Hair Care Guide
Preserve the Purity. Elevate the Experience.
At Pure Hair Source, we pride ourselves on delivering ethically sourced, 100% human hair — hand-selected for unmatched softness, longevity, and natural finish. To maintain that premium quality and ensure your investment lasts, proper care is essential.
Follow our expert care tips below for the best results across all hair types we offer.
1. Pre-Installation Care
Start With Purity. Set the Standard.
Before your first install, it’s essential to awaken and prepare your Pure Hair to ensure it performs at its highest potential. Proper pre-installation care not only protects the integrity of each strand but also ensures your finished style reflects the elevated quality Pure Hair is known for.
Step-by-Step Pre-Installation Ritual:
Co-Wash for Hydration & Revival:
Gently co-wash the hair using a sulfate-free, moisturizing conditioner. This removes any packaging residue and rehydrates the strands after transit, restoring their natural softness and luster.
Air-Dry with Care:
After rinsing, gently squeeze out excess water and place the hair on a hanger, mannequin head, or towel to air dry. Avoid blow-drying — especially for curly or raw textures — to preserve bounce and definition.
Finger-Detangle and Inspect:
Once dry, run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through the hair, starting from the ends upward. Check the wefts or bundles for alignment, and separate the strands gently to restore body and flow.
Minimal Handling, Maximum Respect:
Our Pure Hair is curated in its natural state — raw, unprocessed, and full of life. Avoid over-manipulating it before installation to maintain its strength and longevity.
Coloring or Bleaching? Leave it to the Experts:
Our hair accepts color beautifully, but we strongly recommend any chemical processing be performed by a professional. Always perform a strand test before full coloring or bleaching to assess how the hair reacts, especially with raw textures.
Professional Preparation Pays Off:
If you’re a stylist, this step is your canvas. If you're wearing it yourself, trust a professional to install the hair with techniques that respect the cuticle alignment, weft structure, and natural movement of each bundle or unit.
2. Installation Tips
Proper installation is key to comfort, longevity, and natural results.
Proper installation ensures your Pure Hair maintains its longevity, texture, and luxurious appearance throughout its life cycle.
Best Practices for Flawless Application:
Avoid Cutting the Wefts
To maintain the integrity of the wefts and reduce shedding, avoid cutting them during installation. Instead, fold and sew the wefts where possible. If a cut is necessary, always seal the ends with a quality weft sealer.
Use a Minimalist Approach
More isn’t always better. Use only the number of bundles or pieces required to achieve the desired volume. Overloading can cause tension on the scalp and unnecessary wear on the hair.
Mindful Stitching and Anchoring
Ensure stitching is secure but not overly tight. This prevents damage to both the weft and the client’s natural hair. Respect the craftsmanship of our wefts — they are constructed to last with the right technique.
Lace Frontals & Closures: Handle with Elegance
For closures and frontals, accurate placement is key. Avoid over-bleaching knots or aggressively plucking the hairline, which can weaken the lace. Gently secure with minimal adhesive, and clean thoroughly after each removal to maintain lace strength.
Heat Styling During Install? Less Is More
Limit flat-ironing or curling during installation. If styling is required, use heat protectant and low to medium temperatures. Preserve the hair’s natural texture for a more authentic and luxurious finish.
Seek Professional Touch
For clients, we strongly recommend having your Pure Hair installed by a licensed stylist with experience in handling luxury extensions and raw textures. For stylists, this is where your artistry meets our premium quality — a perfect match.
3. General Maintenance
Sustain the Purity. Celebrate the Longevity.
Your Pure Hair deserves care that matches its exceptional quality. With consistent, thoughtful maintenance, our hair can retain its softness, natural luster, and luxurious feel for months—and in many cases, even years. Below is a comprehensive guide divided by care category to help you (or your stylist) preserve your investment with confidence.
🌿 Daily Care
Detangle Gently:
Start your day by detangling the hair with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. Always begin at the ends and work your way up to avoid unnecessary pulling or breakage.
Minimal Touching:
Avoid excessive touching, especially with unclean hands. Oils and dirt from hands can transfer to the strands and dull the hair’s finish over time.
Light Moisture Mist (Optional):
For curly or textured hair, lightly mist with water mixed with a few drops of leave-in conditioner to refresh curls without overloading the hair with product.
🧴 Washing & Conditioning
Wash Frequency:
Cleanse the hair once every 1–2 weeks, or more frequently if there is noticeable buildup from styling products or sweat.
Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo:
Always wash with a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo to avoid stripping the hair of its natural oils. Our Pure Hair retains its best quality when treated with gentle, salon-grade cleansers.
Condition Deeply:
Follow up with a rich, hydrating conditioner or a deep conditioning mask. Leave it on for 10–15 minutes to restore softness and shine.
Rinse Thoroughly with Cool Water:
Cool water seals the cuticle and helps retain moisture and shine. Rinse well to ensure no product residue remains.
Air Dry is Preferred:
After gently squeezing out excess water, allow the hair to air dry on a wig stand, hanger, or mannequin head to retain its natural shape and texture.
🔥 Heat Styling
Always Use a Heat Protectant:
Before using any hot tools (flat irons, curling wands, blow dryers), apply a salon-quality heat protectant spray or serum to prevent thermal damage.
Keep Temperatures Moderate:
Use the lowest effective temperature setting to style. Excessive heat, especially when used repeatedly, can dry out and compromise even the highest quality human hair.
Avoid Daily Heat Styling:
Limit heat usage to 1–2 times per week. Overuse can reduce the lifespan of the hair and dull its natural appearance.
Let Texture Shine:
Our hair is curated for its natural movement and texture. Embrace air-drying, roller sets, or flexi rods for heatless styling alternatives.
🌙 Night Care
Wrap It Up in Satin or Silk:
Before bedtime, wrap the hair with a satin/silk scarf or bonnet. Alternatively, sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent tangling.
Braid or Twist at Night:
For longer hair or textured units, loosely braid or twist the hair to preserve its pattern and reduce matting or knots.
Avoid Sleeping with Wet Hair:
Ensure your Pure Hair is completely dry before bedtime. Sleeping with damp hair can lead to mildew odor, tangling, and reduced quality.
Recommended Products
- Shampoo: Moisture-rich, sulfate-free (e.g. SheaMoisture, OGX, Moroccanoil)
- Conditioner: Hydrating and detangling formulas.
- Oils: Lightweight, natural oils without silicone.
- Styling: Alcohol-free mousse, heat protectant sprays, curl creams for curly hair.
Avoid heavy butters, alcohol-based sprays, or silicone-heavy serums. These can weigh down the hair, dull its shine, and shorten its usable life.
Storage & Longevity Tips
Clean Before Storing:
Always wash and condition the hair before long-term storage.
Use a Satin Bag or Box:
Store your bundles, wigs, or frontals in a satin pouch, original packaging, or a breathable box to prevent dust buildup and maintain softness.
Wig Stand or Mannequin Head:
Keep wigs and styled units on a stand to preserve shape and prevent tangling.
Final Tip: Professional Touch-Ups
For the best results, schedule regular maintenance with a trusted stylist. Just like natural hair, Pure Hair benefits from trims, hydration treatments, and proper care techniques that only a professional can provide.
