DOS & DON'TS - CURLY HAIR

Do             use styrofoam head or wig block to wash, condition or treat your wig.
                   If your wig block cannot hold water use a protective plastic covering.

Do             use a knot sealer to help significantly reduce shedding.

Do             use specialist wig shampoos and conditioners.

Do             deep condition your lace wig using specialist wig conditioners.
                   Keep products away from the base cap and rinse thoroughly.

Do             wash and rinse hair using cool water - never hot water.

Do             minimise your use of heat styling - and use low heat settings.

Do             fingercomb hair instead of using comb - this will help maintain curls.

Do             handle your lace wig delicately.

Do             seek advice if unsure before carrying out any wig care.

 

Don't        brush curly hair when hair is dry.

Don't        use flat irons too often - a curly wig is designed to be curly!

Don't        attempt to dye your wig or change its fundamental structure.
                   (ie, try to make a straight wig curly).

Don't        comb the hair too vigorously.

Don't        use heavy grease products - they may loosen the knots and cause
                   shedding. If you must use dressing products use small amounts
                   and away from the cap base.


Store       do not fold your wig - when not in use place your wig on a correctly
                   sized wig stand to maintain its shape.

Note         using dressmakers' or 'T'-pins carefully pin your wig onto the head
                   to keep in place being careful not to damage the lace. For long term                    storage keep in a covered box.
