Hair Care Guide
At Hair Royal Majesty (HRM), we take pride in providing the finest luxury 100% raw hair extensions. Raw hair is an investment, and with the right care, it can last 5 -7 years or longer while maintaining its natural beauty and quality. Follow our expert care guide to ensure your hair remains soft, tangle-free, and luxurious.
1. General Maintenance
Daily Care Routine
• Gently detangle your hair using a wide-tooth comb or a paddle brush, starting from the ends and working your way up to avoid breakage.
• Apply a light serum or argan oil to keep hair moisturised and frizz-free. Avoid heavy oils or greasy products as they can cause build-up.
• If using heat styling tools, always apply a heat protectant to prevent damage.
Night-Time Care
• Always wrap your hair in a silk or satin bonnet or use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent tangling.
• If wearing a wig or sew-in, depending on style, loosely braid, twist, wrap the hair before bed to maintain its texture.
2. Washing & Conditioning
Raw hair behaves just like your natural hair, meaning it requires regular cleansing to remove product build-up and maintain softness.
How Often Should I Wash My Hair?
• If worn daily, wash your raw hair every 1-2 weeks to prevent product build-up.
• If using heavy styling products or experiencing dryness, co-wash (conditioner only) once a week for added moisture.
Step-by-Step Wash Routine
1. Pre-Wash Detangle
Before washing, gently detangle the hair while dry using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to remove knots.
2. Shampoo
• Use a sulphate-free, moisturising shampoo to cleanse the hair without stripping its natural oils.
• Apply shampoo in a downward motion to prevent tangling. Do not rub or twist the hair.
• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
3. Deep Conditioning
• Apply a generous amount of silicone-free deep conditioner from mid-lengths to ends.
• For best results, leave the conditioner on for 15-30 minutes with a plastic cap to allow deeper penetration.
• Rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle and enhance shine.
4. Drying
• Gently pat hair dry with a microfibre towel. Do not rub the hair as this can cause frizz.
• Allow hair to air-dry whenever possible to maintain its natural texture. If using a blow dryer, always use a low heat setting.
3. Styling & Heat Usage
• Limit heat styling to prevent damage. When using straighteners, curling wands, or blow dryers, always use a heat protectant.
• Avoid excessive product build up. Lightweight serums or oils work best for shine and hydration.
• When using styling gels or mousses, opt for alcohol-free products to prevent dryness.
Can I Use Heat on Raw Hair?
Yes! Raw hair holds heat styles beautifully, but excessive heat can weaken the hair over time. Always use a protectant and avoid temperatures above 230°C (450°F) to prevent dryness and breakage.
4. Caring for Lace Closures, Lace Frontals & Wigs
Lace Closures & Lace Frontals
• Always handle lace gently to avoid rips and tears.
• When washing, avoid scrubbing the lace-instead, gently rub shampoo through the hair and rinse carefully.
• Avoid excessive product build-up on the lace, as this can weaken the knots and cause shedding.
• Always remove glue, gel, or adhesives carefully with an oil-based remover to prevent lace damage.
Wigs (Closure & Frontal Wigs)
• Store your wig on a wig stand or mannequin head to maintain its shape and prevent tangling.
• Avoid excessive plucking of the hairline, as this can lead to premature thinning of the lace.
• If wearing your wig daily, wash it every 2-3 weeks to keep it fresh and free from build-up.
• If applying adhesive, ensure your scalp and wig lace are clean before installation.
5. Dyeing & Colouring Your Raw Hair
Our raw hair can be dyed, bleached, and toned, just like natural hair. However, once raw hair has been chemically processed in any way, it is no longer in its original raw state. This means additional care is required to maintain its strength and longevity.
Important Notes Before Dyeing:
• Always perform a strand test before full application to check how the hair reacts to bleach or dye.
• Use professional-grade dye and bleach to avoid excessive damage.
• Seek a professional colourist for best results, especially when bleaching to blonde or lighter tones.
• Raw hair can be lifted to 613 blonde, but bleaching weakens the cuticle - deep conditioning is essential after any chemical treatment.
How to Care for Dyed or Bleached Hair:
1. Use Colour-Safe Products - Invest in a sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner to maintain vibrancy and moisture.
2. Deep Condition Regularly - Chemically processed hair needs extra hydration. Use a deep conditioner once a week.
3. Minimise Heat Usage - Dyed or bleached hair is more prone to dryness, so avoid excessive heat styling. Always use a heat protectant.
4. Avoid Over washing - Washing too often can strip colour and moisture. Stick to once a week at maximum or as needed.
5. Use a Leave-In Treatment - A lightweight leave-in conditioner or serum helps to maintain softness and shine.
6. Storing Your Hair
Proper storage extends the lifespan of your raw hair.
• Bundles: Store in a silk or satin bag to prevent tangling.
• Wigs: Keep on a wig stand or mannequin to maintain shape.
• Closures & Frontals: Store flat or on a mannequin to prevent bending or creasing of the lace.
7. Final Tips for Long-Lasting Hair
• Treat your raw hair as you would your own natural hair - it requires love and care.
• Avoid using heavy oils and excessive product build-up, as this can weigh the hair down.
• Moisturise and protect your hair to maintain its natural softness and shine.
• Follow a consistent care routine - the better you maintain your raw hair, the longer it will last!
