A good human hair wig is an investment. With the right routine, it stays soft, shiny and beautiful for much longer. Here's a simple care guide.
Washing
- Wash when you notice product build-up, dullness or odour. How often depends on how often you wear it and how much product you use.
- Detangle gently before washing.
- Use lukewarm water and a sulphate-free shampoo. Smooth the shampoo downwards instead of scrubbing or bunching the hair.
- Follow with a moisturising conditioner from mid-lengths to ends, keeping it away from the lace and knots.
- Rinse thoroughly in a downward direction.
Drying
- Blot with a microfibre towel. Don't rub.
- Air-dry on a wig stand where possible. If you use a blow-dryer, use a heat protectant and low heat.
Detangling and styling
- Use a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends and working up to the roots.
- Always apply heat protectant before curling or straightening, and keep tools at a moderate temperature.
- Avoid heavy oils and too much product near the lace.
Protecting the lace
- Handle the lace gently. It's delicate.
- Remove adhesives carefully with a proper remover. Never pull the lace off.
- Try your unit on and plan your look before cutting the lace.
Storage and everyday habits
- Store on a wig stand or in a satin bag to keep its shape and reduce tangles.
- Avoid sleeping in your wig, or wear a satin bonnet or scarf if you must.
- Avoid chlorine and salt water, which can dry the hair out.
