About The Basic Straight Hair Texture

Straight extension hair wave after washing The basic hair is only offered in straight but you will find the straight can be very similar in texture to a body wave after washing. Typically you can use either style to produce the same result. This means that if you have a slight wave to your hair when it dries naturally, you should have no problem using the Basic hair in straight and scruch-drying the extension hair to produce a blending wave to it.

Most of us have to style and work with our own hair to produce the result we want. The 100% human extension hair is the same. A flat iron, waving iron, curling iron all help to produce the look you are after and whether you end up with a body wave or straight hair.

If you need an actual curl to the extension hair, (whether yours is natural or from a perm) choose the Deepest Wave the Regal Remi Hair.

How much hair should I get?
Your ManeMaxx® Basic Starter Kit comes with 1 package (4 ounces) of extension hair. In many cases this is enough hair. In other cases, more hair will be neccessary for a nice, full, natural-looking install. Please review the list below to find out how much hair is best for you.

(Please note Basic kits DO NOT have a 2 ounce option.)

THIN TO AVERAGE: When 1 package of hair (total 4 ounces) is enough typically one of the following apply:

  • Your hair is long or thin
  • You are looking for volume only
  • You are purchasing 12 - 16 inch hair
  • You are purchasing wavy or curly hair
  • You have an average size head and are looking to add length and some volume
  • Your hair is average

AVERAGE TO THICK: When even more hair (another 4 ounces) should be added typically one of the following apply:

  • You are looking to add length and volume
  • Your hair is quite short
  • You have a large head or a lot of hair
  • Your hair is very thick or you are adding a ton of length
  • You want to stock up and have plenty of hair on hand
  • You are purchasing straight hair 18 to 20 inches and have shorter hair, shoulder length and above, to begin with

Getting Hair Ready To Install

TIP: How-to make ready-to-apply strands before installing.

Making hair extension strands
If you would like to prepare your bundles ahead of time, you can cut small 1/4 inch bundles, using the weft to keep the strands together, then..
Cutting hair extension bundles
When you are ready to apply you are REMOVING that piece of track to apply LOOSE STRANDS.
Sizing hair extension strands for attaching
LOOSE STRANDS ARE USED FOR INSTALLING. THERE IS NO WEFT ATTACHED TO THE HAIR BUNDLE YOU DIP AND APPLY.

Hair Extension Care

  • NEVER use a clarifying shampoo on the extension hair. Use gentle, non-sulfate cleansing only.

  • Use a shower filter for washing.

  • Condition lightly and rinse thoroughly.

  • Wash with your head tilted back only.

  • Rinse, rinse, rinse for clean hair and long lasting bonds!!

  • Don't brush your hair when it is wet. Wide-tooth comb only. Brush when dry.

  • Carefully pat your hair dry, NEVER rub or twist the hair extensions into a towel.

  • Wear a loose pony to sleep, swim and ride on a Harley.

  • NEVER sleep with wet or damp hair. Ever!

  • Remove the extensions from dry hair only.

  • To prepare the extension for re-use, break off as much bond from the end as you can, snip the tip just enough to have a clean, blunt edge, and redip for attaching. (Any leftover TemBond flakes will remelt when dipping into the warm bond.)
  • Please read full terms and agreement found here.

    Basic Starter Kits for Home Hair Extensions5 I loved the method

    Erin - 25th August 2008

    I did the Manemaxx install, and it was much easier than I thought, and I really had minimal problems with it. I think the hardest thing to figure out is the temp of the wax, is it too hot, too cold etc. I loved the method, but be prepared to spend at least a few hours doing the install, and someone to help with the back would be good too. I wore my MM install for about 2 months. (I did reinstall after a month or so). The MM hair also held up very well, and I washed my hair every day with it.
