Raw & Virgin Hair Care Tips: Keeping Your Bundles Beautiful

Your raw and virgin hair bundles are high-quality and deserve mindful care to maintain their natural luster and longevity. These simple but effective tips will help keep your bundles soft, tangle-free, and full of life—for months or even years.

1. Wash Gently, Not Frequently

  • When to wash: Wash your bundles every 1–2 weeks or as needed, depending on product buildup or styling.

  • How to wash: Use lukewarm water and a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo. Gently cleanse the hair in a downward motion—no scrubbing or circular motions to avoid tangling.

  • Rinse well to remove all product.

2. Condition with Care

  • Always follow up with a rich, silicone-free conditioner or deep conditioner.

  • Apply from mid-shaft to ends, using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle gently while the conditioner is in.

  • Rinse thoroughly, and if needed, do a deep conditioning treatment every few weeks.

3. Air Dry Whenever Possible

  • Pat the hair gently with a microfiber towel—never rub.

  • Allow the bundles to air dry on a hanger or mannequin head to help preserve the natural texture.

  • Avoid excessive blow drying, which can dry out and damage raw hair over time.

4. Use Minimal Heat

  • Raw hair can handle heat styling, but always use a heat protectant first.

  • Keep heat tools at moderate temperatures and avoid daily use.

  • When possible, opt for heatless styling methods like braids, flexi rods, or satin rollers.

5. Detangle Gently and Regularly

  • Use a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush to detangle—starting from the ends and working your way up.

  • Detangle before washing and after the hair is dry.

  • Be especially gentle with curly or wavy textures to avoid breakage or shedding.

6. Avoid Heavy Products

  • Lightweight leave-in conditioners, natural oils (like argan or jojoba), and serums are best.

  • Avoid greasy, alcohol-based, or heavy styling products that can cause buildup and dullness.

7. Night Care Matters

  • Before bed, braid or twist the hair loosely and wrap it in a silk or satin scarf or use a satin bonnet.

  • This helps reduce friction, frizz, and tangling while you sleep.

8. Proper Storage

  • When not in use, store your bundles in a silk bag, original packaging, or on a hanger.

  • Keep them away from direct sunlight, moisture, and dust.
