sleep.
🧴 Step 7: Avoid Product Overload
It's essential to maintain a clean, light routine without overloading the hair with products. Too many products can cause buildup, which weighs the hair down and makes it look dull.
- What to Use:
- A small amount of argan oil or jojoba oil is enough to keep the ends moisturized and smooth.
- Avoid using products with silicone, alcohol, or heavy waxes, as these can leave residues and dry the hair out over time.
✔️ Clarify once a month to remove any buildup and refresh your extensions.
📦 Step 8: Store It Right
When you’re not wearing your extensions, proper storage is key to ensuring they remain in top condition for years.
- How to Store:
- Store dry hair in a satin bag or storage box.
- Keep the hair in a cool, dark place away from sunlight and moisture, which can lead to tangling and breakage.
✔️ Never store damp hair as this promotes mildew and odors.
