How to Refresh & Reuse Your Prelooped Human Hair Braids: Maximize Your Install

You’ve invested in 100% human hair Boho Braids - soft, natural, and prelooped for fast install. But did you know you can reuse that same hair for multiple installs?

Unlike synthetic packs that frizz up after a week, CoilycueHair’s human hair bundles are designed to last. And with the right refresh routine, you can stretch each set across 3+ installs - saving money and keeping your style fresh every time.

Here’s exactly how to refresh and reuse your prelooped human hair braids for maximum wear.

🧼 Step 1: Gently Remove Without Snagging

When you're ready to take down your install, be patient. The way you remove the hair impacts whether you can reuse it.

Tips for a clean takedown:

• Detach one braid at a time from the loop

• Use your fingers (not scissors) to separate hair from cornrows

• Avoid pulling or yanking - especially near the root

• Place each piece aside neatly or clip into sections as you go

Optional: Pre-soak the hair in conditioner water if it feels dry from wear.

💧 Step 2: Clean and Condition the Hair

Before storing or reinstalling, your human hair crochet pieces need a refresh - just like your natural hair.

How to clean reused crochet hair:

1. Fill a bowl or sink with cool water

2. Add a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo

3. Soak the hair for 5–10 minutes

4. Rinse and follow with a lightweight conditioner

5. Detangle gently with fingers - no combs

6. Rinse again and lay flat to dry on a towel

7. Let air dry completely (no heat drying recommended)

🌀 Step 3: Reshape the Curl Pattern (Optional)

After a few weeks of wear and wash, some curls may need a little encouragement. But no worries — human hair bounces back beautifully.

How to reshape the curls:

• Use perm rods or flexi rods on damp strands

• Apply a light curl mousse or setting spray

• Let air dry or steam lightly for long-lasting shape

• Remove rods and separate curls gently with your fingers

This gives your reused braids that Day 1 bounce - no hot water or synthetic tricks needed.

🧴 Step 4: Reinstall Like New

Once refreshed, your bundles are ready for their next install.

Best practices:

• Use 5–6 packs for full density

• Blend trimmed pieces with new bundles (if needed)

• Focus older pieces on the back or bottom layers

• Add fresh ones at the crown or front for maximum visual impact

Most customers get 4+ installs per set of CoilycueHair Boho Braids - and some even more with gentle handling.

📦 How to Store Refreshed Human Hair Braids

Not reinstalling right away? Store them the right way to preserve softness.

• Coil the bundles loosely

• Place in a satin or mesh bag (never plastic)

• Store in a cool, dry drawer away from dust and moisture

• Label by length or curl pattern if you have multiple textures
