10 Minutes a Day for Extensions That Last 5 Years
Do you think that maintaining Raw Hair extensions requires hours of complicated care? Wrong.
The truth: a simple 10-minute daily routine is all it takes to keep your extensions looking beautiful for 3 to 5 years.
No complex protocols. No dozens of products. Just 3 essential steps, morning and evening, that make all the difference.
In this guide, discover the minimalist and ultra-effective hair routine that allows our clients to make their Raw Hair extensions last up to 5 years.
Why 10 Minutes Are Enough
The 80/20 Principle
In hair care, 80% of the results come from 20% of the actions. These 20% of essential actions are:
- Daily brushing: Prevents 90% of knots
- Nighttime protection: Reduces friction by 90%
- Light hydration: Maintains shine and suppleness
Everything else (masks, serums, treatments) only accounts for 20% of the results. Important, but secondary.
What the Data Reveals
An internal NAHA HAIR study of 120 clients compared two groups:
- Group A: Simple 10 min/day routine → Average lifespan 4 years
- Group B: Complex routine 30 min/day → Average lifespan 4.2 years
Conclusion: The complex routine only adds 5% to lifespan for three times the time invested. The effort/result ratio is poor.
The Morning Routine: 5 Minutes Flat
Minutes 1-3: Gentle Brushing
Materials: Brush with wide bristles or wide-toothed comb
Technique:
- Start at the tips (never at the roots)
- Hold the section of hair above the area you are brushing.
- Brush in small sections of 5 cm
- Work your way up gradually towards the roots
- Be patient: never pull abruptly.
Why this is crucial:
- Remove small knots before they become big
- Distributes natural oils along the lengths of the hair.
- Stimulates scalp circulation
- Prepare your hair for the day
Mistake to avoid: Brushing from top to bottom in one go. This creates knots and breaks the hair.
Minute 4: Light Hydration
Product: Light moisturizing spray or dry oil
Technique:
- Spray 2-3 times on the lengths and ends (avoid the roots)
- Or: 1-2 drops of oil in your hands, rub together, apply
- Run your fingers through your hair to distribute it.
Homemade spray recipe (€3):
- 70% distilled water
- 30% vegetable glycerin
- 5 drops of lavender essential oil (optional)
Mix in a spray bottle, store for 2 months.
Why this is crucial:
- Reactivates hydration after the night
- Makes styling easier
- Provides instant shine
- Protects against pollution and the sun
Minute 5: Simple Hairstyling
Options according to your style:
- Loose hair: Run your fingers through it to add volume
- Ponytail: Use a satin scrunchie (never elastic).
- Braid: A loose braid for a casual look
- Bun: Low bun with satin scrunchie
Golden rule: Avoid hairstyles that are too tight and create tension points.
The Evening Routine: 5 Minutes Flat
Minutes 1-2: Nighttime Brushing
Same technique as in the morning:
- Start with the tips
- Go back up gradually
- Untangle all the small knots that have accumulated during the day
Why this is crucial:
- Remove knots BEFORE nighttime
- Prevents nighttime tangles
- Prepares hair for overnight protection
Tip: If you find a stubborn knot, apply a drop of oil to it before untangling.
Minute 3-4: Nighttime Hydration (2-3 times per week)
Product: Natural oil (argan, jojoba, avocado)
Technique:
- 2-3 drops in your hands
- Rub to warm up
- Apply to lengths and ends only
- Focus on the ends (the driest area).
Frequency :
- Dry hair: Every night
- Normal hair: 3 times a week
- Oily hair: twice a week
Why this is crucial:
- Seals in moisture overnight
- Deeply nourishes
- Prevents forks
- Maintains natural shine
Minute 5: Night Protection
3-step protocol:
- Protective hairstyle: Loose braid or low bun
- Soft fastening: Satin scrunchie (never elastic)
- Satin bonnet: Put on your bonnet for the night
Why this is THE key:
- Reduces friction by 90%
- Prevents 95% of nighttime knots
- Preserves hydration
- Maintains the hairstyle
Investment: Satin bonnet €15-25 + Satin scrunchies €10 = €25-35
ROI: +2 years lifespan = €300-600 saved
Weekly Routine: 30 Minutes (once a week)
Optimal Washing
Frequency according to the method:
- Clip-in extensions: Every 10-15 uses (2-3 weeks)
- Weaving: 1 time per week
- Tape-in: once every 10 days
- Keratin: once a week
Washing protocol (20 minutes):
- Pre-wash (2 min): Gently brush to remove knots
- Shampoo (5 min): Sulfate-free, pH 5.5, vertical up-and-down motion
- Conditioner (5 min): On lengths only, leave on for 3 minutes
- Rinse (3 min): Warm water followed by cold water to close the cuticles
- Drying (5 min): Pat dry with a microfiber towel (no friction)
Essential products:
- Sulfate-free shampoo: €12-25
- Nourishing conditioner: €15-30
- Microfiber towel: €10-15
Nourishing Mask (10 minutes, twice a month)
Protocol:
- Apply the mask to dry lengths of hair.
- Leave to stand for 20 minutes under a heated shower cap.
- Rinse with cold water
Result: +27% shine, +15% resistance

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I only have 5 minutes a day?
Focus on what matters:
- Morning: Quick brushing (2 min) + Moisturizing spray (30 sec)
- Evening: Brushing (2 min) + Satin bonnet (30 sec)
Result: 80% of the benefits of the complete routine.
Can I skip brushing my teeth in the evening?
No, it's the most important step. Without nighttime brushing, the small knots from the day become large knots overnight. The result: breakage and tangles.
Won't the oil make my hair greasy?
No, if you use the right amount (2-3 drops) and apply it only to the lengths and ends. Avoid the roots.
How long before I see results?
Immediate results: Fewer knots from day one
Visible results: Improved shine after 1 week
Long-lasting results: Extensions that last 3-5 years
