Q1: Short Hairs/Frayed Hair Residue

How do I fix this?

Comb through the extensions immediately after unboxing using a wide-tooth comb (or a loop brush for extra care).

Trim any noticeably short hairs with sharp hair scissors.

Apply hair oil or anti-frizz spray to smooth down frayed strands.

A small amount of naturally shorter hairs may remain from production. Friction during shipping can also cause minor breakage.

Before leaving the factory, each product goes through three rounds of manual screening (visual inspection, brushing tests, and weight verification) to keep the amount of naturally shorter hairs under 0.3%.

If the short hair issue is severe after you’ve tried the steps above, we offer returns, exchanges, or compensation.

Q2: Thin Appearance of Hair Volume

How do I fix this?

Choose a higher-density style if you have fine or thin natural hair:

95g – for light volume

120g+ – for noticeably fuller look

Position the wire closer to the middle or lower part of your head (near the roots of your natural hair), then blend it layer by layer using a comb.

Use a curling wand to add soft waves – curls create instant body and fill visible gaps.

Trim split ends regularly to prevent frizzy ends from making the hair look thinner.

Standard weight extensions often look thin on users with naturally thick or long hair. Improper positioning can also cause uneven blending, leaving visible gaps.

Q3: Deformation After Washing

Vigorous rubbing or scrubbing during washing. Using shampoos/conditioners with sulfates or strong chemicals strip natural oils will make hair brittle. Also, rough towel drying, excessive wringing, or high-heat blow-drying will damage the hair.

Vigorous rubbing, sulfates, or high heat strip natural oils and break down the hair’s protein structure, making it brittle and prone to losing its shape.
