This is what looks like a very large rats nest at your scalp involving multiple (more than 3-4 strands) at the area of your attachment on your scalp. It usually involves shed hairsas well as your natural hair like Peruvian natural wave virgin hair that has been left outside of the bonds during application.

Major matting is almost always caused by sleeping with wet or damp hair and hair extensions but can also happen over a long period of time if you are not maintaining your strand by strand hair extension install.

Remember that the area around the roots is the last to dry. It is always best to wash during the day when your hair has many hours to fully dry at the root.

With major strand tangling or matting, it is best to remove, detangle the hairs, remove the shed hairs, fl

at iron the hair and replace the extension. If your Brazilian virgin hair bundle deals with closure seems to be tangling in the area on which you sleep, i.e., one particular side of the head, consider purchasing a satin pillowcase.

It’s a great idea to run your fingers through your hair, around the bonds, as best as possible to detangle the shed hair from root hairs. It is impossible to remove the shed hairs as they are typically stuck in the bonds, but you can keep them from getting messy by separating them every few days, or so, as your hair grows out.

You will save your hair along with your hair extension. By fixing or maintaining tangles you will keep larger, more time-consuming tangles from occurring.

Care Tips

1. You can – but try and use colorants that do not contain ammonia as this weakens the hair cuticles. And can leave the hair dry and brittle.

2. You can but this is not advisable as the chemicals in perming agents strip the cuticles of its high levels of keratin ( a chemical produced naturally by the body – found in nails, skin and hair) Which builds a coat around the scalp to strengthen hair cuticles. By perming the hair you can make it brittle and less durable.

3. Wash the hair at least once a week, black hair products are not recommended as this hair is not from black origins. To keep the curly hair looking its best always braid into 5 or 6 singles plaits before bed and wash the hair twice a week to remove traces of serums and oils so it does not look overworked with products.
