Wig Care

 

  • To wash your synthetic wig, fill sink with cool water, add shampoo, agitate with hand to create soapy water. Dip wig in and out three or four times.
  • To rinse, hold the wig under the faucet and let water run through the mesh base. Rinsing in this direction will prevent the hair from tangling inside the mesh base.
  • To dry, simply roll the wig in a towel and blot dry. Remove and shake gently. Spray with setting lotion, turn inside out and allow to dry on a wig stand.
  • When completely dry on wig stand, arrange curl pattern with your fingers.
  • Wash your wig at least every other week; weekly when wig styling sprays are used.
  • Condition wig every other time you shampoo, and use only a conditioner specially formulated for wigs.
  • Only use water soluble hair spray specially formulated for wigs—lacquer sprays will coat the wig. Use wig sheen when needed to restore shine.
  • Do not use hair dryers, curling irons or hot rollers on your synthetic wig. Sponge or brush rollers can be used.
  • Use a plastic, wire or natural bristle brush. Light short strokes give the best styling results, where as heavy brushing “packs” the hair fibers.
  • Avoid direct heat or steam from stove, oven or fire. Consider wearing a turban while cooking to avoid singeing the wig.
  • When not wearing your wig, place it on a wire stand so the shape will stay intact. The wire stand also allows the wig to air out.
  • To preserve the styling, we suggest you not wear you wig while sleeping.
