TIPS AND TRICKS

Avoid stretching or damaging the wig cap.

Manage tangles and matting.

Reduce shedding and frizz.

Restore Luster.

Step 1: Detangle

Before you wash:

  1. Make sure you carefully detangle the hair using a wide-tooth comb.
  2. Start from ends and work toward the root to decrease shedding; this does not apply to braided wigs.
  3. To Detangle braided wigs, use your hands as a comb and run it through the braids to detangle any tangled braids.

Step 2: Rinse

Use lukewarm water and rinse from roots to ends. Do not soak, as this can lead to tangling.

Tip: If your wig is curly, try leaving the hairnet when you rinse.

Step 3: Shampoo

Apply shampoo in your hands and work through the hair. Distribute a small amount of shampoo evenly throughout the hair.

Tip: Use circular motions to clean the cap.

Tips: DO NOT scrub with a brush as this will damage the hair.

Step 4: Condition

4a) For synthetic hair: Spray leave-in conditioner from the mid-shaft to the ends.

Tip: Avoid the root or knots

4b) For human hair: Leave in for a few minutes before rinsing. Do NOT apply conditioner to the root.

Tip: If your wig is dry or damaged, use a deep conditioner.

Step 5: Rinse

Let lukewarm water flow in the same direction of the hair to avoid tangling. Squeeze and press the hair; DO NOT wring.

Tip: Towel blot to remove excess water.

Step 6: Drying

6a) For synthetic hair: Air-dry on a folding wig stand.

Tip: Gently part the hair with a comb before the wig dries.

6b) For human hair: Blow dry about 80% and then round brush until smooth.

6c) For Braided wigs, DO NOT BRUSH. Dry your braid wigs outside in the open air under direct sunlight. If that’s not an option for you, use a blow dryer to dry your wig. That said, nothing comes close to daylight.
