Raw & Mink Hair Care Tips

Washing & Conditioning

How often should I wash virgin hair?
It is generally recommended to wash semi-permanent extensions 1–2 times per week. Clip-in extensions should be washed less frequently, roughly every 15–30 wears or when product buildup is noticeable.
What products are safe to use?
Always use our sulfate-free and paraben-free shampoos and conditioners. We take pride in researching the ingredients used to create our products. Avoid products containing alcohol, high amounts of silicone, or "strengthening" keratin-building proteins, as these can lead to dryness and brittleness.
Can I co-wash virgin hair?
Yes, co-washing (washing with only conditioner) is highly recommended at least once a week to maintain moisture without stripping the hair. Our co-wash for mink & raw indian hair helps extened the lasting of the extensions

Drying & Styling

Is air-drying or blow-drying better?
Air-drying is best for the health of the hair fibers. However, if you have bonded or sew-in extensions, you must blow-dry the roots and wefts on a low-heat setting to prevent moisture-related issues like mildew or bond slippage.
Can I use heat styling tools?
Yes, but always apply a professional heat protectant first. Keep temperatures below 350°F and avoid direct heat on bond or tape application sites.
Can virgin hair be dyed?
Yes, because it is unprocessed, it can be colored or bleached. However, it is best to consult a professional to avoid permanent damage.

Daily Maintenance & Protection

How do I prevent tangling at night?
Never sleep on wet hair. Brush your hair before bed and secure it in a loose braid or ponytail. Using a satin or silk bonnet or pillowcase is critical to reduce friction.
How should I brush the extensions?
Use a wide-tooth comb or a specialized extension brush. Always start detangling from the ends and work your way up to the roots while holding the weft to prevent tension. Use our detangles spray which is home made for raw Indian and mink virgin hair.
What should I do before swimming?
Avoid salt water and chlorine when possible. If you do swim, coat the hair in leave-in conditioner and braid it first to create a protective barrier. Wash and condition the hair immediately after exiting the water.
