Care & Styling Eurasian Hair

Eurasian hair is not a high maintenance hair extension. But it’s still important to take care of it. Washing and co-washing, as well as using a moisturizing oil, are the best ways to care for your hair. Use shampoos that don’t contain sulfates.

Treat your Eurasian hair extension as your own hair. Avoid applying excessive heat to your hair. Using hot tools too often can dry your hair, making it difficult for it to hold the style.

Be sure to use a good quality shampoo and conditioner, to keep your hair soft and manageable.

Be sure to seal the wefts when installing the hair. This will prevent tangling and shedding.

Using gels and spray will help keep the curls intact. But to prevent buildup, don’t leave these in your hair for too long.

Don’t brush the hair when it’s wet because hair follicles are at their most vulnerable when wet.

Moisturizing with a little almond oil every week, is a good practice. Do this when the hair is wet, to make it easier for the oils to penetrate the cuticles.

Eurasian virgin hair might not be the most well known when it comes to hair extensions, but things are changing, as more and more women discover its unique qualities and value for price when compared to other virgin hair extensions.
