Raw Human Hair Extensions Aftercare Guide

At LopeLocks UK, we believe premium raw human hair deserves premium care. Whether you're new to raw extensions or trying out one of our signature textures—Straight, Wavy, Curly, or Lace Closure pieces—knowing how to care for your hair is essential to keeping it looking luxurious for the long haul.

Our raw human hair extensions are sourced from real donors, which means they act just like natural hair—and should be treated that way too. From daily detangling to deep conditioning, setting the right expectations and using the right techniques makes all the difference in how your hair performs..

Why AfterCare Matters

You’ve made a quality investment—and just like natural hair, raw hair can tangle, shed, or lose its luster if not properly maintained. That’s why we’ve taken the guesswork out of building your perfect haircare routine for raw hair. We’ve tested a range of products and techniques to help you maintain the softness, shine, and strength of your LopeLocks bundles.

From shampooing to styling, we’re giving you the exact steps and recommended products we use on our own units—so you can feel confident every time you wear your extensions.

🌏 Why Our Hair is So Special

We don’t just buy hair—we go and find it ourselves! Every year the LopeLocks UK team travels through Southeast Asia—visiting rural villages, small markets, and ethical suppliers in places like Vietnam and India & china. That means your hair isn’t just premium, it’s personally sourced with love and respect.

  • Sourced directly from Southeast Asia
  • 100% unprocessed, cut from single donors
  • Behaves like real hair – because it is!

Before You Install: The Essential First Steps

✨ Your Raw Hair Aftercare Guide

1. Co-Wash Before Installation

Although our hair is pre-washed and free from any residue, we recommend a gentle co-wash using a sulphate-free conditioner before your install. This revives the strands, enhances softness, and preps it for styling.

2. Use Sulphate-Free Products Only

To maintain the natural texture and shine of raw hair, avoid products that contain sulphates, alcohol, or parabens. Stick to moisture-rich shampoos and conditioners.

3. Limit Heat Use

Raw human hair can be styled like your natural hair, but always use a heat protectant spray or serum and keep tools on a low to medium setting.

4. Air Dry After Washing

Do not towel rub or blow dry aggressively. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water and allow the hair to air dry naturally to maintain cuticle integrity.

5. Detangle Gently

Start detangling from the ends and work your way up using a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush. Always detangle when the hair is damp, not soaking wet.

6. Nighttime Maintenance

Wrap hair in a satin or silk bonnet or use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and breakage.
