Curly organic hair is the name given to the natural biovegetal fiber that is the basis of this type of hair extension. Even though it's called that, it's not made with real hair! Organic threads are generally used to assemble wigs, braids or removable extensions, which are attached to clips. Compared to synthetic hair, they have advantages because of their more natural appearance: you know that extension that you have to look very closely to realize it's not the person's hair? So this is it! To learn more about organic curly hair and find out how to extend the useful life of this fiber in use, stay tuned: today Fica Diva will tell you everything!

Organic curly hair: the care routine can be the same as your natural hair

One of the main advantages of betting on the organic curly hair extension is that it can receive the same types of care that you would have with your natural hair. The frequency of washing, for example, will depend on the number of times the extension or wig is used. Still, it is recommended that curly organic hair be cleaned with shampoo and conditioner at least once a week.

During washing, you can and should invest in hydration mask care. Even if it is not possible to replace the water in the appliqués, these processes will have an effect, keeping the strands more aligned, shiny and healthy looking. In the case of extensions that are used in the middle of your natural hair, it is also worth betting on hair nutrition and reconstruction.

Can I use a flat iron on curly organic hair?

This is a very common question for owners of organic hair extensions — and one of the main advantages of this type of artificial fiber. Organic hair can, yes, have its structure modified with heat tools in general, such as flat irons, dryers and curling irons. One detail that you cannot leave aside at this moment is the temperature limit of the devices: it must not exceed 200ºC, ok?

Curly organic hair can receive specific care

In addition to the possibility of conventional treatment, with hydration, nutrition and capillary reconstruction, organic curly hair can also receive simple and practical care that makes all the difference in its useful life. 

Over time, it's common to feel that the strands of your short or long curly organic hair become more porous and heavy. This problem is solved by applying two drops of glycerin or hair oil exclusively to the artificial locks. Then pass the hair dryer so that the temperature helps seal the strands and that's it: your extensions will look brand new!
