Kinkgenetics drawstring ponytails are 100% virgin human hair and is for 4A-4B naturalistas. 4A-4B is tightly coiled hair that has an "S" or "Z" pattern.  The circumference of the spirals is close to that of a crochet needle. This hair type often experiences shrinkage up to 75% of its actual hair length. KinkGenetics comes in its natural color - #1b which is blackish/brown.

All hair is measured straight. This means you lose about 4 inches. For example, 16 inches is 16 inches when straight, but 12 inches with the curl pattern.

Maintenance and Recommended Products: KinkGenetics does require more maintenance because of the tight curl pattern. To preserve the hair and ensure longevity, finger combing is suggested. If you choose to comb the extensions, use a wide tooth comb (preferably a detangling brush) and start from the ends then work your way up. Co-wash the hair weekly/biweekly. Apply HydraLuxe Extreme Moisturizing Conditioner generously to wet hair from root to tip then rinse thoroughly.  After co-washing, spray a generous amount of Mega Moisture Leave-In Condish throughout your fresh, clean hair. Seal in moisture with HydraLuxe Growth & Anti-Itch Serum. Apply directly to the scalp and/or extensions. Define curls and add moisture with HydraLuxe Moisturizing Enhancer Gel. Style as desired.

If/when there is product build up, use HydraLuxe Gentle Refining Shampoo to cleanse extensions and scalp. Apply a quarter size amount of HydraLuxe Gentle Refining Shampoo to your extensions. Cover evenly throughout your hair and scalp.
