How to care for your wig

Wash every 1–2 weeks or every 10–15 wears — not more. Over-washing strips moisture and shortens the wig’s life.

• Lukewarm water only. Hot water damages the hair and can melt synthetic fibres.
• Sulfate-free shampoo. Dilute it with water first, then apply in downward strokes — never scrub in circles.
• Follow the hair grain. Wash from cap to ends, the same direction the hair falls.
• No long soak of the lace. Fill a bowl and gently swish; don’t submerge the lace cap for long.

• Deep condition weekly. Apply conditioner or a hair mask from mid-length to ends — keep it off the lace and roots.
• Leave it in. Let the mask sit 5–10 minutes (a shower cap locks in warmth and penetration).
• Rinse cool. A cool final rinse seals the cuticle for extra shine and softness.
• Light oils for human hair. Argan, jojoba or almond oil on the ends restores moisture and prevents frizz.

• Blot, don’t rub. Press gently with a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt.
• Never wring. Squeezing twists the fibres and causes permanent crimps.
• Air dry on a stand. Place the wig on a mannequin head or wig stand to keep its shape while drying.
• Skip the heat. No hairdryers. If you must, use the cool setting on low.
• Never sleep on wet hair. Damp wigs tangle and mat beyond repair.

• Heat protectant, always. Spray liberally before any hot tool — non-negotiable for human hair.
• Keep heat low. Stay at or below 160°C for human hair; synthetic wigs should not be heat-styled at all.
• Comb cool. Let the hair cool completely before combing so the style sets and holds.
• Go easy on the edges. Avoid tight styles and heavy gel that stress the lace and damage the hairline.

• Store on a stand. A mannequin head or wig stand keeps the cap’s shape between wears.
• Braid or wrap it. Lightly braid or wrap long wigs before storing to stop tangling.
• Cool and dry. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity — a satin bag is ideal.
• Travel safe. Pack in a wig box or satin-lined bag; don’t squash it into luggage.
