Q: What is virgin hair?
A: Refers to hair that is completely unprocessed and intact. To qualify as virgin hair, it must meet rigorous standards including: not been premed, dyed, colored, bleached, chemically processed in any way. This also means it comes from a single donor, and all cuticles are intact, running in the same direction. Usually, it also means that is has not been blow-dried, nor exposed to harsh agents such as cigarette smoke and drugs.
Q: How many hair do I need?
A: If you are getting a full weave, the average person needs about 2 packs of hair, although it is advised to go for 3 packs.. The longer the length of hair, the shorter the width of the track end to end, this means you will need more hair for more coverage for more volume and fullness. If in doubt, always get a third pack for safe measure, it's better to have a little extra rather than not enough during your hair appointment. Whatever you don't use you can save for your next install or a touch up down the road. Please keep in mind that our curly hair is naturally much more thicker than straight or wavy hair. This means you may not need as much hair for a full look.
Q: What type of hair care products should I use?
A: Treat this hair like your own hair. Use good quality shampoo and conditioning products. You should stay away from ammonia based products because they can break down the cuticles on the hair, this can lead to tangling and shedding. Conditioning your hair is very important to keep it soft and manageable, so use leave in conditioners. You can also use products like gel and hair spray to keep the curls in place, but make sure to wash your hair and not leave in these products in for a long time.
Q: Why are my hair extensions getting tangled?
A: Your Hair Extensions can tangle due to being to dryness, oil & dirt build-up, salt-water, chlorine and not combing (wide tooth comb) out your hair daily. Make sure to wash & condition your hair at least once a week, twice a week is better. Use hydrating drops or consult your stylist for more help. It could also be the hair you purchased, if the hair is not 100% virgin human hair. the hair may tangle sooner and not last you as long as 100% virgin hair.
Q: How long does it last?
A: This hair can last for a very long time depending on how you maintain it. Treat it like your own hair and take very good care of it for it to last longer. Many hair extensionist prefer Brazilian or Indian hair because it is beautiful and unprocessed which makes it last longer than any other kind of hair.
