General Wig Care Tips
Washing Frequency
Human hair wigs typically require washing every 7-10 wears, depending on product build-up. Conversely, synthetic wigs can be washed less frequently. Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to avoid stripping away the natural oils in human hair wigs.
Detangling
Always detangle your wig before washing it to prevent further tangling during the washing process. Use a wide-tooth comb for curly wigs or a paddle brush for straight styles.
Drying
Never wring out your wig. Instead, gently pat it dry using a towel and allow it to air dry on a wig stand. This maintains the style and structure of the wig without causing any damage.
Special Care for Braided Wigs
Braided wigs, such as the Full Lace Micro Tree Braids, require different care. These wigs shouldn't be washed frequently to maintain the style longer. Spot cleaning is usually sufficient, focusing on the parting and hairline areas.
Maintaining Your Wig’s Natural Look
To maintain the natural appearance of your wig, consider using the Lace Tint Spray. This product enhances the realism of your wig, ensuring that it perfectly matches your skin tone and gives the illusion of a natural scalp.
Storing Your Wig
Proper storage is crucial. Always store your wigs on a stand or mannequin head to prevent tangling and maintain their shape. It's particularly important for human hair wigs as they can lose their style if not stored correctly.
