WIG CARE GUIDE
CARE FOR YOUR WIG. KEEP YOUR LOOK. Learn simple, practical ways to look after your wig according to its hair type, texture and construction.
START HERE
Good care starts with knowing your wig.
Different wigs can need different care. Hair type, texture, construction and styling all affect how a wig should be handled, washed, dried and stored.
Use the guidance below as a practical starting point, then follow any care instructions supplied with your specific wig.
WASH WITH CARE
Clean according to use and the specific wig's care guidance rather than using one routine for every style.
CONDITION APPROPRIATELY
Use suitable conditioning without overloading the hair or creating unnecessary product build-up.
DRY PROPERLY
Allow the wig to dry carefully and avoid unnecessary heat exposure while it is wet.
STORE CORRECTLY
Keep the wig protected from dust, crushing and avoidable tangling when it is not being worn.
HUMAN HAIR
Human Hair Wig Care
Human hair wigs can be styled and handled differently from other wig types. Gentle brushing, suitable cleansing, conditioning and careful heat styling can help you maintain the intended look.
- Detangle gently, working through sections rather than forcing knots.
- Use products appropriate for the wig and its care instructions.
- Limit unnecessary heat and repeated manipulation.
- Store the wig clean, protected and in a shape that helps prevent tangling.
Care note: Always check the instructions supplied with your specific wig before washing or heat styling.
GLUELESS
Glueless Wig Care
Glueless wigs still need careful handling around the cap, adjustment areas and hair. Avoid unnecessary pulling or rough handling when removing, fitting, washing or storing the wig.
- Handle the cap and adjustment areas gently.
- Avoid pulling the hair or cap when removing and fitting the wig.
- Keep the wig supported during washing and drying.
- Store it in a way that protects the cap and hair from crushing and friction.
Care note: Follow any construction-specific instructions supplied with your product.
LACE FRONT
Lace Front Wig Care
Lace front wigs need especially careful handling around the lace area. Reduce unnecessary tension and avoid rough brushing or pressure on delicate sections.
- Handle the lace gently when removing or adjusting the wig.
- Brush carefully so the lace is not put under avoidable tension.
- Keep the wig supported during washing and drying.
- Protect the lace from crushing and unnecessary friction during storage.
Care note: Follow any lace-specific instructions supplied with your product.
TEXTURE
Protect the pattern.
Texture can influence how much brushing and manipulation a wig needs. A more controlled routine can help you work with the texture instead of constantly reshaping it.
STRAIGHT
Detangle gently and keep styling controlled so the hair stays smooth and manageable.
BODY WAVE
Use gentle handling to help preserve the wave rather than repeatedly brushing it out.
DEEP WAVE
Minimise unnecessary dry brushing and handle the wave carefully when refreshing or styling.
CURLY
Work with the curl pattern and avoid rough manipulation that can disturb the intended shape.
