So you snagged a killer human hair lace frontal wig? Score! But like your own hair, it needs some TLC to stay luscious. Here's the lowdown:
Detangle Time
Before washing, brush out any snags with a wide-tooth comb or wig brush. Work from the ends up to avoid yanking on the lace.
Wash Day
Fill a sink with cool water and a dollop of sulphate-free shampoo (made for human hair or wigs is best). Gently dunk and swish the wig to loosen dirt and product buildup. No harsh scrubbing – that's a recipe for tangles and tears!
Conditioning Love
After shampooing, smooth on some conditioner specifically formulated for human hair or wigs. Let it chill for 5-10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with cool water until all the shampoo and conditioner are gone.
Air It Out
Don't blast your wig dry! Instead, gently pat it with a towel and let it air dry on a wig stand or flat on a towel in a cool spot. Direct sunlight and heat are a no-go, as they can damage the hair.
Heat Styling
Be careful with hot tools like blow dryers and straighteners. Only use them when the wig is completely dry, and always apply a heat protectant spray first.
Brush It Out
When styling, use a wig brush or wide-tooth comb and be gentle to avoid pulling on the lace.
When You're Not Wearing It
Pop your wig on a stand to keep its shape. Sleeping in it's not a great idea – friction can lead to tangles.
A Little Shedding is Normal
Don't freak if you see a few stray hairs. However, if it's shedding a lot, that might mean you're not being gentle enough.
Pro Help
If you want a haircut, color change, or chemical treatment, consider taking your wig to a hairstylist who's experienced with human hair wigs. They'll work their magic without damaging your investment.
