Luxury Hair Care Guide
Curly & Wavy Hair Care
Curly and wavy textures require moisture and gentle handling to maintain their shape and definition.
Styling
When styling curly or wavy hair, thoroughly wet the hair first. The hair should be fully damp or lightly drenched before applying products. This helps the curls form properly.
Use lightweight moisturizers, leave in conditioner, or mousse to help define the curls. Avoid heavy products, as they can weigh the hair down and reduce curl definition.
A denman brush or wide-tooth comb can help distribute product evenly and enhance the curl pattern. Also scrunching the curls with your hands at the bottom helps form a nice natural curl.
Detangling
Always keep curly hair detangled. When detangling, start from the ends of the hair and slowly work your way up to the roots to prevent breakage.
Washing
Curly hair should typically be washed every 2–3 weeks, depending on how often the hair is worn and styled.
Sleeping
To protect the curls and reduce friction:
• Sleep with a silk or satin bonnet or scarf
• Lightly twist or braid the hair before bed
• If wearing a wig, you can also place it on a wig stand overnight to prevent tangling
These steps help maintain the curl pattern and keep the hair smooth.
Straight Hair Care
Straight hair is generally lower maintenance but still benefits from proper care.
Styling
Straight hair typically does not require many styling products. Using too many heavy products can make the hair appear oily or weighed down. A light serum or lightweight oil can be applied occasionally to maintain shine and smoothness.
Heat Styling
If using hot tools such as flat irons or curling wands, always apply a heat protectant to protect the hair from heat damage.
Detangling
Detangle the hair gently using a wide-tooth comb or brush, starting from the ends and working upward toward the roots.
Washing
Straight hair should also be washed every 2–3 weeks or as needed depending on product buildup.
Wig Maintenance
Proper wig care helps maintain the longevity and quality of your unit.
Detangling
Always detangle wigs gently. Avoid pulling at the roots of the wig. Start from the ends of the hair and slowly work upward, while holding the root of the wig to reduce tension and prevent hair shedding.
Storage
When the wig is not being worn, store it properly by:
• placing it on a wig stand
• or storing it carefully in a satin or silk bag
This helps maintain the shape of the wig and prevents unnecessary tangling.
Normal Shedding
Some shedding is normal with human hair extensions and wigs. Proper detangling and gentle handling will help minimize excessive shedding.
Recommended Products
Using the right products can help maintain the softness, shine, and longevity of your hair.
We recommend using lightweight, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners when washing your extensions or wigs. Sulfate-free products help preserve moisture and prevent the hair from becoming dry or brittle.
For styling, choose lightweight moisturizers, mousse, or serum depending on the hair texture. Avoid heavy creams, gels, or oils that may weigh the hair down or cause product buildup.
Regular deep conditioning can also help restore moisture and keep the hair soft and manageable.
Hair Longevity
With proper care and maintenance, Extra Lavish Hair Co. hair can last for an extended period of time.
The lifespan of the hair depends on several factors, including how often the hair is worn, how it is styled, and how well it is maintained.
When properly cared for, many customers are able to enjoy their hair for multiple installs and long-term use.
Following the recommended care routine including gentle detangling, proper storage, regular washing, and minimal product buildup will help maintain the hair’s softness, shine, and longevity.
Colouring & Chemical Treatments
To maintain the quality and longevity of our hair, we recommend avoiding at-home coloring or chemical processing unless performed by a professional stylist.
Different hair types lift to different colour levels during the bleaching process. Virgin hair can typically lift up to color #27 when properly processed by a professional. Raw hair, on the other hand, can often lift much lighter and may reach #613 blonde depending on the hair and the coloring technique used.
Because colouring hair requires professional knowledge, proper techniques, and careful processing, improper bleaching or chemical treatments may damage the hair and shorten its lifespan.
For customers who prefer coloured hair, we recommend selecting from our Lavish Colour Studio collection, where wigs and bundles are professionally coloured and prepared to maintain the softness, shine, and integrity of the hair.
This allows you to enjoy beautifully coloured hair without the risk of damaging the hair through improper colouring methods.
