Wige care
Your first wig
Wigs are now part of my everyday life as a matter of course, so I would like to take all the fears before buying the first wig!
The reasons to choose a wig can be very diverse. Regardless of whether it is a fashionable accessory or life aid as a hair replacement for a medical reason.
Storage
- Store your wig in the satin lined box that it arrived in, a wig stand or a mannequin head to preserve its shape
- Preserve the color and texture of your wig by avoiding frequent contact with chlorinated water, sea water and hot water. If you do, Immediately wash and condition your wigs afterwards
- Do not apply direct heat to the lace, it will damage the material and cause it to shed.
Rinse
The next step involves getting your lace wig wet. Remember to be gentle with the lace. Place your wig under the faucet and use cool to lukewarm water to fully submerge it. After rinsing, gently remove the excess water with your hands and get ready to shampoo.
Shampoo
Place a small amount of shampoo in to your hands and stroke the hair from roots to ends, be gentle when it comes to shampooing.
To remove the shampoo, run cool water from the base down to the bottom of the hair. Once you've gotten rid of the shampoo and the water runs clear, use a towel to gently blot the hair before applying conditioner.
Condition
Now you´re ready to condition. Just like the shampoo, you´ll want to use a wig-approved hydrating conditioner.
Work a small dab into the wig, starting at the bottom. Gently comb through the strands with your fingers or a wide tooth comb keeping the conditioner away from the base of the wig. You let most conditioners set for up 15 minutes but follow the directions on the bottle.
Once the time´s up, run cold water from the top of the wig down to the ends of the strands, making sure you fully get rid of all the conditioner before blotting it dry and hanging it to air dry. After your wigs has dried. You can begin to style as desired.
