Let’s show love in every strand.
Whether your mom is brand new to luxury hair extensions or she’s been rocking sew-ins and styles for years, learning how to properly care for her hair can be a game-changer. And here’s the truth: even the most fabulous moms might not know the best ways to maintain 100% raw human hair extensions. That’s where you come in. Sharing these tips with her—whether in person or tucked into a beautifully wrapped gift bag—is a small but meaningful way to say, “I see you. I appreciate you. And you deserve to feel beautiful, too.”
Moms spend so much of their lives making sure everyone else is taken care of.

This Self-care Sunday, we’re breaking down the ultimate care guide for Yummy’s luxurious, long-lasting extensions—customized for straight, wavy, and curly textures. With a little love, the right routine, and your support, your mom can enjoy stunning, soft hair that mirrors the beauty she radiates from within.
How to Help Mom Care for Her Yummy Extensions
What Makes Raw Hair Special?
All Yummy textures are crafted from 100% raw, unprocessed human hair—meaning there are no chemical coatings, synthetic fibers, or factory shortcuts.
But because raw hair behaves just like natural hair, it needs thoughtful care. With proper maintenance, our extensions can last 3–5 years or more—making them a beautiful investment in your mom’s confidence.
Universal Raw Hair Care Tips for Moms
Whether she’s wearing straight bundles or bold curls, these tips apply to every texture:
- Detangle gently before washing. Start from the ends and work your way up using a Denman brush.
- Cleanse weekly with sulfate-free products. This keeps the hair soft and buildup-free.
- Refresh with water + conditioner. Instead of applying thick leave-ins, spritz hair with a diluted mix to restore moisture without heaviness.
- Minimize heat. Always use a heat protectant if flat ironing or curling.
- Store safely. Use the Yummy Hair Hanger to keep extensions neat and ready for their next install.
Now let’s get into care by texture—so Mom can keep her favorite Yummy look fresh and flawless.
Straight Hair Extensions: Sleek, Polished & Timeless
Perfect for: Minimalist moms, professionals, silk press lovers
Best Textures:
Straight textures are ideal for mothers who love a polished, low-frizz style. Whether worn bone straight or lightly curled, this texture is easy to maintain with the right techniques.
How to Care:
- Wrap it nightly. Use a silk scarf or bonnet to prevent friction and keep strands smooth.
- Use minimal product. A light oil or serum on the ends adds shine without weighing the hair down.
- Avoid over-flat ironing. Stick to heat styling once or twice a week, max.
- Wash weekly. Stick with sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner for softness and shine.
Wavy Hair Extensions: Effortless Glam & Volume
Perfect for: Soft blowout lovers, low-maintenance glam, beachy vibes
Best Textures:
Wavy textures provide soft body and movement without needing daily styling—making them great for busy moms who still want to look put-together.
How to Care:
- Refresh daily with a water + conditioner spray. This reactivates the wave pattern and eliminates frizz.
- Avoid dry brushing. Detangle only when damp, using a Denman brush or wide-tooth comb.
- Diffuse instead of air-drying. The KOSA Blow Dryer with Diffuser attachment helps maintain wave shape and volume.
- Seal in hydration. Apply a small amount of lightweight oil to the ends.
Yummy Self-Care Tip: Encourage Mom to blow-dry her waves before bed with a diffuser—it cuts drying time and makes mornings stress-free.
Curly Hair Extensions: Bold, Beautiful & Natural-Looking
Perfect for: Curl queens, volume lovers, glam moms
Best Textures:
Curly textures are a favorite for good reason—they deliver volume, bounce, and beauty. But they do require consistent moisture and care to stay soft and defined.
How to Care:
- Mist with water + conditioner daily. This hydrates curls and revives the pattern without buildup.
- Detangle only when wet. Use your fingers or a Denman brush, starting at the ends.
- Dry with a diffuser. The KOSA Blow Dryer helps enhance curls while reducing frizz.
- Protect at night. Pineapple curls under a silk bonnet or use a satin pillowcase.
Yummy Self-Care Tip: If Mom wants bold curls with minimal work, gift her the Burma Curly Drawstring Ponytail—fluff, attach, and go!
Extra Credit: Nighttime Care is Self-Care
Caring for extensions while sleeping is just as important as the daytime routine. Here’s how to make sure Mom’s style lasts:
- Straight or Wavy Hair: Wrap hair in a silk scarf or braid it loosely.
- Curly Hair: Use a pineapple method or silk bonnet to keep curls defined.
- All Textures: Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and retain moisture.
Beautiful Hair is the Best Gift
Whether you’re giving Mom bundles of Raw Cambodian Natural Straight, a set of Raw LAO Wavy Tape-Ins, or a Burma Curly Ponytail, giving her the tools to care for her hair is a powerful form of self-care. And that’s exactly what she deserves.
Luxury hair extensions aren’t just about looking good—they’re about feeling good. They’re about self-expression, convenience, and confidence. This Mother’s Day, help Mom protect her crown with these thoughtful care tips so her style lasts, her hair stays healthy, and she always feels as radiant as she looks.
