Build Your Own Lace Wig - Kinky Straight

Shedding is a normal part of wearing curly extensions. Because they’re made from real human hair, some shedding can occur over time, just as it does with natural hair.

You may notice shedding more during your first detangle or wash, as any loose strands from the wefting process are released. With a consistent haircare routine, you can expect minimal shedding each day. 

Curly hair will tangle. It is simply the nature of curly textures. Sleeping on it, sweating, working out, and everyday activities friction against your clothes or the back of your neck can cause the curls to tangle up over time. I always recommend detangling the hair at least every 3 to 4 days so it does not become overly tangled or matted. Letting hair go too long without detangling can cause more shedding than usual when you finally comb through it.

Important
Always detangle the hair when it’s damp and conditioned. Handling it while dry can create tension and lead to shedding.

Red/Gold Strands: Even though the strands are barely visible, Red/Gold strands in virgin hair can naturally occur after the steaming process. These strands are not synthetic—synthetic fibers would melt like plastic, whereas real hair burns to ash. In some cases, donors may also have naturally occurring red/Gold tones due to UV exposure from sunlight.

Hair bundles are measured when stretched, not in their natural curly state. The tighter the curl pattern, the more shrinkage occurs. To get an accurate length, gently stretch the bundle and measure from the weft to the tip of the hair. This ensures you capture the true length, especially for curly or wavy textures, which can appear shorter due to shrinkage.
