Gentle Washing is Key

To preserve your wig’s integrity, wash it with a sulfate-free shampoo in lukewarm water. Gently submerge the wig and swirl it without rubbing. Rinse thoroughly with cool water, then apply conditioner to the ends, avoiding the cap’s base to protect the delicate knots.

Proper Drying for Lasting Beauty

After washing, carefully blot excess water with a towel; never wring it out. Place the wig on a designated stand or mannequin head to air dry naturally. This helps maintain its intended shape. If you must use a blow dryer, always use the lowest heat setting.

Styling with a Delicate Touch

When styling your custom wig, use a heat protectant spray before applying any heat. To detangle, use a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends and gently working your way up to the roots to prevent shedding and unnecessary stress on the hair.

Correct Storage for Preservation

Proper storage is crucial. When not in use, keep your wig on a stand to help it retain its style and shape. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and dust to ensure it’s always pristine and ready to wear.
