Day & Night Maintenance
Day Maintenance
1.Always comb or brush through hair using the appropriate tools for textures. See images below. Brush the wig or bundle from the bottom to middle to the top gently with your love~
2.Hair has to be washed and conditioned at least twice a week.
3.If hair has to be put in a ponytail, do not use a rubber band, use a soft fabric or satin hair scrunchie to avoid tangling and dryness.
4.When using hot tools, we suggest temperatures under 350F degrees for colored hair, and under 400F degrees for natural colored hair to avoid dryness. Do not leave any hot tools on the hair for no more than 30 seconds. Once done styling your hair, clean your hot tools.
5.Place your wig on a wig stand or mannequin head when not wearing your wig.
Night Maintenance
1.Always tie hair up with a satin hair scrunchie or into a satin bonnet; alternative satin pillowcase.
2.Use a terry cloth lined shower cap to preserve style of hair and block out any water or moisture trapped in hair.
3.If wearing lace frontal, Use a washcloth to wash face avoiding forehead area to avoid lace lifting.
How To Tips
How to Prevent Hair From Shedding?
To prevent hair shedding, especially with wigs that have pre-bleached knots, follow these tips:
1. Comb hair gently : wide tooth comb highly recommended for straight,wave and for curly hair pls use hand to prevent tangle.
2. Blow-dry before combing: Before combing wet hair, blow-dry the inner net and hair knots gently. This helps to prevent clumps from falling out.
3. Avoid pulling through lace: When adjusting the hairline during daily wear, do not pull the hair through the lace. Instead, grasp the hair on both sides of the cap's weft lines to adjust the hairline.
How To Detangle The Wig?
1.For detangling or daily maintenance use either your fingers a Wide tooth comb including a denman brush to keep curls nice and bouncy.
2. Avoid using a fine tooth comb for curly hair as this will cause tangling and excessive shedding.
3.Do not use products that contain sulfate, parabens, alcohol as these will dry out hair and cause tangling including shedding.
By following these practices, you can minimize hair shedding and reduce the risk of hairline recession and lace damage.
