Vietnamese hair is highly prized for its naturally thick strands, brilliant shine, and incredible durability. Because it's typically sourced as raw, coarse hair, it holds up beautifully to heat and styling, but keeping that premium quality intact requires the right maintenance routine.

To keep your raw Vietnamese hair bundles silky and tangle-free, hydration is key. Wash them weekly using a sulfate-free, moisture-rich shampoo followed by a deep conditioning treatment. When detangling, always start from the ends and gently work your way up to the roots with a wide-tooth comb to prevent shedding.

When it comes to styling, less is more. Vietnamese hair straightens to a flawless, glass-like finish and holds bouncy curls for days, but you should always apply a lightweight heat protectant before using any hot tools. At night, protect your investment by wrapping the hair in a silk scarf or a satin scarf, or sleeping on a satin pillowcase. Treat these bundles like your own natural hair, and they will easily last you one to three years while maintaining their gorgeous, healthy bounce.
