How bone straight hair is processed?
At BigG Hair’s factory, Vietnamese bone straight human hair is straightened by the “hot steam” method and some Vietnamese herbals.

How to unpack the hair in the right way?
Because of the shipment, including the packaging method and long delivery time, sometimes, bone straight hair bundles do not have the finest texture as we show in our photos/videos. So, how to unpack the hair bundles correctly?
Our tip is once you unbox the hair, let’s shake the bundles for a while since bone straight hair may become sloppy after the shipping process. By shaking the hair bundles, the tresses can return to their original texture.
