Each bundle is crafted from 100% raw Vietnamese single-donor hair, carefully sourced to preserve its natural strength, softness, movement, and longevity. Because your hair is completely unprocessed, it behaves much like natural hair and thrives with consistent, intentional care.
Unlike overly processed extensions, raw hair retains its natural integrity — allowing it to last for years with proper maintenance while maintaining its luxurious appearance.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR HAIR
Your hair may arrive with a soft, fresh fragrance from our signature cleansing and conditioning preparation process prior to shipment. This ensures your extensions arrive refreshed, clean, and ready for installation.
Because every bundle is sourced from individual donors:
- Slight variations in tone, wave pattern, or fullness are completely normal
- No two bundles are identical
- This uniqueness is what makes raw hair exceptionally luxurious and authentic
For seamless blending, some clients may choose to custom tone or color their bundles.
BEFORE INSTALLATION (IMPORTANT)
Before installing your Martina Luxury Hair, we strongly recommend:
Inspect Your Hair
Examine each bundle while zip ties remain attached to ensure satisfaction before installation.
Cleanse & Condition
Wash and deep condition your hair prior to installation using:
- Sulfate-free shampoo
- Moisturizing conditioner
- Lukewarm water
Detangle Properly
Using a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush:
- Begin at the ends
- Slowly work upward toward the weft
- Never force tangles
Air Dry Preferred
Allow hair to air dry whenever possible, or use low heat if blow drying.
Moisture is Essential
Raw hair requires hydration to maintain softness, elasticity, and manageability. Proper moisture helps minimize:
- dryness
- tangling
- frizz
- matting
- breakage
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
To preserve the integrity and longevity of your extensions:
- Avoid piercing the wefts whenever possible
- Minimize cutting wefts to reduce shedding
- Consider using a professional weft sealant
- Ensure your stylist installs with proper tension
For closures and frontals:
- Avoid excessive pulling around the lace
- Handle the hairline delicately
- Use professional adhesive removal techniques
STRAIGHT & WAVY TEXTURE CARE
Daily Maintenance
Detangle Gently
Use a paddle brush or wide-tooth comb daily:
- Start from the ends
- Work upward slowly
- Support the hair while brushing
Lightweight Products Only
Use lightweight:
- serums
- oils
- glossing products
Avoid heavy oils or excessive product buildup, which may cause:
- tangling
- stiffness
- matting
- weighed-down hair
A small amount is all that is needed to maintain a polished, luxury finish.
Heat Styling
Our raw Vietnamese textures style beautifully with heat.
Always:
- use heat protectant
- avoid excessive heat passes
- allow curls to cool before touching
Excessive heat may gradually loosen natural wave patterns over time — similar to natural hair.
CURLY & TEXTURED HAIR CARE
Understanding Curly Hair
Healthy curls require the perfect balance of:
Curly hair is naturally more porous than straight textures, meaning it absorbs moisture from the environment more easily. Without adequate hydration, the cuticle may become rough, leading to:
- frizz
- tangling
- dryness
- disrupted curl definition
Consistent moisture and gentle handling are the foundation of maintaining beautiful curls.
CURLY HAIR WASH ROUTINE
Co-Wash Process
Step 1: Section Hair
Separate hair into 5–6 sections before wetting.
Step 2: Saturate Thoroughly
Wet each section completely with lukewarm water.
Step 3: Condition & Detangle
Apply conditioner generously and detangle using a Denman brush:
- begin at the ends
- work upward gradually
Step 4: Deep Condition
Allow conditioner to sit for 15–30 minutes.
For tighter textures:
- leave a small amount of conditioner in after rinsing
For looser curl patterns:
- rinse thoroughly to avoid weighing curls down
Step 5: Scrunch & Dry
Use a cotton t-shirt or microfiber towel to gently scrunch curls.
Then:
- air dry
OR - diffuse to approximately 60% dry
Avoid touching curls while drying to reduce frizz.
CURL REFRESH ROUTINE
To revive curls between washes:
Fill a spray bottle with:
- 3 parts water
- 1 part conditioner
Lightly mist the hair until damp.
Then:
- detangle gently
- apply lightweight curl cream if desired
- scrunch curls upward
- allow to air dry
Never aggressively brush curly hair while dry.
NIGHTTIME CARE
Protecting your hair while sleeping dramatically extends longevity.
Before bed:
- place hair into loose braids, twists, buns, or a high ponytail
- wrap with a satin or silk scarf
- sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase
For curly textures:
- flexi rods may be used overnight for added definition and bounce
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
For long-term luxury performance, we recommend:
Monthly Deep Conditioning
Use:
- intensive moisture masques
- hot oil treatments
- hydrating conditioners
This helps maintain:
- softness
- elasticity
- shine
- longevity
HD LACE CARE
Our HD Lace Closures and Frontals are delicate luxury pieces that require special handling.
Understanding HD Lace Construction
Our lace pieces are ventilated by hand using a precision knotting technique:
- Single-knotted hairs near the hairline create a realistic scalp appearance
- Double-knotted sections behind the hairline provide durability
Return Hairs
Short hairs near the lace are completely normal and result from the ventilation process.
To smooth them:
- use a wax stick
- apply gentle heat with a hot comb
IMPORTANT CARE REMINDERS
Avoid:
- excessive heavy oils
- sleeping without protection
- brushing curly hair dry
- excessive heat styling
- over-manipulation
Remember:
Raw hair is an investment. With proper care, your Martina Luxury Hair can maintain its beauty, softness, and luxury appearance for years.
Treat it as you would your own natural hair — and it will reward you with unmatched longevity, realism, and performance.
