Curly hair tips:

-Due to friction, heat, and clothes most tangling can occur in the nape of the hair/neck. Keeping this area moisturized will aid in preventing this.
-Your curly units have to stay moisturized.
-You can fill a spray bottle with water and moisturizing conditioner, spray the hair, then gently brush through it.
-If you brush or comb dry curly hair it can cause it to puff up and shed more.
Shedding tips:
-Minimal shedding occurs with all hair. Even your real head sheds naturally. --------Shedding occurs more often with curly and 613 hair.
-Units that have been bleached and 613 units are chemically processed so these units are more prone to shedding.
-It is very important to keep your processed units moisturized.
-If you do not take your units off your head make sure you wrap it with a silk scarf or bonnet when you sleep. If you would not like to use those two items, a silk pillow case is recommended. Regardless of the pillow case it is best to wrap your hair.
-If you take your unit off at night you can keep it in a bag or on your mannequin head. Before going to sleep it is best to comb through your unit to get rid of tangles.
Lace Maintenance:
-Absolutely do not scratch your lace.
-Hair on the lace naturally begins to thin over time so you scratching it can put a hole in the lace and can also cause the lace to bald prematurely.
-Due to the use of glue, hairspray, and gel in order to style the hair, overtime thinning will happen.
-Lace replacement is suggested every 6 months.
