The Ultimate Valentine’s Day Hair Survival Guide

Prepping Your Hair for Long-Lasting Style

Before stepping out the door, taking the time to prep your hair will help your style last all night long. Whether you’re wearing Raw Cambodian Natural Wave extensions for effortless waves or rocking our Burma curly coils, these pre-date steps will ensure your hair stays polished and stunning.

1. Start with a Clean Foundation

Freshly washed hair holds styles better and prevents product buildup that can weigh down your extensions.

  • Use a lightweight, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain the bounce, volume, and shine of your human hair extensions without stripping moisture.

  • Avoid overloading your hair with heavy oils or leave-ins, which can cause limp curls or excess buildup.

2. Apply Heat Protectant Before Styling

Whether you're creating voluminous waves with Raw Lao Wavy Extensions or going sleek and straight with our Cambodian Natural Straight extensions, applying a heat protectant is a must.

  • This prevents heat damage, frizz, and dryness, ensuring your raw hair extensions stay smooth and polished.

  • For extra longevity, use a titanium curling iron for well-defined curls that last.

3. Style with Hold in Mind

To make sure your hairstyle lasts through dinner, dancing, and late-night selfies, set your curls or sleek styles properly.

  • For a sleek, straight style, apply a light smoothing serum to tame flyaways without weighing down your premium hair extensions.

  • For long-lasting curls, let them cool completely in their shape before brushing them out.

4. Lock in Your Style with the Right Products

Using the right amount of styling products can make all the difference in maintaining your hair extensions.

  • A light-hold hairspray or styling mousse will secure your look without creating stiffness or product buildup.

5. Protect Your Style Before Heading Out

If you’re getting ready early, protect your style until it’s time to leave.

  • Wrap your hair in a silk or satin bonnet to keep it smooth and prevent frizz.

  • Keep extra bobby pins in your purse for quick touch-ups on the go.

Valentine’s Night Purse Essentials for Flawless Hair

Once your hair is prepped, keep these essentials in your purse to maintain your glamorous, effortless style all night.

1. Denman Brush or Yummy Wavy Hair Brush

  • If you’re wearing curly hair extensions like Raw Burma Curly or Raw Cambodian Curly Wave, pack a Denman brush to keep your curls defined and bouncy.

  • If you’re rocking loose waves or natural wave textures, the Yummy Wavy Hair Brush is perfect for detangling and refreshing your waves without causing frizz.

2. Travel-Sized Hair Spray

  • A mini, lightweight hairspray locks in your style without making your hair feel stiff.

  • Spritz a small amount on your Raw Cambodian Wavy Elegance Extensions to keep your waves in place.

3. Anti-Frizz Serum or Hair Oil

  • A tiny drop of lightweight oil or anti-frizz serum adds shine and hydration to your Virgin Hair Extensions throughout the night.

  • Apply only to the mid-lengths and ends to avoid a greasy scalp.

4. Bobby Pins & Hair Ties

  • Keep a few bobby pins and hair ties handy in case you need to secure flyaways or switch up your look.

  • Perfect for transforming your Loose Curl Extensions into a chic low ponytail by the end of the night.

5. Satin Scrunchie

  • If your hair needs a break, a satin scrunchie allows you to tie it back without creasing or damaging your Luxury Hair Extensions.

6. Blotting Papers or Dry Shampoo

  • Use blotting papers to absorb excess oil around your hairline.

  • A spritz of dry shampoo keeps your Clip-In Hair Extensions fresh and voluminous.

7. Edge Brush & Edge Control Gel

  • Keep your edges sleek with a travel-sized edge control gel and a small edge brush.

  • Especially useful when wearing Lace Closures and Lace Frontals.
