Protect Your Investment. Preserve the Luxury.
At Gorgeous Her Hair Boutique, our raw hair extensions are 100% unprocessed, ethically sourced, and designed to last 2–3+ years with proper care. Because raw hair is exactly as it comes from the donor, it requires intentional maintenance—just like natural hair.
This guide will walk you through daily care, washing, product recommendations, and maintenance tips to ensure your hair remains soft, full, and flawless.

UNDERSTANDING RAW HAIR ✨
Raw hair is:
✔ Unprocessed
✔ Cuticle-aligned
✔ Free of silicones, fillers, and coatings
Because of this, raw hair:
• Responds like natural hair
• May frizz in humidity
• Needs moisture, not heavy products
✨ When properly cared for, raw hair only gets better with time.
⸻
DAILY CARE & MAINTENANCE
DO:
• Wrap hair nightly with a silk or satin scarf
• Use a silk pillowcase for added protection
• Detangle gently starting from the ends
• Apply light moisture every few days as needed.
AVOID:
• Heavy oils, grease, or waxes
• Excessive heat without protection
• Alcohol-based products
• Over-manipulation
⸻
WASHING YOUR RAW HAIR 🧼
How often?
Every 10–15 days, or as needed based on product use and lifestyle.
STEP-BY-STEP WASH ROUTINE:
1. Detangle hair completely before washing
2. Shampoo with lukewarm water
3. Focus shampoo on scalp/top of wefts, and shaft of hair
4. Rinse thoroughly
5. Apply conditioner mid-shaft to ends
6. Detangle with a wide-tooth comb
7. Rinse and gently squeeze excess water
✨ Air-dry when possible for best longevity, or blow dry with round brush for sleekness.
