HAIR CARE

HOW TO PUT YOUR WIG ON:

 

Before you start, make sure your hair is braided down and your braids are suitable for the style you will be wearing! For example, lace frontal your hair should be braided it straight back with 15 cornrows. Middle part the same but your hair is shared in the middle or side and braided following that pattern! 

 

• 1. Take the wig out of the box and remove the  protective packaging

• 2. Turn the wig upside down; using your first finger and thumb expand the sides and place your head into it (keeping the wig upside down)

• 3. Adjust the wig so that is it sitting in the correct position. If there is a parting make sure that it is in line with the parting in your braids.

• 4. If you would like to tighten the wig, look for the two combs on the sides and the band and to adjust the unit. 

• 5. Always Style the wig as your heart desire. 

 

DOS:

 

• -Highly recommend at all times to store your wig on a mannequin head when you remove it so it can retain the style and shape.

• -Wash and deep condition your wig regularly, every two weeks!

• -Deep condition your hair regularly once a month.

• -Use a heat protectant when using heated styling tools to minimize split ends and heat damage

• -Brush your hair only when needed – excessive combing and brushing decreases the longevity of your virgin hair and the wig.

• -Brush/comb your wig from the tips to the roots - this reduces shedding.

• -Use a paddle brush or wide tooth comb to detangle

• -Store your wig in a safe place (i.e on a mannequin head or in the box) and out of the reach of children

• -Braid your natural hair under the wig so that it can lay flat

• -Use a paddle brush or wide tooth comb to detangle

 

DON'TS:

 

• -Apply too much product to your wig – this will weigh down the hair, leaving it greasy and not very cute!

• -Direct excessive high heat (i.e when using a blow dryer, straightener or curling wand) to the mesh cap or lace frontal/3 way lace closure/silk based closure.

• -Leave your wig to deep condition on a hot radiator - this is extremely dangerous!

• -Sleep or shower with the wig on (where possible).

Top tips for flawless wigs:

 

1) Try and make your weaves into wigs! This will avoid cutting off the wefts, tangling whilst you sleep and oil/grease from your scalp seeping onto the weft. You can take it off at night and maintain style for longer. 

 

2) Invest in your products! Don’t just buy the cheapest products; buy what works! Always be willing to try out new things (when you can) in order to find your favorite products and discover the best products for your weaves/wigs. 

 

3) Always try to air dry your weaves/wigs. As with natural hair, too much heat will dry out the hair and make it harder to maintain. Air drying = softer sleeker hair!

4) Avoid overdosing on products. Only use the necessary amount; too much product results in greasy, heavy weaves. This makes maintenance harder and will ruin your flawless look.

 

5) Be sure to get the correct braiding pattern for your wigs. Messy braids will not do your wigs/weaves any justice and will ruin your flawless look.
