9 Tips You Need To Do When Wearing a Wig

1.Remember that non-Remy human hair is the lowest quality. That doesn't mean it's bad. It just means that the hair might have a coarser texture and be more prone to early signs of friction damage. They aren't as durable, so they're generally much less expensive. Remy hair is smooth and has cuticles that are in tact and all facing the same direction. This cuts down on friction so the wig feels smoother and lasts longer. Most Remy hair is from Asia or India and can come from multiple people per wig due to the homogeneity of those hair types. European hair wigs are also Remy, but the hair shafts are narrower, making them more lustrous and silky. European hair wigs also come from a single head of hair and are seldom dyed, so the variation of pigments and highlights is the most natural money can buy. Any of these types of hair can make a nice human hair wig. Just know what you're getting before you buy it.

2.Read the manufacturer’s recommendations about hair care.

3.Try to own more than one wig in a similar style and color to alternate. Human hair wigs take longer to dry & style than synthetics, and you don't want to be caught in a situation where you need hair and can't wear the only wig you have for some reason.

4.Brush out tangles prior to washing. Or if it’s a curly wig, just finger comb to avoid creating more tangles and frizz.

5.Wash wig in still water. Fill a small basin with cool water. Add small amount of shampoo to water and disperse. Only apply shampoo directly to areas in need of more intense washing, avoiding the tips of the hair. Submerge wig. Gently swirl and let soak for 5 minutes. Rinse by submerging in basin of cool water and gently swirling it around. Remove from basin, fill it back up with clean cool water, and repeat this rinse one more time.

6.Condition your wig carefully. Once you rinse out the shampoo, apply a wig-safe conditioner directly to the virgin hair bundles with closure. We recommend putting most of it on the longer parts of the strand and the ends, and not so much neat the roots to avoid having super flat hair. Let the conditioner sit on the hair for a minimum of 2 minutes. (You can leave it on overnight for more intense conditioning.) Rinse twice by submerging in a basin with cool water. Wrap gently with a towel to get out excess water.

7.Gently wrap damp wig in a towel and pat to remove excess water.

8.Condition again while damp with a leave-on spray product to lock in moisture. (We recommend light-weight conditioning Argan oil for this latter step, but there are others that work equally well.) Work through with hands.

9.Place on a wig stand and allow to hair dry thoroughly before combing again. You may apply more leave-in conditioner once dry, if needed.
