Essential Tips for Keeping Your Wig Beautiful

Daily Care 💫

• 🔁 Gently shake your wig before wearing to restore its natural volume.
• 👤 Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to detangle, starting from the ends and working upward.
• ⛔ Avoid combing your wig when wet, as this can cause fiber damage.
• ⚡ Keep your wig away from sources of heat (ovens, open flames, hairdryers, curling irons, or straighteners).

Washing Instructions 💧

• 🛁 Wash every 8–12 wears or when buildup is visible.
• 🧼 Fill a basin with cool water and add a small amount of synthetic wig shampoo.
• 🧾 Submerge the wig and gently swirl for 1–2 minutes. Do not rub or twist.
• 🧽 Rinse thoroughly in cool water.
• 🛀 Apply synthetic wig conditioner if desired, rinse again in cool water.
• 🛑 Gently blot excess water with a towel. Do not wring.
• 🏁 Place the wig on a wig stand to air dry completely. Make sure the lace front is not folded or creased.  Avoid direct sunlight.

Styling & Storage 👗

• 🦴 Style only with fingers or tools specially designed for synthetic wigs.
• 🚮 Use wig-safe sprays and products. Standard hair products may damage the fibers.

Heat Styling Instructions 🔥

Heat-Friendly Fibers

 

Heat-friendly fibers will begin to frizz, stiffen, and clump over time.  Heat must be applied to maintain the softness and life of the fibers.  Always start with a clean, dry or slightly damp, and detangled wig.

 

🪄 For heat-friendly synthetic wigs, use only low to medium heat settings—never exceed manufacturer’s recommendations or 350°F (180°C), whichever is lower

🫧 Always ensure the wig is clean and dry before applying heat.

👩🔬 Section the hair and style only small portions at a time, using a flat iron, curling wand, or blow dryer designed for synthetic fibers.

🧊 Allow each styled section to cool completely before touching or re-styling to help set the shape.

🫙 Consider using a heat protectant spray formulated for synthetic hair, if available, or spritz with water.

🔍 Test heat on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure safe results.

 

Non Heat-Friendly Fibers

 

🌫️ Use a handheld steamer designed for synthetic hair to refresh and smooth your wig—never use direct heat tools.

🚫 Do not use flat irons, curling wands, or blow dryers on non heat-friendly wigs, as high temperatures can damage the fibers.

🫧 Place the wig on a mannequin head or wig stand to maintain its shape while steaming.

↘️ Hold the steamer about 6–8 inches away from the hair and gently move it along the length to release tangles, eliminate frizz, or reshape curls.

👐 Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to gently style the wig while it is still damp with steam.

🕒 Allow the wig to air dry completely before wearing or further styling.

⚠️ Always test steam on a small, hidden section first to check for any adverse reaction.
