*Caring for your virgin hair should be your number 1 priority. Using this Virgin Hair Care Guide should make your wig last at least one year*
Post Installation Maintenance
- Once natural hair is cut from a donor’s head, it stops receiving much-needed nutrients that nourish and keeps the hair soft, shiny & tangle-free. It’s therefore vitally important to maintain and treat your virgin hair with the appropriate maintenance products that will restore/maintain its natural softness, silk and keep it tangle-free.
- Proper maintenance care using the appropriate product range will ensure that your wig keeps its shine and lasts for a long time. We recommend you to use mild shampoos & conditioners; preferably Sulfate-free and silicon free hair care products.
Warning
Using the wrong maintenance products on your wig will result in dry, dull, shedding, tangled, damaged and unmanageable hair!
Step 1: De-tangle your hair
This is a very important step prior to shampooing your hair. Ensure that the hair is free of tangles or snares. Using a wide tooth or a detangling brush, gently comb out the hair. Always comb or brush the hair from the bottom up, small sections at a time. The more careful you treat your hair the longer it will last.
Step 2: Shampoo/Condition
Shampoo your hair at least once a week. Shampoo your hair more often if you have increased perspiration or have been in a dusty environment. Curly textures require frequent shampoos or co-washes to look its best hair. Clean your hair with a moisturizing shampoo. Wash your hair in a downward motion, working shampoo from the top down in one motion. Condition your hair with a moisturizing conditioner. Follow with the conditioner in the same manner.
*If the hair feels dry or heavy it is time to shampoo and Condition-Wash. Rinse well and then style*.
Step 3: Deep Condition
To keep your hair in tip- top shape, use a deep conditioner or hot oil treatment in your hair *twice a month*.
Step 4: Styling
Always comb or brush hair from the bottom up, small sections at a time. The more careful you treat your wig the longer they will last. Support your attachment when brushing or combing your hair.
We also strongly recommend the use of a detangling brush to comb your hair everyday, so that it does not develop tangles especially in the nape area. Heat is your hair’s biggest enemy. The more you use it, the shorter the lifespan of your hair. *Avoid using heavy greasy products on your hair*.
- Use heat in moderation.
- Do not use high temperatures.
- High temperatures can damage the hair, including permanently altering the hair texture.
- Use styling products that are alcohol free.
At Night: Put your hair “up” at night. Braid your hair before going to sleep. This is important in preventing tangles. *Never sleep with loose wet hair, for it may tangle while you sleep*.
