📆 Week One With Your MYPART: What to Expect & How to Keep Her Cute

The MYPART is low maintenance, not no maintenance  just like a soft life, she still needs a lil upkeep to keep it cute.

Your "MYPART" is fresh off the install chair, so sis, give her a minute to settle in. This first week is all about breaking her in gently while keeping her laid and blended. You might notice a lil frizz, a flyaway, or she might act a little stiff  that’s normal. She’s just adjusting to her new home (aka your scalp).

Here’s what to do (and what not to do):

Flat Iron Wisely:
You might need to pass a flat iron just over the MYPART section once or twice to help her lay. You don’t have to flat iron your whole head boo. Only the part.

Blend, Don’t Battle:
If your MYPART isn’t flowing just yet, give her a little help. A bit of detangling or smoothing will have her melting into the bundles. If she’s curly or wavy, dampen her first before you comb we don’t do dry drama.

Minimal Touching:
You don’t need to “check on her” every hour. Over-manipulation = buildup and frizz. Let her breathe, pooh.

Nighttime Check-In:
Before bed, smooth her out and tuck her away under a silk scarf. That lil bedtime routine keeps her fresh in the morning, no touch ups needed.

🔑 Reminder:
This week sets the tone. If you’re rough, lazy, or neglectful it will show.
But if you show her a little intentional love early on?
She’ll stay cute, undetectable, energy until retouch day.

Raw Cambodian Hair 101

Cambodian hair is that thick, raw, rich auntie energy.
It’s RAW and real , not the corn chip smelling stuff. That means:

Frizz is normal. Dryness is not.

Big Sis Tips:

Use leave-in + Serum for wavy or curly textures. Don’t run your fingers through curly hair until it’s 100% dry, girl she will give you frizz for days!

If straight, use a blow dryer brush + serum to smooth it

This hair can handle heat, curls, silk presses, or be worn natural, but remember:

RAW hair = real care. It’s a vibe, not a quick fix.

🚫 What NOT To Do

1. Don’t sleep wild.
Wrap it up, boo! Your MYPART deserves silk, not chaos. A scarf or bonnet keeps your install laid, protected, and looking like Day 1 even on Day 25.

2. Don’t overdo it with product buildup.
Caking on edge control, oils, and serums will have your MYPART looking like glue and gunk. Keep it clean and breathable for that “wait, is that her scalp?” illusion.

3. Don’t skip your retouch.
This technique is made to last a certain amount of time. Pushing past 5–6 weeks can turn your MYPART into a mystery part, and baby, we don’t want that.

4. Don’t compare it to other installs.
This is in a league of its own. The MYPART is not a closure, not a leaveout, and definitely not a lace. It’s a lifestyle. Respect the category.

5. Don’t let everybody touch it.
Your homegirl don’t need to "see how it’s in there." Too much pulling, poking, or “lemme see” energy will shift your install or mess up the technique. Hands off, period.. This ain’t a group project, it's your crown.

6. Don’t skip dry shampoo.
Bae, this right here? It’s the game changer. Cambodian hair LOVES a lil’ dry shampoo to revive and bring back the bounce. Use a generous amount, comb it through, and watch it flow like new. Your bundles gon’ thank you.

Retouches & Wear Time

Retouches: Every 4–6 weeks (found under “Mypart Retouch” on the booking page)
Max Wear: 3 months with 2 retouches
After that? It’s takedown time, sis.

🛏️ Sleep Care: How to Wake Up Flat & Layed

Girl, this is non-negotiable.

Every night, wrap your "Mypart" section directly with a silk or satin scarf.

Then and only then can you toss your bonnet on top.
Do NOT skip the scarf and rely on a bonnet alone. That’s how you wake up with a hump, and we don't fight humps, we prevent them.

Sleep Order:

1. Scarf on the "MYPART"

2. Bonnet on top (optional)

3. Wake up still THAT girl 😌

YES! You can take her outside,  just don’t wild out in the waves, boo.

If swimming: try to keep the" Mypart" dry, but if the water is just calling you, just be careful how you wash the part. Wash extensions gently afterwards. Do not scrub your part like it stole something.. Detangle and air dry when possible. oh and use lots of conditioner!

✂️ Here’s How To Remove Your MYPART Like a Pro:

1. Start with the tracks:
   Take out every single bundle, don’t leave even one. 

2. Remove the net:
   Snip carefully and slide it out.

3. Unbraid gently:
   Start undoing your foundation braids, but leave the two MYPART braids for last.

4. Now the MYPART’s left staring at you.
   (This part is not your real hair, boo.)

5. Spray her down.
   Use a spray bottle to fully soak the MYPART section. Make her juicy. This softens the strands and makes the takedown smoother.

6. Snip the MYPART short.
   Yes, girl, cut it down to about 2 inches. Trust the process.

7. Unbraid the two MYPART braids.
   Take your time, this part is delicate.

8. Gently comb the MYPART hair out.
   Start from the ends, work your way up. You’ll see some shedding, that’s the MYPART hair coming out, not your real hair, don’t panic.

✅ Some shedding (totally normal)

💬 Final Word from MYPARTQUEEN 

This install will have strangers thinking you just got your hair done every damn week, but only if you treat her right.
Wrap it. Brush it. Moisturize that scalp. Retouch it. Then repeat.

Now go be a baddie and don’t sleep raw on that pillow, okay? 💋
