How
do I wash and dry my human hair or synthetic wig?
Generally,
a wig should be washed after 12-15 wearings in spring and summer
and after
6-8 wearings in fall or winter. Factors such as air quality and
humidity will
contribute to frequency of washing, as it does with your own
hair.
Always keep your own hair clean when wearing your wig to reduce
washing frequency.
Before washing,
brush straight styles gently but completely with a wire brush.
Brush curly
styles lightly with a vent brush or pick, keeping curls intact.
Add a cap of
wig shampoo to basin of cool water (never use hot water).
Immerse wig,
dousing it gently, and allow to soak for 2 minutes.
Rinse completely
by swishing in clean, cool water. Gently squeeze excess
water from
wig. For high lustre and softness, apply wig hair conditioner
or your own
favorite conditioner for human hair wigs. Leave
on 5 minutes
and rinse well in cool water. Gently squeeze
out excess
water. On curly styles, lightly finger squeeze curls
while wig
is still wet.
On all styles,
gently towel blot wig to remove excess wetness.
Place wig
on a clean dry towel and allow to air dry naturally.
Do NOT comb
or brush a wet wig unless you are completely restyling it.
Do not dry
in direct sunlight. After wig is
dry, shake out and style.
Always place
dry wig on wig stand when not being worn.
How do
I style and restyle my human hair or synthetic wig?
Always use
a vent brush or pick for curly styles and a wire brush for
straight styles.
Avoid using
standard hair brushes, as these brushes can create excessive tension,
over-stretching
the hair with abrasive strokes that may damage the hair.
Think in reverse
when brushing your wig. Start from the ends and work gradually
toward the
ends and work gradually toward the root area of the hairpiece.
When using
a wire pick, work the curls from ends to root area as well.
Styling is
greatly enhanced between washings with Liquid Mousse.
For curly
or wavy styles, it is considered an essential styling tool.
Just mousse,
hand scrunch and pick the style into curls.
On straight
styles, mousse and brush lightly.
Conditioners
also are recommended to maintain your hairwear.
To Restyle
Human Hair Wigs:
To spot style,
add mousse or gel and use electric rollers on a medium setting.
Only hair
directly in contact with rollers will be spot set.
Remember never
to use a curling iron with your wig.
To completely
restyle, we recommend taking your wig to a professional stylist.
If you decide
to restyle at home, going from curly to straight or vice versa,
Please read
these guidelines.
(1)
Place wig securely on wig stand.
Use electric
rollers, regular rollers or pin curls.
End papers
are recommended with rollers or pin curls.
(2) Remove
tangles with a wig brush.
(3) Using the same directional styling as on
a human hair
of hair. Pick up hair and wind on roller or curl,
smoothing
ends as you go.
(4)
Use a medium setting with electric rollers or hair dryer. With a hair blower,
be sure to
circulate medium heat evenly and continously,
keeping about
12" from wig.
(5)
Allow hair to cool before removing rollers or pincurls.
(6)
Lightly backbrush or backcomb and tease up on areas desired.
Brush style
in place, using Liquid Mousse.
