How do I care for my Wig?
- Proper care of your hairpiece will keep it looking healthy and new for as long as possible. As a general guideline, you should wash your hairpiece every 10 to 15 wearings. Allowing styling products and dirt to accumulate will make your hairpiece dull and rough looking. Regular conditioning will keep your hairpiece shiny and protect it from damage.
- Use shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for synthetic fiber. Regular shampoos are too harsh and can dry out the fiber, leaving you with a brittle hairpiece. Wig conditioners coat and protect synthetic fiber, leaving it shiny and preventing damage and color fading.
- Fill a sink or basin with cool water and mix in a capful or two of shampoo. Immerse your hairpiece and let it soak for five minutes.
- Gently swish the hairpiece back and forth, then rinse with cool water until all the shampoo is removed.
- Gently swish the hairpiece back and forth, then remove from water WITHOUT RINSING.
- Refill the sink or basin with cool water and mix in a capful or two of conditioner. Immerse your hairpiece and let it soak for two minutes.
- Gently blot with a towel. It's a good idea to spray your piece with a leave-in wig conditioner. Allow your hairpiece to air dry on a wig stand (a hairspray can work in a pinch). You can hang add-on pieces on a hanger. DO NOT USE HEAT to dry your hairpiece. This will melt the fiber. DO NOT comb or brush the hairpiece until it is completely dry.
- When dry, gently shake your hairpiece, then style as usual.
