Keep
you wig clean.
Synthetic wig are highly susceptible to pollution that
will give the wig a dull and clumpy look.
The elastic in the wig is also susceptible to
deterioration from perspiration and dirt.
-
Always
wash your wig in tepid water.
Remember excessive heat will change the life, look, and
curl of the fiber.
-
Always
condition your wig after every cleaning.
This will help keep the luster and provide protection
from heat and pollution.
-
Never
brush through your wig when wet.
You may run your fingers through the wig or use a wide
toothcomb. This is important to keep the original curl pattern
for as long as possible.
Remember that eventually the original curl pattern will
loosen.
-
Always
run your fingers through wig at the end of each wearing to
keep the piece free of tangles.
If you have purchased a longer wig this is extremely
important, as tangles will turn into knots that will be
impossible to remove later on.
-
Keep
in mind that the purchase of either a curlier or longer wig
will provide a shorter life span.
-
Never
place wig on a form to dry or store.
This will alter the internal shape of the wig.
Remember as you wear the wig it will take on the shape
of your own cranium, therefore it is important not to alter
the shape that is being created by your head.
If you are not using the wig, turn it inside out and
store in tissue paper or a paper bag. Never
store your wig in a plastic bag.
-
Do
not expose your wig to extreme heat.
Examples are direct heat from a pot on the stove or pan
from the oven, extended time in direct sunlight or hot water.
Therefore always remove lid from pot or pan and let
inside heat rise before looking directly in such.
-
Do
not cut or attempt to repair the wig yourself.
Always return to place of purchase for repairs.
-
Some
suggestions for cleaners for your wigs are: Tresseme,
Wella or Suave Shampoos and Conditioners. Never
use a wig shampoo on your wig, as they will shorten the life
of your wig.
Never use hairspray on your synthetic
hairpiece.
A good, non-alcohol, spray gel will provide control for
your piece after cleaning and may be used as a hairspray.
They will dry in a few minutes and provide protection
from the elements.
Any questions that you may have contact your trusted
professional.
