By Hair68 – Your Trusted Vietnam Raw Hair Vendor
There is nothing quite like the feeling of fresh, high-quality Vietnamese raw hair fingers gliding through silky strands, effortless movement, and a flawless shine. But we have all been there: a few weeks pass, and suddenly that silky flow starts to feel stiff, dry, or worst of all, matted.
While investing in premium extensions from Hair68 is the first step to avoiding tangles, even the world’s best hair can’t survive poor maintenance. Often, it isn't the hair that fails, but the daily habits that quietly destroy it.
If you are fighting knots and dryness, you might be guilty of these ten common mistakes and the good news is, they are easy to fix.
The Shower Mistakes: Friction and Dryness
The tangling process often begins before you even step out of the shower.
The most frequent offense is using sulfate-heavy shampoos. Sulfates strip the hair of its natural moisture, leaving the cuticles raised and rough the perfect recipe for friction. Equally damaging is the habit of scrubbing the hair aggressively like you would your natural scalp. Bunching the hair up and rubbing it creates a bird's nest of tangles that is nearly impossible to undo without breakage.
Once out of the shower, resist the urge to rub your hair dry with a cotton towel. This rough motion disrupts the cuticle alignment. Instead, gently squeeze the water out. And perhaps the most critical error in this stage is skipping deep conditioner. Remember, extensions don't have a scalp to feed them oils; if you don't replenish that moisture manually, the hair becomes brittle, snaps, and tangles effortlessly.
The Styling Sins: Heat and Tools
How you handle your dry hair matters just as much. Many people make the mistake of detangling from root to tip. Dragging a comb from the top down forces knots to tighten at the ends, leading to severe shedding and matting. Always start from the ends and work your way up.
Another silent killer is product overload. Layering too many oils, sprays, and gels creates a sticky residue that attracts dirt and causes strands to clump together. This sticky buildup mimics the feeling of tangling and makes the hair unmanageable. Furthermore, excessive heat styling without protection will fry the hair cuticle over time. Once the texture is damaged by heat, no amount of brushing can make it smooth again.
The Nighttime and Lifestyle Hazards
Your routine while you sleep is the final frontier of hair care. The absolute cardinal sin of hair extensions is sleeping with wet hair. Damp hair is fragile, and tossing and turning on it creates severe matting at the roots that can sometimes be irreversible.
Even if your hair is dry, sleeping on a cotton pillowcase causes unnecessary friction. Cotton absorbs moisture from the hair and grips the strands as you move. Switching to a silk or satin bonnet allows the hair to glide smoothly. Finally, be wary of swimming without protection. Chlorine and saltwater are notoriously drying. Diving in without saturating your hair with fresh water or conditioner first allows these harsh elements to penetrate deep into the shaft, leaving you with a dry, tangled mess instantly.

At Hair68, we provide Vietnamese raw hair that is naturally resilient and aligned to resist tangling.

Avoid these ten traps, and your extensions will stay as soft and fluid as the day you bought them.
