HELLO FALL,
The temperature is dropping and you’ve decided to protect your natural hair from the cold weather and dryness associated to it by opting for a protective hairstyle such as wig or hair extensions.
Caring for raw virgin hair can be tricky if you don’t know where to start but with the right haircare regimen you will be able to manage a stressfree hairstyle.
MOISTURE, MOISTURE, MOISTURE!
Hair moisturizing needs to find its place in your daily haircare routine. Like your own natural hair, virgin hair is also impacted by cold weather. We highly recommend oil serums such as coconut oil, argan oil or jojoba oil. That will help prevent dryness, static and tangling.
By using just a very small amount everyday it will give your hair the moisture it needs.
HOT STYLING TOOLS
In order to preserve your AVH extensions ALWAYS use a heat protectant before the use of a hot styling tool . The protectant is a barrier to prevent breakage, dryness, dullness, and brittleness.
DEEP CONDITIONING
It’s very crucial to also include a weekly deep conditioning treatment.
Be very generous with the conditioner, get that hair satured! The goal is to repair dry, damaged hair by rebuilding the hair’s molecular layer and replenishing moisture.
Secret tip: Put a plastic bag on top of your head when you’re deep conditioning and let it sit for at least 45min to an hour. The heat coming from your scalp will actually help open up the cuticules and allow a better penetration of the formula into you hair.
The same can be done with a wig, place unit in a sealed plastic bag and put in warm water.
HAIR PRODUCTS
We hightly recommend using hair products low in chemicals, preferabley sulfate & paraben-free. Our favorite brand is OGX. They have differents serums available such as argan oil, coconut oil.
SATIN PILLOWCASE, SCARF & SILK BONNET
By including those in your nightime routine it will help reduce friction and hair damage while you’re asleep. The smooth surface also help to maintain the oil in your hair.
HAIR DETANGLING TIPS
Start your detangling process with a wide-tooth comb. Gently work your way from bottom to top to remove any possible knots. Then use a loop brush to finish detangle.
