We have compiled some tips to help extend the life of your accessories so that they bring you joy for many years.

TEXTILE
Why can horn change shape?
Horn is not a flat material, but a round one, it bends and twists. To make a flat piece of horn, we heat the horn and flatten it, depriving it of its natural shape. If the horn is subsequently heated or dried, for example, it was in the sun or near a heater or even room temperature, then the horn may start to bend back to its natural shape, meaning it may bend and deform.
10% of flat horn products will return to their natural shape within the first year. This is a natural process that does not affect the functionality of the products.
METAL
Hairmates metal accessories are gold-plated or silver-plated. Therefore, the care rules are similar to recommendations for caring for jewelry.
