How to Care for Your Raw Hair Extensions
At Halo Luxe Hair Co, we source only 100% raw, unprocessed hair so your extensions can last for years with the right care. Follow these tips to keep your bundles looking luxurious.
Washing
- Wash your extensions every 1–2 weeks or as needed.
- Use a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
- Gently detangle before washing — never scrub or rub aggressively.
- Wash in a downward motion to prevent tangling.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water.
Detangling
- Always detangle from the ends up to the roots using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers.
- Detangle while the hair is damp and conditioned for best results.
- Never detangle dry hair — this can cause shedding and breakage.
Drying
- Gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel — never wring or twist.
- Air dry when possible to preserve the hair's natural texture.
- If using a blow dryer, use a heat protectant and low heat setting.
Heat Styling
- Always apply a heat protectant before using any heat tools.
- Keep flat irons and curling wands at or below 350°F.
- Limit heat styling to maintain the longevity of your extensions.
Storing
- Store your bundles in a silk or satin bag when not in use.
- Keep extensions in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid storing in tight spaces that can cause tangling or matting.
Nighttime Routine
- Braid or loosely twist your extensions before bed.
- Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and frizz.
- Wrap your hair in a silk scarf or bonnet for added protection.
General Tips
- Avoid excessive exposure to chlorine, saltwater, and harsh chemicals.
- Deep condition your extensions monthly to maintain moisture and shine.
- The better you care for your raw hair, the longer it will last — with proper care, your bundles can last 2–3+ years.
