Celebrating Your Kinky Coils: A Complete Guide to Caring for our Onye Texture Hair

If you're a blūm beauty with gorgeous kinky coils, you know your hair is unique – just like you!

At blūm, we celebrate every curl pattern, and our Onye texture is designed specifically to complement your kinks and coils.

Whether you're caring for your natural hair or styling our blūm Onye extensions, this guide is here to help you keep your hair healthy, moisturized, and absolutely stunning.

Understanding Onye Texture

blūm's Onye texture is our kinkiest, coiliest option, designed to seamlessly blend with 4B-4C hair types. This texture is characterized by:

• Tight, springy, fluffy kinky coils
• A mix of zig-zag and s-shaped curls
• A beautifully delicate structure that requires gentle care

Essential Hair Care Tips for Kinky Coily Hair

• Use a moisturizing, sulfate-free shampoo.
• Deep condition your hair regularly.
• Consider using a leave-in conditioner or light oil for moisture when needed.

• Detangle your hair with a conditioner for extra slip.
• Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to work out knots gently.
• Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots.

• Try twists, braids, or buns, but avoid excessive tension.
• Use satin or silk scarves and pillowcases to reduce friction.
• Learn more protective styling tips from our blog post on headband wigs.

• Use a diffuser or blow-dry your hair on a low heat setting.
• If you must use heat, always apply a heat protectant.
• Try heatless styling methods like twist-outs or braid-outs.

Caring for Your blūm Onye Extensions

• Gentle Cleansing: Use a sulfate-free shampoo and lukewarm water. Gently massage the hair in a downward motion, avoiding rubbing or tangling.
• Conditioning: Apply a moisturizing conditioner from weft to ends. Leave on for 2-5 minutes before rinsing.
• Rinse: Rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out any excess water.
• Moisturize: Lightly spray your extensions with a moisturizing leave-in conditioner spray.
• Air Drying: Allow your extensions to air dry flat on a clean towel. Avoid wringing or rubbing the hair.
• Styling: Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to style. Apply lightweight, water-based products to define the curls without weighing down the hair.
• Storage: When not in use, store your Onye extensions in your blūm Beauty Tote or clutch to protect them from tangling and any unwanted environmental elements.
