What does 'Cuticle Aligned Hair' mean?'Cuticle Aligned Hair' refers to hair where the cuticles are intact and aligned in the same direction. This ensures the hair remains smooth, shiny, and tangle-free. Virgin or Remy Pure hair must have the cuticle layer intact to maintain its quality.

Is it okay to cut wefts/tracks when installing hair?We generally do not recommend cutting or tampering with wefts/tracks. However, if you need to cut or alter them, we suggest sealing the ends with glue to minimize shedding.
-
Can I color or dye the hair extensions?Yes, you can color or dye our virgin/raw hair extensions. Since 100% virgin hair has never been chemically treated, it handles the coloring process well. However, once you color or process the hair, it will no longer be considered virgin. We recommend consulting a professional for coloring. Note: Each bundle of virgin Indian hair comes from a different donor, so always test a small strand first. Avoid bleaching or dyeing too close to the track area to prevent shedding issues.
-
Can the hair be Straightened or curled or styled ?YES, this is 100% Human Hair, so you can style it to achieve your desired look. Please do not keep your styling tool s in highest heat settings. NOTE: Too much heat over the time affects natural hair textures and leaves it looking dull.
-
Will the hair wave up again after we straighten ?Yes it will, but the more you straighten the hair the more you will lose the pattern. It is important to remember that the hair is no longer receiving any nourishment, so if you continuously straighten you will relax the pattern just like you would with your own hair.
