Loving Your LYH Hair

Our 100% raw virgin bundles can last 3+ years with proper care. Follow this guide and your hair will stay soft, full, and luxurious wear after wear.

Quick reminder: raw virgin hair behaves just like your natural hair. The healthier you treat it, the longer it lasts. Avoid harsh shampoos, heavy oils, and excessive heat — that's the secret.


01 Washing

Wash your bundles every 1–2 weeks if installed, or every 4–6 wears for clip-ins. Over-washing strips the natural oils.

Step by Step

  • Start by gently detangling with a wide-tooth comb from ends to roots
  • Use lukewarm (not hot) water — heat opens the cuticle and causes shedding
  • Apply a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo with downward strokes — never scrub or pile hair on top of your head
  • Rinse thoroughly, then apply a moisturizing conditioner from mid-shaft to ends
  • Let conditioner sit for 5–10 minutes, rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle
⚠ Avoid

Sulfates, parabens, and protein-heavy products. They strip moisture and cause matting.


02 Conditioning & Deep Treatment

Hair extensions don't get the natural scalp oils your real hair does — so deep conditioning is non-negotiable.

Weekly Routine

  • Apply a deep conditioning mask once a week, focusing on mid-shaft to ends
  • Cover with a shower cap or warm towel for 20–30 minutes to let it penetrate
  • Rinse with cool water and air-dry when possible
  • For extra moisture, use a leave-in conditioner daily before styling
★ LYH Tip

Argan oil and jojoba oil are naturally similar to your scalp's sebum — a few drops on damp ends locks in moisture without buildup.


03 Drying

  • Air-dry whenever possible — it's the gentlest option
  • If you must blow-dry, use the cool or low-heat setting with a heat protectant
  • Pat (don't rub) with a microfiber towel or soft t-shirt
  • Never sleep on wet hair — wrap it in a silk scarf or bonnet first

04 Styling & Heat

Our raw virgin hair holds curls and straightens beautifully — just be smart with heat.

  • Always apply a heat protectant before any hot tool
  • Keep flat irons and curling wands at 300–350°F max (150–175°C)
  • Use ceramic or tourmaline tools — they distribute heat more evenly
  • Limit heat styling to 2–3 times per week to preserve longevity
  • Brush with a boar bristle or wide-tooth comb only — no rubber or plastic bristles
★ Pro Tip

For long-lasting curls, use flexi-rods or rollers overnight instead of daily heat. Your hair will thank you.


05 Nighttime Care

How you sleep determines how your hair looks the next morning — and how long your install lasts.

  • Always sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase — cotton causes friction and frizz
  • Wrap your hair in a silk scarf or bonnet before bed
  • For loose styles, gather hair in a loose braid or low pony — never tight
  • For wavy/curly textures, apply a light leave-in spray before wrapping

06 Storage Between Wears

Bundles that aren't currently installed need proper storage to stay luxurious.

  • Wash and air-dry completely before storing
  • Brush gently to remove tangles
  • Store in a silk or satin bag — never plastic (causes moisture buildup)
  • Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
  • Refresh every few months with a quick rinse and condition

07 What to Avoid

  • Chlorine pools & salt water — rinse with cool water immediately if exposed
  • Harsh dyes — our hair can be colored, but always have a professional do it
  • Excessive heat over 350°F
  • Sleeping on cotton without protection
  • Brushing wet hair with a fine-tooth comb
