How to Wash Your Synthetic Wig or Hairpiece

Synthetic wigs should be washed in cool water with specialized wig shampoo. It is recommended to wash your wig after every 8 - 10 wears. Never use over the counter shampoo on synthetic wig fibre! Only use wig shampoos and wig conditioners that are specially designed for synthetic fibre and will increase the longevity of your wig or hairpiece. (Using conditioner is highly recommended to reduce tangling.) Do not scrub the wig, just swish it from side to side and dunk it up and down. Wigs should be hung to dry. Once dry, spray sheen or detangling spray onto the wig and comb or brush depending on the type of wig you have

Setting & Styling Your Synthetic Wig or Hairpiece

Comb the hair, set in rollers with rolling papers and setting lotion.Place your wig on a wig stand or styro foam head overnight or until completely dried.  Do not use hot tools like blow driers, curling irons, flat irons on your wig or hairpiece. These will melt the synthetic hair strands and ruin the wig or hairpiece! If wig hair gets frizzy, use wig sheen spray to smooth it out and then comb. In order to remove tangles in the synthetic hair, use a detangling wig lustre or wig sheen spray.

Combing and Brushing Your Wig or Hairpiece

Never brush your wig when it is wet. Use your fingers or spray. Do not use a brush on a curly wig or hairpiece as it will cause it to frizz.
