The Right Way to Wash & Refresh Hair Bundles | StarHair Care Guide
At StarHair, we carry the most diverse selection of textures - from silky ST (Straight) to bouncy BW (Body Wave), defined DC (Deep Curly), and kinky KC (Kinky Curly). No matter which of our 10+ curl patterns you choose (ST, BW, DW, DC, WW, KC, KST, LW, OW, BC), proper washing keeps them looking fresh and lasting longer.
Step 1: Prep Your Bundle
Different textures need different approaches:
-
Straight: Comb through before wetting
-
BW/DW: Finger-detangle first
-
KC/KST: Soak in lukewarm water 5 mins first
Step 2: Gentle Cleansing
Water Temperature Guide:
-
ST/LW: Cool water (prevents loosening)
-
BW/WW: Warm water
-
KC/DC: Warm-to-hot (opens cuticles)
Washing Technique:
-
Mix mild shampoo (we recommend sulfate-free) in bowl of water
-
Swish bundle gently for 30 seconds
-
Rinse under gentle water stream
-
Repeat only if very dirty
Step 3: Condition Based on Texture
Our Texture-Specific Tips:
Texture | Conditioning Method | Drying Technique |
---|---|---|
ST/SW | Lightweight conditioner | Air dry flat |
BW/WW | Leave-in 5 mins | Microfiber plop |
DC/BC | Deep condition 10 mins | Diffuse dry |
KC/KST | Heavy conditioner 15 mins | Air dry stretched |
Pro Tip: For DW (Loose Wave) and OW (Ocean Wave), twist sections while damp to enhance pattern.
Step 4: Perfect Drying Methods
Straight:
-
Pat dry with microfiber
-
Hang to dry completely
-
Lightly flat iron if needed
Body Wave:
-
Scrunch with t-shirt
-
Air dry or diffuse
-
Finger-coil a few pieces for definition
Curly:
-
Apply styling gel while wet
-
Stretch dry or braid dry
-
Shake out when 100% dry
Texture Refresh Between Washes
Revive your bundles without washing:
-
For ST: Steam refresh with distilled water
-
For BW/WW: Spritz water+conditioner mix
-
For KC/DC: Dampen hands with oil and scrunch
