Raw vs. Virgin Hair: What's the Difference?
Understand the grades of hair so you can invest in quality that truly lasts.

Achieving a truly undetectable result starts long before you reach for the adhesive. Begin with clean, oil-free skin and a freshly washed unit. Preparation is the difference between a look that lasts an afternoon and one that lasts a week.
Lay your foundation in thin layers, allowing each to become tacky before adding the next. Patience here pays dividends. When you finally lay the lace, press from the center outward to avoid trapping air.
Finish with a light dusting of translucent powder to kill any shine, then style as desired. With practice, this routine becomes second nature — and the compliments will follow.
