HOW DO I WASH AND STYLE MY SYNTHETIC WIG?Updated a year ago

WE RECOMMEND WASHING YOUR ALTERNATIVE HAIR EVERY 6-8 WEARS


CLEANSE & CONDITION

  • Before washing your wig or hairpiece, gently remove any tangles using a Wide Tooth Comb.
  • Wet hair completely using cool running water.
  • Gently lather the hair with a small amount of shampoo specifically formulated for synthetic hair, making sure that the hair is traveling in the same direction. DO NOT rub hair as this may cause tangling.
  • Rinse hair thoroughly under cool running water until water runs clear.
  • Wrap wig or hairpiece in a towel and gently pat dry.
  • Depending on products used, you may repeat the steps above with conditioner specifically formulated for synthetic hair.
  • If you prefer to use a leave in conditioner, spray 3-5 pumps of the leave-in-conditioner, keeping away from base of wig or hairpiece. 
    Gently detangle hair using your Wide Tooth Comb.

DRY & STYLE

  • Allow wig or hairpiece to air dry naturally by placing on a plastic or wire wig stand. DO NOT blow dry synthetic hair. 
  • For mid-length to longer length styles, we recommend applying some HD Smooth Detangling Spray, (3-5 pumps) focusing on bottom half of wig or hairpiece. Gently comb through using your Wide Tooth Comb.
  • We recommend using your fingertips or wig brush/comb for your desired style.
  • To add texture and definition, use a small amount of styling creme or spray. 
  • Do not use heat to style synthetic fibers (curling irons, flat irons or blow dryers), as it will damage the hair fibers.

TIPS

  • Be cautious when standing near a heat source (i.e. open oven, heater, dryer, etc.) Excessive heat can damage synthetic fibers.
  • We recommend using HD Smooth Detangling Spray by Jon Renau, along with a with a wide tooth comb to detangle your synthetic wig. This is especially important with a mid-length to long length wig or hairpiece.
