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.

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
flat iron curls - a curly wig is designed to be curly!
Don't
brush curly hair when hair is dry.
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.
