Wig Care  For Human Hair

Our wigs made from human hair are of the highest quality and, when properly cared for, will give you plenty of enjoyable wear. Just follow the instructions below to get the maximum life-span and performance from your wig.

Washing

Human hair wigs should be washed in cool to luke-warm water with a mild shampoo and conditioner. (Using conditioner is highly recommended to reduce tangling.) Do not scrub the wig, just swish it from side to side and dunk it up and down. Wigs should be hung to dry. (Human hair wigs may also be set when wet. See Styling below.)

Once dry, spray sheen or detangling spray onto the wig and comb or brush depending on the type of wig you have (See Combing and Brushing below).

Setting

Human hair wigs can be set quite easily by following these instructions:

1.       After washing, comb the hair (as instructed below) then set in rollers with rolling papers and setting lotion

2.       Put the wig under a sitting hair drier on low heat for 40 to 50 minutes. If you do not have access to a sitting drier, the wig may be left on a wig stand or poly head overnight or until completely dried.

3.       Once dry, take out the rollers and style the wig as desired.

Styling

Hot tools may be used on human hair wigs. Hair driers, curling  tongs and heated rollers may be used in the same way as they would on your regular hair. Most wig caps are designed to be unaffected by heat. Additional care must be taken when styling a wig with a monofilament top as the plastic in the cap material can melt under heat.
