Raw Hair Guru: Extension Care and Styling Tips.

Preparing Your Bundles for Install (Pre-Wash & Conditioning):

Before installing your Raw Hair Guru bundles, it's crucial to prep them properly. Begin with a gentle pre-wash using a high-quality, sulfate-free shampoo. This removes any manufacturing residue and ensures your bundles are clean. Follow with a rich, sulfate-free conditioner to replenish moisture and enhance softness. This step sets the foundation for a flawless install and long-lasting wear.

Coloring Your Raw Hair Guru Extensions:

Yes, you can absolutely color your Raw Hair Guru Brazilian Collections! Our natural Brazilian hair responds beautifully to color. For our Blonde Dyed Brazilian Collection, the hair has been pre-lightened, making it easier to achieve your desired shade. However, we always recommend consulting a professional stylist experienced with raw hair extensions. They have the expertise to ensure the coloring process is done safely and effectively, maintaining the integrity of your investment.

General Care for Your Raw Hair Guru Extensions:

Maintaining the beauty and longevity of your Raw Hair Guru extensions is simple with the right care. Consistent shampooing and conditioning with sulfate-free products are essential. Opt for a creamy conditioner to deeply hydrate. Always use a heat protectant before applying any heat styling tools. To minimize tangling, breakage, and thinning, sleep on a satin pillowcase or wear a satin bonnet. This will help preserve moisture and keep your extensions looking their best.

Specific Care for Straight Textured Extensions:

Our Straight Raw Hair Guru extensions are wonderfully low-maintenance. To keep them sleek and prevent product buildup, use products sparingly. A light serum or leave-in conditioner is often sufficient. After washing, a quick pass with a flat iron will restore the smooth, polished appearance.

Specific Care for Body Wave Textured Extensions:

The Body Wave texture offers versatility and effortless style. To maintain its soft, bouncy waves, avoid heavy products. A light misting of water followed by a small amount of leave-in conditioner or mousse can enhance the wave pattern. While damp, use a wide-tooth comb to detangle, then scrunch the hair to encourage the waves. Allow it to air dry for best results. For more defined curls or waves, use flexi rods or a curling iron. To straighten, a flat iron with minimal product will achieve a smooth finish.

Specific Care for Deep Wave Textured Extensions:

Deep Wave extensions require a bit more attention to maintain their defined waves. Daily hydration is key. Mist your hair with water and gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb. Apply a creamy moisturizer, working it through your hair with your hands. Scrunch the hair while damp to enhance the wave pattern and allow it to air dry. To avoid frizz, focus on moisturizing and gentle handling. Remember to apply product to your palms first, then distribute it through the hair.

Specific Care for Curly and Kinky Curly Textured Extensions:

Our Curly and Kinky Curly textures thrive with moisture and gentle care. Daily hydration is essential. Mist your hair with water and apply a generous amount of creamy moisturizer to prevent dryness and frizz. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle while damp, and style as desired. These textures can handle more product without feeling weighed down. After styling, allow the hair to air dry. Once dry, you can finger-comb for added volume or use a brush for a fuller, afro-inspired look.

Straightening Deep Wave and Curly Textured Extensions:

Straightening Deep Wave and Curly textures results in a beautiful, coarser texture compared to Body Wave. Begin with a thorough wash and condition using a sulfate-free shampoo to remove any buildup. Ensure your natural hair underneath is completely dry. Divide your extensions into four sections for even heat distribution. Apply a light heat protectant. Use a blow dryer with a comb attachment followed by a padded brush to loosen the wave pattern. Then, using a ceramic flat iron, take small sections and slowly straighten from root to tip. Repeat as needed until you achieve a sleek, straight look. Style as desired.
