How To Make Your Raw Vietnamese Wig Last 3 Years
Share
You have invested in raw Vietnamese hair. Now the question is: how do you make sure it stays beautiful for years, not months? This complete care guide tells you exactly what to do, step by step, in plain language.
Understanding What You Have
Raw Vietnamese hair is real human hair that has never been chemically treated. The cuticles are intact. This is why it behaves like natural hair, and why it responds to care the same way your natural hair would.
The biggest mistake women make with raw hair is treating it like processed hair. Processed hair has been treated with coating agents that make it feel soft and smooth. Raw hair’s softness comes from the intact cuticle, and that cuticle needs moisture and gentle handling to stay healthy.
How Often To Wash Your Raw Vietnamese Hair Wig
- Daily wear: wash every 7 to 10 days.
- A few times per week: wash every 14 days.
- Occasional wear: wash every 3 to 4 weeks.
Washing more often than necessary strips the natural moisture from the hair. Washing less often allows product buildup and sweat to weaken the hair strands.
The Step-By-Step Washing Process
- Detangle first before any water touches the hair. Use a wide-tooth comb. Start at the ends and work slowly upward to the root. Never start at the root.
- Rinse with lukewarm water not hot. Hot water forces the cuticle open, causing frizz and long-term damage.
- Apply sulphate-free shampoo work it through the hair in one downward direction. Do not scrub in circles or pile the hair on top of itself.
- Rinse until the water runs clear, no shampoo residue should remain.
- Apply deep conditioner from mid-length to ends. Leave for at least 15 minutes. For a deeper treatment, cover with a plastic bag for 20 minutes.
- Rinse with cool water, cool water closes the cuticle and locks in moisture and shine.
- Press gently with a microfibre towel to remove excess water. Never wring or twist.
- Place on a wig stand and allow to air dry completely.
Daily Maintenance
Every morning: lightly mist your wig with a mixture of water and leave-in conditioner in a spray bottle. Gently finger-detangle or use a wide-tooth comb. Style as needed.
Every evening: remove the wig before sleeping. Brush gently and place on your wig stand. If you must sleep in your wig, wrap in a satin scarf or use a satin pillowcase.
Monthly Deep Treatment
Once a month, do a heat-activated deep conditioning treatment. Apply a generous amount of deep conditioning mask to the hair. Cover with a plastic cap. Hold a warm hair dryer over the cap for 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water. The difference in texture and shine will be immediately noticeable.
Heat Styling Tips
Always use a heat protectant spray before any heat styling, always, without exception. Keep your flat iron or curling wand at a maximum of 200°C. Higher temperatures cause irreversible damage to the hair structure over time.
How To Store Your Wig
Store your wig on a wig stand, away from direct sunlight and heat. If storing for more than two weeks, gently braid the hair, place it in a satin bag, and store in a cool, dry place.
