Wig & Hair Maintenance
Q: How should I care for my wig?
A:
Daily Wear
-
Place your wig on a mannequin head or satin hanger when not in use to maintain shape.
-
If wearing daily, use a bonet or satin pillow case to protect your hair while you sleep.
Washing
How often: every 10–15 wears or when product buildup is visible.
-
Detangle before washing.
-
Wet the hair with lukewarm water (never hot).
-
Apply sulfate-free shampoo and glide downward in one direction — do not rub or swirl.
-
Rinse thoroughly.
-
Apply moisturizing conditioner from mid-shaft to ends.
-
Let conditioner sit 3–5 minutes, then rinse in cool water.
-
Pat & squeeze dry with a microfiber towel only (no rubbing).
Avoid conditioner directly on the lace to prevent premature shedding.
Drying
-
Air dry whenever possible but blow drying is perfectly fine.
-
Don’t sleep in the wig until it is fully dry.
Styling
-
Heat tool styling is fine but not excessively. Excessive heat tool styling will cause damage and shorten the lifespan of your wig.
-
Always use a heat protectant spray.
-
Avoid heavy oils; opt for lightweight serums.
Sleeping
-
If you must sleep in your unit:
-
Braid or wrap the hair.
-
Use a satin bonnet or silk pillowcase.
-
Storage
-
Store on mannequin head or in satin box away from direct sunlight.
Do Not
-
Do not scratch lace with nails, comb tip, or edge brush bristles.
-
Do not swim in saltwater or chlorine without full protection (swim cap + immediate wash and lots of conditioner).
Longevity Notes
Your wig can last 1–3 years with proper care depending on:
-
Frequency of wear
-
Heat styling habits
-
Product buildup & cleansing routine
-
