MUKA Hair Extensions - Lock Twist
Sustainable Beauty, Rooted in Heritage
Muka Hair Extensions is a one-of-a-kind, eco-conscious hair extension crafted from muka—the delicate fibres of Harakeke (New Zealand flax/Phormium Tenax). Drawing inspiration from the traditional Māori “miro” process, where muka is softened, twisted, and spun by hand, these extensions celebrate cultural heritage while offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic hair.
With a texture that mimics natural hair, Muka hair extensions are durable, biodegradable, and reusable—making them as gentle on the planet as they are versatile for your style.

Muka Hair Extensions are available in two convenient options:
Full Head Set: 74 Small/Medium individual strands of twisted Muka hair extensions.

Your Muka Hair bundle also includes a mixed selection of hair jewels, a satin bonnet and scissors for maintenance.
Muka Hair comes in its natural form—raw / white—and can be coloured if desired.
Effortless to Use, Effortless to Love
Designed to be braided directly into your natural hair, Muka Hair Extensions seamlessly blend with your style. Treat them as your own—gently wash, and condition just as you would with your natural hair. And when it’s time for a change, simply remove, trim away stray fibers and reinstall whenever you like.
Celebrate your individuality with Muka Hair Extensions—a Beautiful fusion of tradition, sustainability, and modern styling.

Haircare is crucial when you have extensions to prevent matting or tangling. Daily brushing is essential for maintaining your hair's health. Stimulating hair growth is beneficial, and you can do so by exfoliating your scalp with an exfoliator or gentle brushing. Take the opportunity to nurture your hair's well-being. Begin with a clarifying shampoo, followed by a nourishing mask. Allow the mask to rest and work its magic. This preparation ensures that your hair is strong and healthy enough to withstand the effects of heat styling and the addition of extensions, while also making maintenance easier.

Please be advised that upon purchase, this product is made from natural fibers, which differ from both human and synthetic hair. As a natural material, it is normal for shedding to occur, akin to the natural shedding of human hair. On average, individuals shed between 50 to 100 of their own hairs daily. Therefore, expect some slight shedding of both natural hair after removal of protective style and when handling the plant fibers upon gentle installation.
- Harakeke Plant Hair extensions are currently handcrafted individually from start to finish to ensure the highest quality and longevity of product life for use. Please keep in mind that because all adornments are handmade and individually unique, therefore no two plaits / weaving bundles will look the same. Slight variations in length, diameter or colour should be expected.
