Hair Care Tips

BEFORE WASHING

Gently comb it out with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, removing all tangles. We recommend starting at the tips of the hair and slowly working your way up to the base of the cap.

WASHING

To wash your human hair wig, start by wetting it under running water. Hold your wig under the bathtub tap or wet it in the shower. This will stop the hair from getting tangled in a basin or sink. Use a small amount of shampoo to work up a lather in your hands and apply it to your wig. Do not twist, rub or massage the wig as it could cause the hair to tangle or break. Once you’ve distributed the shampoo from top to tip, rinse the shampoo out using clean, cold running water.

Once you’ve finished rinsing the shampoo out of the wig, lightly squeeze any excess water from the hair. While doing so, be sure not to rub or wring the wig out. To dry off, blot your human hair wig gently with a towel to remove any extra water. Then, you can begin conditioning.

CONDITIONING

While your human hair wig is still wet, spread a small amount of conditioner into the palm of your hands and gently work it into the hair. Make sure you spread it evenly, so the length of the wig is conditioned. As you do this, be sure to avoid applying any conditioner to the base of the wig because it can loosen the knots on the cap, causing your wig to lose hair.

Furthermore, we recommend leaving the conditioner in your natural hair wig for 3 – 5 minutes. While your wig is wet and saturated with conditioner, detangle the wig very gently, starting at the tips of the hair, and working your way up.

Using a wide-tooth comb or your fingertips, gently comb and detangle the hair. But, be careful not to stretch the hair as it could damage your wig. Once you have detangled your wig, thoroughly rinse the conditioner from it using cool running water.

DRYING

Gently squeeze any excess water from the wig (do not rub or wring) and lightly blot hair with a towel again. If you choose, you can apply a small amount of TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Oil throughout the wig to add shine, moisture and protection to the hair.

STYLING

It’s best to let it air dry on a wig stand as that’s the most gentle method and helps preserve the natural fibres.

Finally, after the wig is dry, you can use heated styling tools such as curling irons, flat irons and hair dryers.
