🧬 UNDERSTANDING KANEKALON FIBER
🔬 What is Kanekalon?
Kanekalon is a high-quality premium synthetic fiber, specially designed for protective hairstyles. Unlike classic synthetic fibers, Kanekalon offers:
✅ Unique Advantages:
•Natural texture similar to Afro hair
•Superior resistance to friction and wear
•Hypoallergenic - suitable for sensitive scalps
•Anti-odor - does not absorb bad odors
•Easy to maintain - less tangling than other fibers
•Heat resistant up to 180°C (with caution)

 

⚠️ Specifics to Respect:
•Do not over-wash - risk of frizz and tangles
•Avoid greasy products - they accumulate on the fiber
•No brushing - risk of breakage and fraying
•Air drying is preferred to preserve the texture
