Hair Care Guide

 

Your LOOK LAIKA extensions are crafted from 100% Raw Vietnamese human hair, chosen for its exceptional quality, softness and longevity.

With the right care, your extensions are designed to last up to 2 years, making them an investment you’ll enjoy for years to come.

Follow the guide below to keep your extensions looking and feeling their best.

 

How many sets do I need?

One 160g set is our standard set and is designed to work beautifully across all hair types. Whether your natural hair is short and fine, long and simply needs more volume, or you’re looking for extra length and fullness for styling, one set gives a seamless, natural-looking result.

Two 160g sets are ideal if you want maximum fullness or a more transformative install. This option works especially well for natural hair babes who prefer to cornrow most of their hair down and install the clip-ins using a quick-weave style method with leave-out for a fuller, blended finish.


BRUSHING

Always brush your extensions before and after each wear.

Using a soft bristle or extension-friendly brush, begin at the ends and gently work your way upwards while supporting the hair with your hand. This helps minimise unnecessary tension and keeps the hair smooth and tangle-free.

Lightly detangle/brush your extensions while they’re wet.

WASHING


Unlike your natural hair, clip-in extensions don’t need to be washed after every wear.

Wash your extensions only when product build-up occurs or when they need refreshing.

We recommend using:

  • Sulphate-free shampoo
  • A nourishing conditioner
  • Lukewarm water
  • Silicone-based hair oils

We highly recommend using products from brands like Redken (All Soft Collection), ColourWoW, & Cecred.

Gently work the shampoo through the hair in a downward motion. Avoid rubbing, twisting or scrubbing the hair, as this can cause tangling.

After shampooing, apply conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends before rinsing thoroughly.

 

To keep your raw hair extensions soft, smooth and healthy for as long as possible, avoid:

  • Harsh sulphate shampoos — these can strip the hair of moisture and cause dryness over time.
  • Heavy oils and butters — products like castor oil, coconut oil and shea butter can weigh the hair down and create buildup.
  • Heavy silicone-based products — excessive use can coat the hair and leave it feeling dull, stiff or greasy.
  • High-alcohol styling products — some hairsprays, gels and styling products can dry the hair out with frequent use.
  • Frequent clarifying shampoos — these are designed for deep cleansing and can be too stripping when used regularly.
  • Excessive purple shampoo — overuse can dry out blonde extensions and leave the colour looking dull or overly ashy.
  • Too many protein or keratin treatments — excessive protein can cause the hair to feel stiff, brittle and more prone to breakage.
  • Excessive dry shampoo — frequent use can cause buildup and make the hair harder to detangle.
  • 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner products — these may not provide enough moisture and nourishment for raw extensions.
  • At-home bleaching, relaxing or strong chemical treatments — we recommend having any major colour or chemical services carried out by an experienced professional.

For best results, choose gentle, moisturising products with lightweight formulas and avoid excessive product buildup.


DRYING

After washing, gently squeeze out excess water using a soft towel.

Do not wring or twist the hair.

For the best results, allow your extensions to air dry naturally.

If you choose to blow dry, always apply a heat protectant beforehand and use a low to medium heat setting.


HEAT STYLING

Because LOOK LAIKA extensions are made from 100% Raw Vietnamese human hair, they can be curled, straightened and styled just like your own hair.

To help preserve their softness and longevity:

• Always use a heat protectant.

• Avoid excessive temperatures.

• Style only when necessary.

Using lower heat whenever possible will help maintain the natural quality of the hair for longer.


SLEEPING

Always remove your clip-in extensions before sleeping.

Sleeping in your extensions may cause unnecessary tangling, matting and stress on both the hair and the clips.

Removing them before bed is one of the easiest ways to maximise their lifespan.


SWIMMING & EXERCISE

We recommend removing your extensions before swimming, exercising or participating in activities that may expose them to chlorine, salt water or excessive perspiration.

These elements can dry the hair over time and may affect its overall condition.


STORAGE

Proper storage is just as important as proper care.

Before storing your extensions:

• Brush them thoroughly.

• Ensure they’re completely dry.

• Store them flat inside your LOOK LAIKA storage bag or box.

Keeping your extensions clean, dry and protected will help preserve their quality between wears.


COLOURING

Our extensions can be professionally toned or coloured darker if desired.

As they are made from 100% human hair, we recommend all colouring services be carried out by an experienced professional.

We do not recommend bleaching or lightening the hair, as this can affect the integrity and longevity of the extensions.


DAILY CARE

To keep your LOOK LAIKA extensions looking their best:

• Brush them gently before and after each wear.

• Remove them before sleeping.

• Use quality hair care products.

• Apply heat protectant before styling.

• Store them correctly after every use.

A little care goes a long way in preserving the beauty of your extensions.
