Straight
- Smooth with a paddle brush once dry to keep the shine.
- A light serum on the ends tames flyaways without weighing hair down.
- If you flat-iron, use low to moderate heat over small sections.
Hair care
Care for your crown.
Raw hair rewards gentle care. With a few good habits, your unit keeps its movement and shine for the long run.
The essentials
The ritual.
Four everyday habits that protect your unit between wash days.
- 1
Detangle gently
Work from the ends up with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Never rip through a knot.
- 2
Keep it moisturized
Raw hair thrives on moisture. Moisturizing products keep it soft, shiny and easy to manage.
- 3
Go easy on heat
Minimize excessive heat. Air-dry when you can, and keep styling tools on a moderate setting.
- 4
Protect, then style
Apply a heat protectant every time before curling, flat-ironing or blow-drying.
The full guide
Step by step.
Everything from wash day to bedtime. Tap a topic to open it.
01Washing
- Wash when product builds up or the hair feels heavy, not after every wear.
- Use lukewarm water and a sulfate-free shampoo. Smooth it downward from root to tip; don't scrub, twist or bunch the hair.
- Condition from mid-lengths to ends. Keep conditioner off the lace and knots at the base.
- Rinse in the direction the hair falls, until the water runs clear.
02Drying
- Press water out with a microfiber towel. Never wring or rub.
- Let it air-dry on a wig stand, away from direct heat and sunlight.
- Don't wear or store the unit while it's still damp.
03Detangling
- Detangle when the hair is damp and has a little leave‑in conditioner in it.
- Start at the ends and work up in small sections, using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
- Hold the hair above a knot as you comb, so you're not pulling on the cap.
04Heat styling
- Apply a heat protectant every time, before curling, flat-ironing or blow-drying.
- Use a moderate temperature rather than the highest setting.
- Give the hair heat-free days between styling sessions.
05Storing
- Keep the unit on a wig stand or in a satin or silk bag, so it holds its shape.
- Store it somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
- Loosely brush it out before putting it away so tangles don't set.
06Sleeping
- Take the unit off before bed when you can.
- If you sleep in it, wrap the hair in a satin scarf or bonnet, or use a satin pillowcase.
Care by texture
Every texture, its own way.
Burmese Curl
- Never brush curls dry. Detangle wet, with conditioner, using your fingers.
- Refresh day‑old curls with a mist of water and a little leave‑in, then scrunch.
- Let curls dry undisturbed so they keep their definition.
Natural Wavy
- Scrunch in a light leave‑in while damp to bring the waves back.
- Air-drying keeps the wave pattern; a diffuser on low heat speeds it up.
- Use a wide-tooth comb rather than a brush to avoid frizz.
