What decides lifespan
Cuticle alignment: hair with all cuticles facing the same way tangles far less.
How it was lightened: slow, low-strength lightening keeps strength; fast, strong bleaching shortens life.
Method and home care: Genius Wefts and K-tips worn with gentle products, low heat and regular maintenance last longest.
Several installs from one set
Good cuticle-aligned hair, cared for properly, is usually reused for several installs. Poorly processed hair often starts to matt after a few weeks, whatever the label says.
Care tips for clients
Use sulphate-free shampoo and a light conditioner on the lengths. Brush from the ends up. Use heat protection and keep tools below high heat. Sleep with hair loosely braided. Tone gently rather than re-bleaching.
Buyer Questions
Why did my Russian hair matt quickly?
Usually mixed cuticle direction or harsh lightening, sometimes hidden under silicone coating that washes off. Test hair after 5–10 washes before trusting a supplier.
