Question 1

How can I determine my natural hair type?

Accepted Answer

Determining your natural hair type involves assessing the pattern and texture of your hair without any products or styling. Here's a brief breakdown:   Type 1 (Straight)  1a: Very straight and fine hair. It doesn't hold curls well. 1b: Straight but with a bit more body and volume. Might have slight bends at the ends. 1c: Straight with a slight wave, especially towards the ends.  Type 2 (Wavy)  2a: Slight, loose, undefined waves. The hair tends to be fine. 2b: More defined waves that might resemble an 'S' shape. This type can get frizzy. 2c: Clearly defined waves or loose curls. This type often has a mix of different textures.  Type 3 (Curly) 3a: Big, loose curls, about the size of sidewalk chalk. 3b: Bouncy, springy curls about the size of a marker. Hair can have a combination of textures. 3c: Tight, corkscrew-like curls, often the size of a pencil or straw.  Type 4 (Coily)  4a: Well-defined, springy, tight coils about the size of a crochet needle. Has an "S" pattern. 4b: Z-shaped pattern with less defined coils. Hair bends in sharp angles. 4c: Very tight coils, often with a zig-zag pattern. This type can shrink more than 75% of its length.  To accurately determine your type, wash your hair and let it air dry without applying any products. Then, compare its natural state to the descriptions above. Keep in mind, it's common to have a mix of different types on one head of hair.

Question 2

How can I prevent my hair extensions from tangling?

Accepted Answer

Our full-cuticle Remy hair extensions are renowned for their minimal tangling due to their unique construction and the preservation of the hair's natural cuticle layer. By retaining the full cuticle, your MANESTORY extensions mimic the natural behaviour of healthy, undamaged hair.  To maintain this quality, regular and gentle detangling using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers is recommended to help preserve the integrity of the hair and minimize friction created through daily wear. Begin detangling from the tips and work your way up to the roots. Additionally, wearing a silk or satin scarf at night or using a silk pillowcase can further reduce friction and subsequent tangling.

Question 3

How should I take care of my scalp when wearing weft hair extensions?

Accepted Answer

It's essential to keep your scalp clean and moisturized. Use a diluted shampoo or a scalp cleanser to cleanse without causing product build-up. After washing, ensure your braided rows and scalp are fully dry to prevent mold or mildew. If your scalp feels dry, apply a lightweight oil or serum to soothe and moisturize.

Question 4

Which natural hair type is most compatible with Yaki hair?

Accepted Answer

Our Dottie Yaki Straight is designed to blend perfectly with natural hair types that are texturized or have a more coarse texture. It typically resembles type 3 and type 4 hair types when relaxed or straightened. Yaki texture mimics the appearance and feel of these hair types, making it ideal for those who want to add length and volume while maintaining a natural, textured look.  While Yaki hair is designed to resemble coarser hair types, individuals with looser curls or straight hair can still experiment with Dottie. However, they will likely need to use heated styling tools to ensure their natural hair blends seamlessly with our infamous Yaki extensions.

Question 5

Can I use heat styling tools on human hair extensions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our full cuticle Remy quality hair can tolerate heat-styling tools up to high temperatures. This includes our textured extensions.   For example: styling tools that reach a setting of 480°F can be necessary for individuals with natural 4a to 4c hair types, which often have a coarser texture. The elevated temperature allows for effective straightening or styling, helping to achieve the desired results more efficiently on thicker and coarser hair.   Using a heat protectant spray before applying heat to your MANESTORY extensions and your natural hair is essential. Excessive heat styling has the potential to reduce the lifespan of your extensions. So, we recommend exercising caution and using these tools sparingly.

Question 6

What is kinky straight hair?

Accepted Answer

Kinky straight Remy hair is textured to mimic the natural appearance of kinky or tightly-coiled straight hair. Unlike traditional straight hair extensions, which have a smooth and sleek texture, kinky straight extensions have a coarser texture with a subtle "kink" or bend in the hair shaft. This texture resembles natural hair that has been straightened but retains some of its natural curl or wave pattern.   Kinky straight Remy hair extensions are popular among individuals with natural hair textures ranging from type 3c to type 4c who want to add length or volume to their hair while maintaining a more natural look and feel.
