The proper care of your wig will keep it looking new. Most women prefer to have more than one wig, not only to alternate hair styles, but to allow time for cleaning and drying. To take care of your wig, follow these simple instructions:
How to care for your Human Hair Wig
- Before washing, gently brush out all the tangles and hair spray residue. For wigs with a tight curl, do not brush, use fingers and gently remove tangles
- Use a mild shampoo. In a sink or basin, add a small amount of shampoo to cold water and immerse wig. Gently swirl and let soak for approximately 5 minutes.
- Rinse the wig gently in cold water until all of the shampoo is removed. Rinse twice. Gently apply conditioner through the wig and leave on for 2 minutes to allow it to penetrate the hair.
- Rinse the wig gently in cold water in sink or basin.
- Wrap the wig in a towel and gently pat out excess water
- Place clean wig on a wig stand and allow to air dry thoroughly before brushing or combing.
How to care for your Synthetic Wig
- Before washing, gently brush out all the tangles and hair spray residue. For wigs which have a tight curl, do not use brush. Finger pick wig thoroughly and gently remove tangles.
- Use wig shampoo specially formulated for synthetic wigs. In a sink or basin, mix 2 capfuls of shampoo with cold water only, and immerse wig. Gently swirl and let soak for 5 minutes.
- Rinse the wig gently in cold water until all shampoo is removed. Then apply 1 - 2 capfuls of wig conditioner. Allow the fibers to absorb the conditioner for about 2 minutes.
- Rinse the wig gently in cold water until all of the conditioner is removed. Wrap the wig in a towel and gently pat out excess water. Do not rub. Spritz a revitalizing conditioner over the entire surface of hair. This will further condition the wig fibers.
Note: Your wig should be washed after 10 - 14 wearings.
Important: To prevent fiber damage, do not use a hair dryer, curling iron or other drying aids and keep wigs away from all sources of excess heat or open flame (eg. stoves, ovens, barbecues, cigarette lighters).
- Place your clean wig on a wig stand and allow the wig to thoroughly air dry. Do not brush or comb the wig until completely dry. When dry, use a wig brush or hair pick to gently restore styling.
- To give additional styling support and to add shine and body to your wig, spray entire hair surface with finishing spray.
