Soft texture & natural movement
Beautiful curl/wave definition

How to Care for Raw Hair (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Detangle Before Washing

Always detangle gently before wetting the hair.

How to Detangle Correctly

Start from the ends, work upward
Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush
Detangle in sections
Never rip through knots or pull aggressively

2. Wash Every 1–2 Weeks — Gently

Use a sulfate-free shampoo to retain hydration and softness.

Washing Steps

  1. Rinse with lukewarm water

  2. Apply shampoo and smooth downward

  3. Rinse thoroughly — no harsh scrubbing

  4. Repeat if needed for buildup

3. Deep Condition Every Wash

Raw hair thrives when moisturized.

Conditioning Tips

Apply from mid-shaft to ends
Leave on 10–20 minutes
Rinse with cool water to seal cuticles

This keeps curls defined, waves juicy, and straight hair silky.


4. Air-Dry for Best Results

Avoid blow-drying unless necessary.

Why

Heat weakens hair fibers over time, reducing lifespan.

Pro Tip

Place bundles on a hanger or stand for natural drying.


5. Use Lightweight Products Only

Raw hair is healthy and does not need heavy oils.

Recommended

Anti-frizz serum
Lightweight leave-in conditioner
Tiny amount of argan/grapeseed oil

Avoid

Shea butter
Coconut oil
Petroleum hair grease
Thick heavy creams
Alcohol-heavy sprays


6. Protect at Night — SILK ONLY

Night friction is one of the biggest causes of tangling and breakage in both natural and raw hair.
To preserve softness, moisture & longevity, always protect your hair with pure silk, not satin.
