Frequently asked questions

HAIR TEXTURES

1. Q: What’s the differences between Brazilian virgin hair, Peruvian virgin hair, Malaysian virgin hair and Indian virgin hair?

A: The differences are more apparent in the hair’s reaction to water, heat or air drying. For longer lasting curls on any of the hair, it is recommend to roller set hair with a hair setting lotion.

Malaysian Hair – Malaysian hair at first can appear excessively shiny but after the first 2-3 washes the shine lessens considerably to take on a more natural appearance. Curls will not loosen or drop with time but maintain their form for the entire day. No product isrequired to maintain the curl. Malaysian hair is also softer and silkier in texture than Indian hair.

Indian hair tends to dry into a beautiful wave which ranges from a slight wave to very wavy, although it straightens and curls very easily.

Brazilian Hair is silkier and shinier in texture than Indian Hair. The Straight textures are not bone straight but tends to curly beautifully at the end. This hair holds curls very well and tends to hold curls longer than Indian Hair.

Peruvian Hair is a little coarser and thicker in texture than Indian and Brazilian hair. It blends well with normal African-American relaxed hair textures and medium Caucasian hair textures.The curly texture becomes more curly when wet or washed.

 

2. Q. How long does it last?

A: This hair can last for a very long time under good care. Treat it like your own hair and take very good care of it, then it will last much longer.

CARE AND USAGE

1. Q: Can they be straightened, curled?

A: Treat the hair as if it is your own. Use a flat iron/straighter or tongs even when fitted, but as with your own hair, never use hot tools too often as you could dry the hair and it will not last as long.

 

2. Q: Can I dye colour the hair?

A: yes. The hair can be coloured. As a general rule it is easier to darken the hair than to lighter the hair. We highly recommend having your hairdresser dye the extensions as you will get the results you want, colouring them yourself always poses a high risk of not coming out the shade you want. If you can not get to a salon, always use a good quality hair dye and test a small sample first.

4. Q: How many pieces Hair for one head?

A: Normally 3packs and closure are enough for a full head, at most 5packs. You can always use the leftover hair later. If you are using hair over 18″ long you might need another pack.

 

5. Q, What type of hair care products should I use?

A : Treat this hair just as if it was your own hair. Use good quality shampoo and conditioning products. 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.
