How to Care for Your Virgin Hair Bundles: Tips and Tricks

Do you know how particular you are about your hair?

It would help if you had the same energy for your hair extensions. This is not to say that you should move your bundles in the name of propylene care for them; there is a technique to it. We call it tender loving care.

It is your way of maintaining your bundles so that they last until you are finally ready to move on from them.

Virgin Hair Bundles require a little more maintenance than the routine.

Virgin hair is essentially hair that has never been chemically processed or dyed. It gives you a natural look and can last long with proper care, especially the virgin hair bundles you get from Private Label.

That being said, Virgin hair bundles are a luxurious investment, and like any precious asset, they require proper care to maintain their beauty and longevity.

Virgin hair is unprocessed, retaining its natural state, which makes it more delicate and susceptible to damage if not handled correctly. Here are some comprehensive tips and tricks to ensure your virgin hair bundles remain pristine.

Tip 1: Use the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

Just as you would be selective with the products you use on your natural hair, the same care should be applied to your virgin hair bundles.

They are like your hair because natural hair is donated and packaged adequately from the factory. One thing you should never do is use just any shampoo for your virgin hair bundles. Always check the package to see that they are sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners.

The primary reason is that sulfates can strip the hair of natural oils and cause dryness and brittleness. Over time, the bundle starts to shed, and you have lost good hair before you know it.

During your washes, use a handful of conditioner or shampoo to cleanse the hair without overloading it with products, which can cause product buildup and diminish its natural luster. In fact, for an even gentler approach, you should try co-washing.

Co-washing hair extensions means you use only conditioner. to cleanse your bundles. Also, before you install virgin hair bundles, we recommend soaking them in warm water and apple cider vinegar.

This helps remove any odors and residue from the packaging and ensures your hair is fresh and clean before the first use. However, Private Label helps you with this step as we only ship fresh virgin hair bundles.

Tip 2: Detangle Before Washing

Remember that one time you took out your protective style and hopped in the shower immediately without detangling? Yes, it was an unpleasant thing having to brush your hair afterward.

So, to avoid that stress with your sensitive virgin hair bundle, detangle before you wash. You are detangling your hair bundles before washing prevents tangling and matting during the washing process. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently detangle the hair, starting from the tips and working your way up to the roots.

This pre-wash detangling step significantly improves the hair’s smoothness. Also, when washing the hair, avoid swirling it around in the water, which can lead to tangling.

Instead, let the hair soak and cleanse itself naturally in the water. After washing, rinse the hair thoroughly and lay it flat on a towel or a T-shirt to air dry overnight.

Tip 3: Condition Thoroughly

Deep conditioning is crucial in maintaining the softness and elasticity of your virgin hair bundles. After washing, apply a generous amount of conditioner and let it sit for a while.

This deep conditioning treatment will nourish the hair and make it easier to style.

This step is crucial for curly hair textures like the Brazilian Deep Wave Bundle.

Use your fingers to detangle while the conditioner is still in the hair for Kinky Curly Hair Bundle textures. This minimizes weave shedding and breakage.

For Silky Straight Hair Bundle textures, you can use a wide-tooth comb.

Always rinse the conditioner out with warm to cold water, as hot water can cause tangling and damage to unprocessed hair.

Tip 4: Avoid Hot Water

They burn, literally. Hot water can harm virgin hair bundles. It makes them tangle and lose their natural pattern.

When virgin hair is made, warm water is often used to make the cuticles more flexible–not hot water.

So, always use warm to cold water when washing your hair. This helps to maintain the integrity and longevity of the hair. When you are ready to wash your hair, use a suitable place, such as a large plastic bowl, sink, or bathtub.

Ensure the washing area is clean and free from dirt or chemicals that could damage the hair.

Tip 5: Apply Leave-In Conditioner or Natural Oil

Once your hair is clean, apply a leave-in conditioner or a light natural oil like argan oil. These products help to lock in moisture, add shine, and maintain the hair’s softness.

Be mindful not to overapply products, as this can weigh the hair down and require more frequent washing, leading to dryness and brittleness.

Argan oil is particularly beneficial because it is lightweight and doesn’t leave a greasy residue. It helps keep the hair healthy and shiny without making it heavy as same as our Hair Growth Serum!

Tip 6: Use a Wide-Tooth Comb

A wide-tooth comb is the best friend you can have with virgin hair. Once you have done your washing routine and dried the hair, you should comb through it with a wide-tooth comb.

This comb is gentle on the hair and helps prevent breakage. Start combing from the bottom and work your way up to the top. This method removes any tangles without putting too much stress on the hair.

Do You Want to Learn Some Tricks?

Aside from these tips to care for your hair, there are some tricks to keep your virgin hair bundles at their peak. Here are some;

Protection: If you are sleeping with virgin bundles on (I do not recommend this), Use a satin or silk pillowcase, as these materials cause less friction than cotton.

Alternatively, wrap your hair in a satin or silk scarf or wear a silk bonnet. This helps keep the hair smooth and reduces the chances of frizz and tangles.

Storage: Store your virgin hair bundles properly to maintain their quality when not in use. First, make sure the hair is clean and completely dry before storing. Then, place the hair in a satin or silk bag or a ziplock bag with the air squeezed out. You should also store the hair in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

Trimming: Try to get the ends of your virgin hair bundles every 6-8 weeks to prevent split ends and keep the hair looking healthy. A professional can assist you if you need help doing it. Also, periodically check for product buildup. They can weigh the hair down and make it look not very interesting. If you notice a buildup, gently clarify the hair with shampoo.
