QuestionCan you shower and use shampoo plus conditioner with a hair wrap in?Maura BehanCommunity AnswerIt's generally not recommended to shower with a hair wrap in, especially if you plan to use shampoo and conditioner. Most hair wraps aren't designed to handle water exposure, and getting them wet can make them lose their effectiveness or cause discomfort. If you're using a protective style or treatment that involves a hair wrap, it's best to remove it before showering and washing your hair.

QuestionHow do you take the hair wraps out?Elizabeth FoxCommunity AnswerFor the first and second methods, you can just cut the end of the thread (not the hair) and it should come undone easily if you tug gently at it. For the third and fourth methods, you will need to cut the end of the thread first and then untie the knots one by one. Do not give up if it takes some time, because it is much better to do it slowly and carefully than cut the whole lock of hair off.
