Wig Care Guide

Washing Your Wig

Wash your wig every 7–10 wears, or when you notice product buildup. Over-washing can dry out the hair, while under-washing leads to tangling.

1. Detangle First Use a wide-tooth comb or fingers to gently remove tangles before getting the hair wet. Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots.
2. Prepare Your Wash Fill a basin with cool to lukewarm water. Add a small amount of sulfate-free shampoo designed for natural or treated hair.
3. Wash Gently Submerge the wig and gently swish it around. Do not rub or scrub the hair. Focus on the cap and hairline area where oils accumulate.
4. Rinse Thoroughly Rinse with cool water until all shampoo is removed. Gently squeeze (don't wring) excess water from the hair.
5. Condition Apply a moisturizing, sulfate-free conditioner from mid-length to ends. Avoid the roots and cap. Leave on for 3–5 minutes, then rinse with cool water.
6. Dry Properly Gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel. Place the wig on a wig stand and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.

Daily Maintenance

• Detangle daily: Use a wide-tooth comb or paddle brush designed for wigs. Always start from the ends and work upward.
• Store on a wig stand: This maintains the cap shape and prevents tangling when not in use.
• Protect at night: Either remove the wig or wrap it in a silk or satin scarf or bonnet to prevent friction and frizz.
• Minimize heat: European hair can handle heat styling, but always use a heat protectant spray and keep tools at 300°F or lower.
• Avoid over-styling: Too much product can cause buildup. Use lightweight serums and oils sparingly.

Styling Your Wig

Your European human hair wig can be styled just like your natural hair, but with a few considerations:

• Heat styling: Flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers are safe at 300°F or below. Always use heat protectant first.
• Parting: Your glueless wig offers versatile parting options. You can change your part by gently combing the hair in your desired direction.
• Cutting: Visit a professional stylist experienced with wigs for any cutting or layering. This preserves the integrity of the unit.
• Color: While you can color human hair wigs, we recommend consulting your colorist first to avoid damage. Darker shades are safer than lifting the color.
• Products: Lightweight mousses, setting sprays, and serums work best. Avoid heavy gels and waxes that cause buildup.

What to Avoid

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Tangling: Increase how often you detangle, use a leave-in conditioner, and ensure you're storing it properly on a stand.
• Dryness: Deep condition monthly with a moisturizing hair mask. Apply lightweight oil to the ends after washing.
• Frizz: Use an anti-frizz serum or silk/satin bonnet at night. Avoid touching the hair throughout the day.
• Shedding: Some shedding is normal initially. Excessive shedding means you may be brushing too roughly or using products that loosen the knots.
• Loss of curl pattern: Refresh with a curl cream and air dry, or use flexi-rods on damp hair for a heatless reset.
