If you use a protective wig cap, make sure its not too tight or this may cause headaches and or neck ache. Janette C, West Midlands

Recycle tights that match your skin tone, make your own wig cap - this will protect your natural hair and match your scalp colour. The Afrodite Team

Removal:

For stubborn glue areas, use an old toothbrush and dip in isopropyl. Gently press onto affected area and allow to saturate. Take an old face cloth and gently pinch the embedded glue away from the lace. Wash wig as recommended. The Afrodite Team

If you manage to get glue on your hair, try rubbing some olive oil on the affected area, and gently comb off. (I find that any brand of olive oil seems to work). Aby O, Erdington, Birmingham

Washing:

Try dry shampooing your lace wig as an alternative. Marsha J, Newcastle

Avoid using shampoos and conditions which contain protein. The Afrodite
Team

Styling Tips:

Don't be afraid to trim the ends of your wig so it will keep your style looking fresh. Zaine M, Kent

Fringes work really well with lace wigs so you don't always have to have the hairline on show. Experiment with different styles and cap types.   Mrs Lewis, Cheshire

Custom is what custom does so if you are looking for that perfect fit get a made
to measure wig! Rachel S, West London
