Taking Care of Human Hair Wigs

Wigs and toppers made of human hair should be cared for intensively, just like sensitive or strained natural hair. Here's everything you need to know.

Before washing gently brush it to remove any tangles. Wigs and pieces are washed in a sink or basin with cool water and 1 cupful of hydrating shampoo. Lather the hair with shampoo and swish a wig in water mixture. Agitate gently without rubbing. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and blot gently with a towel to remove excess moisture. DO NOT wring or twist. Shake hair vigorously to detangle. Hang upside down to air dry or place on a towel overnight.

When curling your human hair, you can use small metal clips to hold each curl while cooling for a tighter, longer-lasting curl. For a looser, more natural looking curl, allow curls to hang when cooling.

To protect from UV, use a UV protectant to avoid yellow tone and fading color from daily environment. To extend the life of your wig, use SULFATE FREE shampoo and apply conditioner for 4-6 minutes after washing. Shampoo no more than 1x week.
