- A few drops of light oil or mist demeanor shine mist below the keratin bond. Reduce using excessively heavy oils or butters to prevent buildup. When product has build-up, it is time to shampoo.
Dry Shampoo
When you want to refresh the hair without shampooing. We recommend using Amika Perk-Up Plus Dry Shampoo to refresh and nourishes hair stands. This Dry shampoo absorbs oil, reduces order, and gives hair a freshly washed look without a trace of white residue, all while restoring "Oomph" back into the hair.

-Shampoo once with moisturizing shampoo
- Generously lather hair with conditioner using finger tips starting below the keratin bond to ends, finger detangle at the same time.
- Repeat, then twist the hair into a bun and let the conditioner sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly. Pat dry with a micro-fiber towel or t-shirt to avoid frizz.

Heat Styling Guidelines
Because this hair is 100% raw and cuticle-aligned, it can be flat-ironed, curled, or wand-styled — but it still deserves VIP treatment to preserve its texture and longevity.
Recommended Max Heat Settings:
-
Flat irons & curling tools: 330°F–370°F
-
Blow dryers (with diffuser): Medium heat only
-
Avoid going above 400°F, as prolonged high heat can alter the kinky blow-out texture over time.

-
Kendra Platinum Blow-Dry Spray – heat protectant + smoothing + shine
-
CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray – lightweight and effective
-
The Doux O.P.P -One pass press heat protectant
