Instructions
Daily Hydration:
Extensions don’t receive natural hydration from your scalp oils the way your own hair does. The Kinky Straight texture is naturally more prone to dryness at the ends than smoother textures, which makes consistent hydration especially important. Apply a light leave-in moisturizer or a few drops of oil — argan, jojoba, or a lightweight serum — to the mid-lengths and ends every evening. A little goes a long way: you’re hydrating the hair, not saturating it. This single step is the most impactful thing you can do to prevent frizz, reduce tangling, and extend the lifespan of your wefts.
Detangling:
Gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb from ends to roots before washing and before bed. Never brush Kinky Straight hair when dry — detangle when the hair is damp or has a light leave-in applied. This texture has more natural movement and grip than Light Yaki, which means it can tangle more easily at the nape and around the part line. Consistent, gentle detangling is what prevents matting and keeps the blowout pattern looking clean.
Wash Day:
Wash every 7–10 days using a sulfate-free shampoo. Use lukewarm water and wash in a downward motion from weft to ends — never scrub or bunch the hair. The Kinky Straight texture can accumulate product buildup faster than smoother textures, so a clarifying wash every third or fourth cycle helps keep the hair light, bouncy, and defined. Follow with a moisturizing conditioner. Let it sit for 3–5 minutes, then rinse with cool water. Air dry whenever possible to maintain the natural blowout pattern. If using a blow dryer, use a low-heat setting with a concentrator nozzle and dry in the direction of the hair’s natural texture. Avoid high heat near the weft. The Kinky Straight pattern will return to its natural state after air drying — this is by design.
Styling:
Safe up to 450°F for blending, not daily styling. The Kinky Straight texture is designed to match a blowout finish as-is — you shouldn’t need to restyle it after every wash.
The Kinky Straight texture can be flat-ironed to a silk press finish whenever you want a sleeker look — the heat goes on the extensions, not your natural hair. The blowout pattern will return after washing and air drying. Repeated flat-ironing between washes is safe but may gradually soften the texture’s natural volume over time; a wash-and-air-dry cycle will restore it.
Use the heatless curls method with pin curls or flexi rods set overnight for easy, long-lasting curl styles.
Night Routine:
Wrap in a silk or satin scarf or bonnet every night. For Kinky Straight texture, a loose braid or twist before wrapping can help prevent tangling overnight, since this texture has more natural grip than Light Yaki. This prevents friction, reduces tangling, and helps the blowout pattern hold its shape between washes.
Coloring:
This hair is 100% virgin and unprocessed, which means it accepts color beautifully. The cuticle is fully intact and has never been chemically treated — giving your colorist a clean canvas to work with.
We recommend having all color work done by a professional colorist experienced with virgin human hair extensions.
Darkening to jet black. The hair ships in 1B Natural Black. If you prefer a true jet black (1), a professional can apply a semi-permanent or demi-permanent color deposit. This is a low-risk process that doesn’t require developer or bleach and won’t alter the texture or integrity of the hair. One session is typically all it takes.
Lightening and bleaching. Because this hair is virgin, it can be lightened significantly — we recommend lightening no further than a #27 honey blonde for the best results while maintaining the hair’s texture, strength, and integrity. The safest approach is to lift no more than 2–3 shades in one session; if a greater lift is needed, your colorist can lighten gradually over multiple sessions while conditioning in between. Going beyond #27 is not recommended, as aggressive lightening can compromise the hair’s structure and is difficult to reverse. Bleaching should always be handled by a professional colorist experienced with virgin human hair.
Before coloring: Always ask your colorist to perform a strand test on a small section first. This confirms how the hair responds to lightener and helps your colorist dial in the timing and formula before committing to the full set.
During the process: A bond-protecting treatment applied during the lightening process will help maintain the hair’s structural integrity. Your colorist will select the appropriate developer volume and technique based on your target shade.
After coloring: Lightened hair needs more moisture. Follow up with a deep conditioning treatment immediately after processing, and increase your regular conditioning frequency going forward. Expect the texture to soften slightly after bleaching — this is normal for virgin hair and doesn’t indicate damage if the process was done correctly.
Important: Colored hair cannot be returned. Once the hair has been colored, dyed, or chemically treated in any way, it is no longer eligible for our 30-day return policy. We recommend coloring only after you’ve confirmed the length, weight, and texture are right for you.
Takedown & Reinstallation:
We recommend uninstalling your wefts every 4–6 weeks. Once removed, give the hair a deep cleanse and a thorough deep conditioning treatment before reinstalling. This allows the wefts to reset — removing product buildup, restoring moisture, and maintaining the Kinky Straight pattern’s natural definition. Extensions worn continuously beyond this window experience significantly faster wear, which shortens their overall lifespan.
Longevity:
With proper care — including regular takedowns, daily hydration, consistent detangling, and gentle handling — Blowout Wefts typically support 12+ months of wear across multiple installs. Treat them like your own hair and they’ll perform like it.
