FAQS: Luxe Braiding Hair Collection

Updated 4 months ago by Latoya

What are the benefits of using Heat Free Hair's Luxe Braiding Hair versus synthetic hair for braided hairstyles?

Like all Heat Free Hair extensions, our Luxe Braiding Hair is made without harsh chemicals that offers a seamless and non-irritating installation compared to some synthetic braiding hair brands.
Our Luxe Braiding Hair is lightweight making the ability to wash and dry your braids more manageable and has less tension on your scalp.
Choosing to style your hair with our Luxe Braiding Hair will provide a stress free braiding experience that lasts! Synthetic hair tangles easily; making it harder to maintain and in most cases shortens how long your braided style can last.
Your beauty is always your best investment! Our Luxe Braiding Hair can be reused with proper styling and removal.
Customize a braid style that is unique to you! From color to volume, you can have an everyday, chic look for work and the gym or you can experiment with an ultra glam look for special occasions and vacations! Explore the possibilities with varying wet and dry style techniques!

How many bundles do I need for a full look?

Each bundle weighs approximately 100g. We recommend 3-4 bundles for natural volume and 5-7 bundles for full volume.

Pro tip: We recommend considering the size and length of your braiding styles as smaller styles may require additional bundles. We recommend consulting your stylist for additional guidance.

Which lengths do I need?

We offer our Boho Deep Wave braiding hair in 18” and 24” lengths.

1. For bob to mid-back length styles, we recommend the 18” length.

2. For lower back to hip length styles, we recommend the 24” length.

How long will my Luxe Braiding Hair last?

Our braiding hair will maintain the same high quality performance from installation to removal. While it is not recommended to keep any braid style installed for more than 8 weeks; our braiding hair can be reused with proper installation, care routine, and removal process!

Pro Tips:

1. Regularly wash and detangle the Boho Deep Wave Braiding Hair.
2. Detangle in sections to avoid shedding.
3. Sleep on a satin pillowcase and/or secure your braids with a satin scarf or bonnet at night.
4. Avoid heavy products like oil that can weigh down the hair.
5. Stay away from drying products with alcohol like gel.

How can I reuse my Boho Deep Wave Braiding Hair once it is removed?

Our Luxe Braiding Hair is made to last! Consider these tips to increase the longevity of your purchase:

1. Thoroughly wash and detangle your braids before you start the removal process.

2. Towel dry, unbraid, and loosen the human hair gently. It is important not to cut the human hair from the braid to avoid losing unnecessary length.

3. Neatly gather the removed pieces together and secure them with a hair band.

4. Once gathered and secured, co-wash, further detangle the hair, and let air dry.

5. Store in the original satin bag until your next installation.

Can I color my Boho Deep Wave Braiding Hair?

Our Luxe Braiding Hair is carefully colored by hand and freshly washed, to get you to your appointment with minimal effort and no prep time! It is not recommended to manipulate the color, so we thoughtfully chose a selection of colors to give you the perfect for any style you desire!
Pro-tip: You can blend multiple color options to create the desired color for your hair and skin tone!

Can I go swimming with the human hair braids?

Yes! Follow the tips below to keep your favorite summer style naturally beautiful without the fuss:
- It is recommended to detangle and moisturize your extensions first. Our Primestyle Multi-benefit Style Perfector and HD Curlbrush are the best options to prep your extensions in less time.
- If possible, cover your extensions with a swim cap or up in a pineapple before participating in swimming activities.
- If you fully saturate your hair during your swim session, be sure not to allow time for the extensions to dry as this may lead to tangling and matting.
- Thoroughly wash your extensions with a cleansing shampoo and detangle with a moisturizing conditioner.
- Dry your extensions and re-style with Curl Whipped Texture & Defining Mousse for full bodied waves and endless volume!
