TIPS FOR CURLY HAIR

Curly hair can be extremely challenging and getting your curls to look their best can be a daunting, frustrating task. Curly hair’s well-earned reputation for being the most difficult hair texture to manage and style is because it’s naturally prone to dryness, frizz, humidity and breakage. To make the most of your curls, follow our list of tried and tested tips for caring for your  brazilian virign hair .










1.Go Natural

The best thing you can do for your  peruvian virgin hair  is go natural. Put down the straightening creams, flat irons, and blow dryers and embrace your natural curls. All forms of straightening are very damaging and only lead to unhealthy, dull hair.

2.Silk Pillow Case

Use a smooth pillow case made from silk or satin. Rougher materials, like cotton and polyester, are hard on the hair cuticle and cause frizz.

3.Moisturize

Curly brazilian hair for sale is naturally dry, so it is very important to constantly hydrate. I recommend a weekly deep-conditioning treatment and regular use of a leave-in conditioner. Also, believe it or not a good humidifier can help keep your hair from drying out in the arid, winter months.

4.Towel Dry Carefully

The typical rubbing method of towel drying your hair is not a good idea for any hair type, especially curly hair. Instead use a padding or squeezing technique to absorb the excess moisture.

5.Blow Dry with a Diffuser

If you blow dry your hair make sure to use a diffuser. Diffusers evenly distribute and widen the airflow for a more gentle drying process. Dry your hair about 90% and then allow it to air dry the rest of the way. This will greatly reduce frizz and you hair will absorb some of the moisture.

6.Air Dry If Possible

If it’s the weekend, evening, or you have time, let your hair air dry. If you are in a rush, let it air dry as long as possible, maybe while you do your makeup and get dressed, and then finish with a blow dryer and diffuser.

7.Trim Regularly

The ends are the first place to show damage and this can make your hair look frizzy and dull. Get in a good habit of trimming your split ends hair every six to eight weeks. If done on a regular basis, you will notice your hair looking healthier.

8.Wash Your Hair Less

Shampooing is very hard on your peruvian hair weave follicle. Don’t wash your hair and just condition, unless you need too, lathering-up only once; except for when your’re using heavy styling products. Otherwise, shampoo quickly and focus your efforts mostly on the scalp. Make sure to use formulas that a free of harsh chemicals and detergents like sulfates which strip your hair of natural oils and much needed moisture.

9.Conditioner Tips

Leave your conditioner in for as long as you can when in the shower and detangle your hair before rinsing out it. This increases your moisture absorption and reduces snags. Also you can apply a little to your ends before bed.

10.Don’t Use A Brush

Unless your straightening your hair while blow drying never use a brush or fine-toothed combs. Brushes cause too much friction for curly hair and can lead to breakage and frizz. Instead, use a wide-toothed comb to detangle and your fingers when your hair is really wet.

11.Hands Off

Resist the urge to play with your cheap peruvian hair. The oil, dirt and friction causes from your fingers results in frizz.

12.Products to Avoid

Avoid hair care products that contain sulfates, alcohol and salt, which can dry out and damage your curls.





7 Tips To Keep Your Extensions Looking Great!

Caring for your weave can be tricky – the most common rookie mistake is using all the same products used on your natural hair on your hair extensions.  It would seem that if a product works well and keeps your real hair looking great then surely it should do the same for hair extensions.  This is not a hard and fast rule at all, in fact just the opposite is true is some cases!  Here are a few tips to keep your hair looking its best.

1.Less is more!  While we work very hard to keep our real brazilian virgin hair moisturized and then seal our moisture in with oils, weaves don’t require that kind of maintenance.  In fact too much product will weigh down the hair and cause it to look greasy and stringy.  Use as little product as possible, no more than what is necessary.

2.Braid or Twist Curly Hair Nightly.  Keep the frizz at bay, the tangles tamed and the crinkles and coils curly!  Similar to natural cheap peruvian hair, knots and tangles will wreak havoc when sleeping with the hair loose or even if it is covered with a scarf or bonnet.  Braiding and twisting keeps the hair in its best condition and will cut back on your styling time in the morning.

3.Wash and condition regularly.  Yes, weave is less maintenance than your real virgin brazilian hair in certain aspects but it still requires regular washing and conditioning.  Especially when wearing virgin hair extensions, shampooing and conditioning revitalizes the hair, removes product buildup and keeps it looking fresh. 

4.Snip the ends.  Most virgin hair has tapered ends, the same as hair growing on a person looks.  When wearing your extensions, snip away the last half inch to give a full look with blunt ends for straight hair and a uniform curl completely to the ends in curly/wavy hair. 

5.Cover it up.  Sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet.  For our real cheap peruvian hair we are concerned with robbing the hair of moisture, and with extensions, satin causes less frizz and roughness.  Sleeping on cotton will only age your extensions faster making them appear haggard and worn.

6.Fold, don’t cut your wefts.  Sew (or glue) your extensions by folding over the ends rather than cutting them to avoid shedding. In addition to shedding being annoying, it also wears your extensions out faster.  The more the hair sheds the less full the wefts will be.  Nobody wants to end up with thin, scraggly hair extensions! 

7.Lay off the heat.  When you are wearing curly virgin peruvian hair extensions, treat it just as you would your natural curls.  While its obviously better to use direct heat on the extensions than your real hair, it can still cause the curls to loosen and even straighten.  If you want to wear primarily straight hair, purchase a straight texture.  For curly styles, if you want to be able to reuse the extensions for multiple installations, it is better to keep it in its natural state as much as possible.

6 Steps To Straight Hair Without A Straightener


We were recently presented with the question:
“Is there any way you can get frizzy hair straight without a straightener?” 
While this is greatly dependent upon the full brazilian hair type/texture as well as atmospheric conditions, there are definitely a few styling steps you can follow to achieve this goal!
1. Wash and condition hair in lukewarm to cool water with the smoothing shampoo of your choice. We love the Keratin Complex line of shampoos and conditioners.
2. Once your brazilian virign hair is rinsed free from product, give it another rinse of cold water to close and smooth the hair cuticles. As cold as you can stand it!
3. After towel drying your brazilian hair, add your favorite heat protecting product or leave-in conditioner likeKeratase’ Serum Oleo Relax, paying special attention to the ends of the hair. Then carefully comb through your entire head of hair with a wide-tooth comb.
4. Blow dry peruvian hair on a medium heat setting using the nozzle attachment on your dryer. Dry all over with your fingers to get some of the access moisture out, then divide hair in three to six sections (depending on how much peruvian hair weave you have) using clips to hold them apart. Blow dry one section at a time with a round brush holding the brush on one side of the hair and the dryer on the other, drying the hair from root to tip.
5. Once all of the sections are dry, switch your blow dryer to a cool setting and give your hair another all over with the blow dryer and the brush. The cool air helps to set the style.
6. Take your favorite smoothing or shine serum and apply a small amount to your hair from about mid-shaft to the tips. We are big fans of the Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment.
Voila! Straight hair without the straightener!

"I AM MY HAIR"

Okay — so listen for one second before you unfollow/block me or whatever already for the title of this post because I know it is against the “natural cheap peruvian hair code of ethics.” (Which was written by who you might ask? I’m not sure.) But I am about to go on a little rant right now because I am just tired of all of this talk saying “I am not my wholesale brazilian hair, my hair doesn’t define me, I am going to go bald because I don’t want my hair to be who I am, blah blah blah.” There are many people who have said this but it has gotten to the point now where I want to voice my opinion. (Also please keep in mind I am in no way trying to offend anyone who may have a disease such as cancer or alopecia or anything. I am just trying to make a point.)
First off — technically yes, I AM my hair. It grows out of my head and so it is just as much of my body as any other part of my body is. So if I am not my virgin brazilian hair then does that mean I could cut off my arm too? Cause uhm, I’m pretty sure that it’s apart of me too. Really.

I truly believe that peruvian hair is a beautiful asset of a woman. Men typically have short hair– and women typically have longer hair than men. Typically. Cause yes there are many women who look STUNNING with short hair/fades. I think they look even better with short hair because it accentuates their natural beauty. And if you want to go that route because of your personal preference — I totally support that! But lets be real we are all not Amber Rose and if I go bald I’m gonna be looking like a baby alien! (Yes, a baby alien– cause I might still be a little cute– I think. lol). So I am not going to stop wearing my hair out or cutting it because “I don’t want to be my hair anymore.”

I also think this makes us take a few steps backwards if you ask me. We finally got over relaxers, and now we have to get over being natural? So we have come with the next best solution — no hair!!! *Straight face*. Can we ever win??

And for you beautiful women of God reading this who believe that having/flaunting/taking pictures of hair makes you vain or pretentious– the bible says “–a woman, her beautiful hair reminiscent of angels” 1 Corinthians 11:15 (MSG) and the NIV translation says “if a woman has long wholesale peruvian hair it is her glory. For long hair is given to her as a covering.”

So I understand if you might have an issue comparing your hair to other women and wanting to have their texture and/or length, or caring about your appearance more than your character– but I don’t think that calls for you to disown your hair completely. If that’s the case that won’t even get to the root of the issue. You are just burrying the problem (which is envy and insecurity) and not addressing it and fixing it. I’ve struggled with both of these issues and if I’m not careful I can end up feeling that way again too. But I have to remind myself that I am “fearfully and wonderfully made” and that “my confidence is in Christ.”

I don’t post pictures of my hair or wear it out just to show it off and flaunt how curly it is. I post it because until 7 years ago I hated my hair. Actually– even when I went natural I still hated it for awhile. I grew up wanting stick straight, silky hair like the white girls at school — or at least blonde loose curls like my beautiful mom who I always did and still admire. I was insecure and thought that people with straighter, finer hair were better and more beautiful than me. And now even my beautiful 5 year old niece sometimes says things like “No one has hair like me.” or “I want my hair smooth” and sometimes wears a blanket over her head to pretend it is long, flowly hair (lol does anyone else remember doing that? I used to all the time LOL). But my sister and I constantly remind her and tell her “Gianna your hair is beautiful! LOOK! Me and mommy have hair just like yours!”

I have finally embraced my natural texture and I want everyone else to too. I want people of all textures whether you are 1A or 4C to love what they were born with and embrace it just as much as you embrace your height, body shape, or whatever your other favorite attributes are. I love when I get emails from people saying how much I inspire them to embrace their natural texture, length, and stage of their journey. 

If anything, I think the natural hair movement has brought more women together and has caused us to uplift each other and genuinely acknowledge each other’s beauty. I’ve never received this much affirmation, love, and encouragement from other women in my life. It was alway battles, jealousy, and tearing down of one another. I love how our hair has finally started to bring us together, and there is great beauty in that.

Oh–and I am not saying there is never a time where I am feeling myself too much– not at all. Because I am human and I am not perfect– WE ALL make mistakes ! We all have issues! But lets please please PLEASE-- make life easier for everyone. Wear your hair HOW you want it. Whether it’s relaxed, weaves, natural, curly, long, short–whatever. Take your selfies if you want (not too many though because that’s just plain annoying. I don’t care if you’re Halle Berry– I would like to see the rest of my timeline please). And have FUN. Beauty is fun. That’s why we are girls. Us women like to get dressed up, put on our makeup and be girly, and men like to play video games and watch football all day or whatever *borrrringgg*. Its okayyy!!! It’s not that deep ladies.

5 Steps to Longer Hair in a Year


1.  Accept that what you are doing does not work
You are doing it all, protective styling, moisturising and  deep conditioning but still you have not managed to move your hair an inch. It is time to face the facts – your current routine despite having all the good stuff really does not work.
It is time for a critical assessment. Do you keep a protective style long enough to ensure that you gain benefit from it? Do you moisturise at the critical points when moisture is needed (when taking down a style and when handling free hair) and do you avoid handling your brazilian virign hair at its weakest state (soaking wet)? Could you be doing too much to your hair therefore causing it to wear away and compromise length?
If you do not see results within 2-3 months, you need to make this critical assessment again. Do not wait for 1 year to go by. You should be able to see small increments in your hair length every 2-3 months.
2. Know when your hair breaks
The reason for wholesale brazilian hair staying at a stagnant length is because it is breaking just as fast as it is growing. It is really important to know when your hair is most vulnerable to breakage and this varies from person to person depending on your individual strand thickness and choice of styling. The most common breakage points are:
-during takedown of a protective style (especially at the ends)
-during detangling (both conditioner combing and dry detangling)
– while wearing brazilian virign hair free (due to tangling, shrinkage, knots and regular handling)
Once you identify why and when your hair is most vulnerable to breakage, you will be able to know exactly when you must protect your hair from damage.
3. Try something new
Having accepted that what you are doing does not work, it is time to try to do something new. If you have been conditioner combing, try dry or damp detangling  for a little while and see how it works for you.  Compare your results after 2-3 months and decide which one really works best for you.  If you have never deep conditioned your hair, try doing it for 2-3 months and see if your hair improves or not. If you only use heavy oils or butters on your hair, try light oils and see if your hair would equally be happy with those. Do not write things off before you actually try them.
4. Know when to stop
I am really all for trying something new but equally you should know when to stop. If a technique causes immediate breakage, stop using it. Do not think perhaps your cheap peruvian hair is shedding more than usual, assume that the technique is not working for your hair and must be adjusted to suit your curls and kinks or not used at all. If you are deep conditioning 2-3 times a week and your hair is not moisturised, stop and reassess how you are conditioning (is your conditioner working, do you need to warm it up first, could you do with some protein, do you use a leave in/moisturiser/oil after washing).
5. Have realistic expectations
Finally hair takes a long time to grow. Many naturals cannot retain 100% of their growth. If your brazilian hair is susceptible to split ends then cutting them off will impact retention but provided at the end of the year you have kept some length, do not be disheartened. There are a small proportion of women who can keep all their growth but I feel that it is more reasonable to expect between 3-5 inches per year with a regular trimming or dusting routine.

Curl Pattern Loss from the Hot Comb



Unfortunately when you style your peruvian hair extensions with direct heat you risk losing some of your curl pattern. Especially when you use a hot comb or flat iron to straighten your hair because there is a high amount of direct heat being applied to your brazilian virign hair which ends up breaking its bond. Is there a way to prevent this?
Ultimately the use of heat styling tools is unpredictable when it comes to hair. Even if you have been really careful when applying heat to your hair, especially if you apply heat often, you risk the chance of having ends that will not revert back to its natural curl pattern.
Advice to those who like to press their hair?
Keep the amount of direct heat applied to your brazilian hair wholesale to a minimum. When you hair has been pressed wait until the third week of your press to do a touch up, to reduce the amount of unnecessary heat to your hair. When pressing your hair avoid applying heat to a section more times than what is actually required to straighten it. For hair that is coarse you may have to put the flat iron on the highest setting but only set the temperature to what is actually needed to straighten you hair. If you can straighten your hair adequately on medium go for that setting!
Note: You can lightly apply a heat protectant or serum but apply lightly before you press your hair. Do not smother your virgin brazilian hair with product as this may cause sizzling and a smoking iron. Your hair should be completely dry when you are pressing it. Adding an oil or serum to brazilian hair for sale your before pressing it will add moisture and sheen to your hair. When you go to the salon you may have to ask for a heat protectant  to be applied otherwise, they may just simply apply a light oil.

How to Safely Bleach Hair Platinum Blonde




Why Trust Me?

Ok, first things first- why should you listen to me? I wouldn’t trust my peruvian virgin hair to any random blogger on the internet, why should you? Well, first, I’ve been dying my hair myself since I was in Middle School, so for well over 10 years. Next, throughout my entire existence my hair has been every color of the rainbow, and back to platinum blonde, so I know how to get the results I want fast. Finally, after this many years’ experience I know what not to do, I refined my technique to the point where I can tell you how to get the color you want on the first try without completely frying your hair. Not to mention, most of my friends are cosmetologists.
Now, if you feel like I’m a reliable source of information, we’ll get into what you really want to know.
  1. Color does not cover color. In other words, do not attempt to buy a box of blonde color because it will not turn out like what’s on the package, especially if you’ve colored your hair before. You’ll end up at the very least brassy, and you may even end up resembling a traffic cone if your hair favors red tones.
  2. You cannot become platinum blonde without bleaching your virgin peruvian hair.
  3. Yes, bleach is harmful to hair and scalp. The bleach will damage your hair and can chemical burn your scalp. That’s why you take precautions. You want your hair healthy before you bleach. And you never paint the bleach all the way to the scalp.
  4. Bleaching should be a three-part system: getting started, the action!, and aftercare.

Getting Started

Like I said before, you want to have healthy hair before you go slapping on the bleach. It’s just better that way- healthy hair can stand up to the abuse it’s going to take processing.
To make sure your hair is healthy:
- Stay away from box color
- Do not bleach more than once every few weeks
- Do not bleach previously bleached pieces of virgin brazilian hair (for instance- only bleach new growth)
- Use conditioner every time you wash your hair
- Do not wash your hair every day- every three days is ideal because it allows the oil in the hair to build back up, nourish, and protect the hair
- Keep your split ends in check- the recommendation is every 6-8 weeks, but I normally go every 10-12; I find it works better for my hair.
- follow additional tips in the "aftercare" section of this hub

After you make sure your hair is in an OK condtion to undergo bleaching, its time to gather supplies and test out the process.
First, decide how many shades you need to lift your wholesale brazilian hair to get to your desired color of blonde – this will help determine the developer you need to purchase. Typically, you'll use a 30 developer to lighten your hair 3 shades, and 40 for 4 shades. I've personally never used a 40 developer on my hair, I stick with the 30 and it has worked just fine on my dyed and natural hair, I just leave it on a little longer than what I would the 40. Whatever I can do to help limit the harshness of the bleach, I do, so I do suggest that if the 30 developer works for you use it instead of stepping up to the 40.
Next, it's time to buy your materials
Shopping List:
- ion color brilliance powder lightener
- ion sensative scalp 30 volume creme developer
- manic panic "virgin snow" toner
- re-useable gloves
- hair clips
-mixing bowl
-tint brush
- ion cool blonde shampoo
I buy all of my product at Sally's and it usually runs between $25 and $30 depending on the sales they're running. If you prefer a different brand, by all means, use the one you feel comfortable with. I like Ion because the powder is tinted blue and it helps to acheive that cool blonde color better.
After buying your product resist the urge to run home and start a bleaching frenzy. You need to do a strand test before bleaching to see how your hair is going to react.
To Strand Test:
Divide your hair into a top and bottom section, clip up the top section, and select a small strand of brazilian virgin hair from the bottom section that is easily manipulated and hidden (if things go wrong). Mix your product according to the directions in the "action!" section of this hub, apply, and wait. Note the time of application and check hair every 10 minutes until the desired color is acheived. This way you'll know about how long it will take your hair to process when you bleach completely.

The Action!

So, you've taken care of your hair, gathered all your supplies, and completed the strand test-- now, you're ready for the exciting part-- the action!
First things first- get all your materials laid out in the bathroom, grab a towel and throw it around your shoulders, and divide your hair into 4 sections by parting it like a plus sign, down then across, and secure each with a clip.
Next, mix your bleach. Start by dumping the powder from the bleach packet into a mixing bowl, then gradually stir in the developer until it gets to a consistency almost like ketchup. You don't want to leave it watery, but you also don't want it like peanut butter. Make sure to mix it up well, because the powder has a tendency to stick to the bottom of the mixing bowl and not become completely submersed in the developer. This will make your solution gritty and hard to work with.
Now you can start bleaching!
Be careful not to apply the bleach directly onto the scalp- it can chemical burn your head. Just paint your roots super-close. Start with the roots and work your way down to the tips of your hair. If you've previously dyed or bleached your hair, this will save on some of the damage to the ends- limiting the amount of time exposed to the bleach. You can start front to back, back to front, or on one of the sides-whatever way is easiest for you. I try to start at the back and work my way through the sides and to the front.
After your hair is covered it's time to wait. Whenever your hair is processing be sure to check its progress like with the strand test, even though now you should have a general idea on how long it will take. You don't want to over-do it. When you check your hair's progress, check to make sure the bleach isn't drying out, Reserve some of the bleach mixture so that in case some areas do begin to dry you can re-coat them. If you don't have any extra bleach, you can use a little dab of water on the area as well.
When the processing is finished, rinse your hair, then wash with the purple shampoo. Condition your hair heavily, and if you can stand it, don't blow dry or flat iron.
Dry hair reveals colors that wet hair doesn't. So, when your hair dries, inspect it for strands that look brassy, orange, or yellow. That's where you'll apply the "Virgin Snow" toner. It works on wet or dry hair, so if you can pick out discolorations when the hair is wet, there is no need to wait for it to dry to apply the toner. The good thing about this toner is it is actually good for your hair, it's very moisturizing, \ so you can drench your entire head in the stuff if you don't want to pick out individual areas for application. It won't hurt the color that bleached out with no brassiness- it will simply brighten and enhance it. The longer you can leave this on, the better. At least 30 minutes is needed for full effect, but if you slather it on and put a towel around it turban-style, an hour is easily achievable. Once time is up, wash again with purple shampoo, condition, and spray in a leave in conditioner/reconstructor. Again, avoid heat if at all possible.

The Aftercare

The aftercare is probably the most important part of the whole bleaching extravaganza. You want to keep that gorgeous hair healthy, right?
To do that:
Buy a deep conditioner, hot oil treatment, or hair masque and use it at least once a week. You need to replace the moisture in your hair. I use a combination of the V05 hot oil shower treatment and Kenra Nourishing Masque.
Buy a good reconstructor and use at least once a week. Deep conditioners are great, but don't do enough for bleached hair. They re-moisturize, but that's really it. You need something that is going to give your hair some lovin'. Reconstructors will revitalize your hair, fix some of the damage, and replace some of what was stripped out of your hair during the bleaching process. Bedhead makes a nice reconstructor called Dumb Blonde and you can use it every time you wash your hair.
Use a spray, leave-in treatment of some type. Redken Snap, or CHI Keratin Treatment will help repair damage.
Wash with purple shampoo. It keeps those lovely blonde locks looking their best and brightest, and will keep brassiness and discolorations away.
Trim your ends.
Stay away from heat as much as possible, especially within the first week. Avoid the flat iron, girls, and if you absolutely must blow dry, set it to the lowest heat setting.
And, when it comes time to bleach again, only bleach your new growth.

3 HOT HAIRSTYLES FOR SHORT NATURAL HAIR


The internet is literally bursting with styles for women celebrating their short, sexy peruvian virgin hair, and if you are struggling with your own teeny weeny afro (TWA) and simply don’t know how to wear or feminize your look, it helps to watch a couple videos of women who have your texture to get a little inspiration. Unfortunately, I didn't experience the TWA stage because I transitioned to natural virgin brazilian hair without cutting my length off, but if I could do it all over again, I think I would spend some time loving and nurturing a Teeny Weeny Afro!

4 Simple TWA Tips

1. MOISTURIZE AND SEAL OFTEN
This can mean everyday or every other day depending on how you style your brazilian hair. Use water, water based products and aloe vera juice to add moisture to your hair. While your brazilian virgin hair is really short, there’s nothing wrong with getting it wet in the shower every morning if you want to!
2. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SCALP
Scalp health is always important but when you have a TWA, making sure your scalp is super healthy is extremely important because you have less hair to protect it. Keep your scalp clean, clarify if you have to and massage your head with your favorite oil often to keep your blood flowing.
3. PROTECT YOUR HAIR AT NIGHT
Don’t think that just because your hair is short you can avoid protecting it as much as you should! Sleeping with a satin scarf is always recommended but you can also opt for a satin pillow case as an alternative. Either way, protecting your hair from the beginning will only be beneficial as your brazilian virign hair grows longer-- the hair on your head now will become the ends of your length!
4. HAVE FUN WITH STYLING
Do accessorize, do wear parts, do play with products and do play with color (responsibly). Have as much fun as you can with your TWA because that phase ends pretty fast! Below are video demonstrations of 3 easy ways to style your TWA.
