Satin cap

Satin Cap

I would recommend buying a satin cap or purchasing a satin pillow case to maintain hydration. You can braid your hair into two or more large braids if your hair is lengthy and then place your satin cap over it.

A Large Wide Tooth Comb

Wide Tooth Comb

Depending On Your desired style I would first Brush the hair out with A Large tooth comb a Wig brush. If you want to maintain a “new” look just finger comb it with your hands and go!

Detangling…

Each pattern does require Section by Section detangling at least twice a day.

When you wake up and before you sleep.

The Infamous Denman Brush

To Ensure the longtivity of your Remy hair requires de-tangling TWICE a day. De-tangle BEFORE you wash and AFTER you wash. This goes for all textures even straight hair. I know that doing all this seem time consuming but the ending result will be well worth it! =)

After the first Day that night before you sleep…de-tangle starting from TIP to ROOT. Section off a Small part of your lace wig starting from the bottom of your wig. This section should be small enough where a smaller tooth comb would be able to go through it with ease. But instead of using a small tooth comb were going to use a Denman brush or a wig brush to de-tangle. Use clips to keep track of the sections separating de-tangled hair from non de-tangled hair. REMEMBER to start at the tip of the hair and work your way up to the root when brushing. Once you reach the top of the wig. Go over the entire head doing 4 large sections. The top of the head, back of the head and the two sides of your head. You should also do this starting from tip to root.

Hydration…

*It is important to keep All these textures moisturized. Dry hair looks rough and damaged but hydrated hair looks healthy and beautiful!

Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner

Depending On Your Curl Type Whether it Be The Loose Waves of Our Body Wave to Tight Curls in Our Kinky Curl.Hydrating Your Hair Is Very Important. Hydration keeps a unit lasting longer..feeling and looking better! I would recommend use a spray bottle to apply moisture to your hair at least once a day. Moisture being a high glycerin based product. I recommend this type of product because it doesn’t feel oily to the touch.

How To Wash Your Curls

Creme of Nature Shampoo Sulfate Free

You can de-tangle in smaller sections(recommeded) or larger sections if you prefer. But please note that if you have not de-tangled properly shedding and matting will occur. After your hair is brushed out you can now begin to wash! It is VITAL to your Lf’s hair that you use a Sodium Laureth Sulfate Free Shampoo! Shampoo’s that contain SLS will DRY OUT YOUR HAIR! SLS is used in alot of household cleaners and detergents. Around the house it is good get the oils off of counter surfaces but you should never want to strip hair of its own natural oils. If you feel that ur hair has alot of product buildup don’t resort to a harsh cleasner! Choose a Clarifying Shampoo or Do a ACV rinse (Apple Cidar Vingar) which is a cheaper option.Some women don’t like the smell so a clarifying shampoo works just as good. ACV rinses are based on a small part apple cidar vingar such as 1/4 a cup to a larger part 2 cups of water. ACV rinses are best done as the last step in your washing regime because they help lock in moisture. If done correctly your hair will feel very soft. You should condition before you do a ACV rinse. A conditioner rich in glycerin or “good” oils is best when deciding what kind of conditioner to get.

Deep Conditioners & Silicon Mix

Silicon Mix

My all time favorite deep conditioning treatment product.  Leaves hair butter-soft.

Deep conditioners & Silicon Mix are used after about 2 weeks after you receive your wig. They can be done once week depending on the type of results you would like your hair to have. Conditioners like this REVIVE the hair so should only be used when needed. Deep conditioners should contain the same ingredients as regular conditioners. Below is a descriptive list of what you want in a conditioner and what you don’t want. Silicon mix is a Dominican hair product famous for the way it silkens and softens the hair it is used in many Dominican salons. Like a deep conditioner it should only be used when needed and NOT everyday!

Glycerin

Glycerin is a humectant that retains moisture in hair and skin. I Love this product because it really works and has made a difference in even my own natural kinky hair. When using glycerin based products on your unit. These Products that contain glycerin also contain other commonly known moisturizing products.Coconut oil, soybean oil,Shea butter, and aloe vera. Being one of the first five ingredients listed in our conditioner. You can make a leave in conditioner by diluting this conditioner with water and storing in a spray bottle for easy everyday use. This everyday mix can be used on all our textures to maintain moisture in the hair. Since the hair is no longer on the donor’s head moisture is vital to keep this beautiful Remy hair healthy for months to come.

Can Oils Be used Instead Of Glycerin?

Yes! only certain oils such as Coconut oil, Olive oil, and Soybean oil…this is not all of the oils you can use but they are the most common “Good” oils. In saying good these common oils have beneficial uses. Coconut oil can be used in actually moisturizing the hair. Olive & SoyBean Oil is good for sealing in moisture in ones hair. Aloe Vera and Shea Butter are also good moisturizers.

Now for the “Bad” Bad Oils consist of Mineral Oil and Petroleum. These are often mistaken for Good oils because it looks as if the hair is healthy because of the shine given off using these products. But these type of oils just coat the hair and don’t benefit the hair in anyway. Petroleum is a common skin protectant used around your edges when getting a chemical relaxer aka a perm. If you have ever gotten a perm before and used this around your edges you will notice that you didn’t get burned. The petroleum jelly acted like a protection barrier between your skin and the chemicals around it. So applying this same concept because mineral oil and petroleum both act alike in blocking anything from penetrating your hair. If you use products rich in these ingredients vital moisturizing products will be blocked from enriching your hair. So to wrap it up your hair MIGHT feel good..soft and shiny. But underneath it will actually be DRY and BRITTLE.

I’ve taught you how to de-tangle and what products to use when moisturizing after this is done you can go on to Enhance and Define Your Curls!  You can do this defining with curl defining products readily available in stores.  My favorite is Marc Anthony Curl Defining Cream.  Experiment with different brands until you find the one that works for you.
