Before your new hair arrives
Your next look begins with the hair beneath it. Explore our founder's natural hair preparation guide for cleansing, conditioning, gentle detangling, nighttime protection, and installation planning.
Protect the Hair You Invested In
Raw human hair performs best with gentle, consistent care. Treat your ZYRA hair the way you would treat healthy natural hair.
Wash
Use a gentle moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Clean the hair when product buildup is present rather than washing excessively. Rinse thoroughly and avoid rough rubbing or bunching.
Detangle
Work from the ends upward using your fingers or a wide tooth comb. For wave and curl textures, detangle while the hair is damp and conditioned whenever possible.
Dry
Air drying is preferred when possible. If you use a blow dryer, keep heat moderate and use a heat protectant.
Heat Styling
Raw hair can be heat styled, but repeated high heat can shorten the life of the hair. Use a heat protectant and avoid unnecessary passes with hot tools.
Night Care
Wrap, braid, or loosely secure the hair before bed and use a satin or silk bonnet, scarf, or pillowcase to reduce friction and tangling.
Color
Raw hair can often be professionally colored. Because color processing changes the hair, we recommend using an experienced stylist and performing a strand test first.
