How to Make Your Yummy Extensions Last for Years

Why Long-Lasting Hair Matters

When you invest in 100% raw, unprocessed human hair fromYummy Extensions, you’re not just buying bundles—you’re investing in confidence, convenience, and versatility. Proper care ensures your extensions:

  • Blend seamlessly with your natural hair or scalp
  • Offer the freedom to straighten, curl, or style as desired
  • Provide long-term value and fewer replacement purchases

But extensions can only work their magic if you work yours.That’s why we’re breaking down the best care routines by texture—from daily rituals to weekly maintenance—for every Yummy Girl.

Your Hair Texture, Your Routine: Daily & Weekly Care by Texture

Curly Hair Extensions

Textures: Raw Burma Curly, Raw Cambodian Curly Wave, Raw LAO Lush Curly

Daily Care:

  • Refresh curls witha water + conditioner mix in a spray bottle. We recommend Tresemmé Moisture Rich or Keratin Smooth Conditioner.
  • Use a Denman Brush (only on wet hair) to gently detangle and define curls. Avoid dry brushing to reduce frizz.
  • Lightly apply Proclaim Glossing Serum to mid-shaft and ends to reduce frizz and add shine.

Weekly Care:

  • Deep condition with Mielle Rosemary & Mint Hair Mask. Focus on hydrating curls from root to tip.
  • Detangle using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb while the conditioner is still in your hair.
  • Use theKOSA Professional Blow Dryer with diffuser attachment to enhance curl definition and gently dry the hair.

Pro Tip: To maintain defined ringlets, use Miss Jessie’s Pillow Soft Curls sparingly and only on soaking wet hair. Avoid applying leave-in conditioner directly to dry extensions to prevent buildup.

Wavy Hair Extensions

Textures: Raw LAO Wavy, Raw Cambodian Natural Wave, Raw Cambodian Wavy Elegance, Raw SEA Wavy Opulence

Daily Care:

  • Spray your waves with a water + conditioner mist every morning to awaken the texture.
  • Use theYummy Wavy Brush to gently brush through your hair from the ends up.
  • Smooth in a lightweight glossing serum like Proclaim Glossing Serum for shine without grease.

Weekly Care:

  • Cleanse your extensions withTresemmé Keratin Smooth Conditioner.
  • After washing, allow hair to air dry in a braid or twist for heatless definition.
  • Avoid brushing when the hair is dry—use fingers to preserve the natural wave pattern.

Pro Tip: Twist or braid your waves at night and secure with a satin scrunchie to keep texture intact and reduce frizz.

Straight Hair Extensions

Textures: Raw Cambodian Natural Straight, LAO Straight Blow Out

Daily Care:

  • Use theYummy Wavy Brush to detangle and maintain the sleek, smooth finish.
  • Wrap hair at night andcover with a silk scarf to maintain body and flow.

Weekly Care:

  • Shampoo withTresemmé Moisture Rich Conditioner to eliminate buildup and restore bounce.
  • Apply a light heat protectant before using hot tools.
  • Use the comb chase method with theKOSA Ceramic Infrared Styler to achieve a polished silk press finish.

Pro Tip: Use low heat when styling to maintain the integrity of your raw extensions and avoid oil-based products near the root to prevent slippage.

Tips to Extend the Life of Your Extensions

  • Wash on schedule: Stick to a weekly or 10-day wash routine depending on product buildup and climate.
