Human Hair Care

Human Hair Care

We recommend washing your Alternative Hair every 6-8 wears

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • Wig Studio 1 does not recommend coloring or chemically altering alternative hair
  • Performing a check was on all human hair systems within 10 days of receipt is recommended. 

CHECK WASH

  • Before washing your human hair wig or hairpiece, gently remove any tangles using your Wide Tooth Comb
  • Wet hair completely using cool running water, allowing the water to flow in the direction of the fibers
  • Do NOT soak your wig or topper
  • Comb through hair with your fingers several times
  • If no signs of tangling or matting occur, continue to cleanse and condition while checking for excessive tangling as you go
  • If you DO notice excessive tangling or matting, it may be a sign of inversion
  • If this occurs, please contact us at support@wigstudio1.com immediately
  • Tangling or matting that occurs after months of wear is due to improper care

CLEANSE & CONDITION

  • Before washing your human hair wig or hairpiece, gently remove any tangles using your Wide Tooth Comb
  • Wet hair completely using cool running water, allowing the water to flow in the direction of the fibers
  • Do NOT soak your wig or topper
  • Gently lather the hair with a small amount of shampoo specifically formulated for alternative human hair, while making sure that the water is traveling in the same direction as the fibers
  • DO NOT rub hair as this may cause tangling
  • Rinse thoroughly in cool running water until the water runs clear
  • Apply conditioner specifically formulated for alternative hair, avoiding the base of the wig or hairpiece (applying conditioner to the base/cap may weaken the knots)
  • Using your fingers, work conditioner through mid-lengths and ends for 3-5 minutes
  • Rinse thoroughly in cool running water until the water runs clear

DRY & STYLE

  • Wrap wig or hairpiece in a towel and gently pat to remove excess water
  • Gently remove any tangles using your Wide Tooth Comb
  • Allow cap to dry completely before wearing, storing, displaying, or applying to a canvas block head for styling

STYLING

  • For styling, apply wig or topper to a canvas block head
  • Spray a heat protectant lightly on the hair, avoiding the base and working down toward the ends. Work in 2" increments.

TIPS

  • Use professional grade heat styling tools with digital temperature settings to control heat
  • Use no higher than 350° F to help maintain the integrity of the hair
