We recommend washing your wig every 6-8 wears
IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT COLOR OR PERM WIGS OR HAIRPIECES
Before washing your human hair wig, gently remove any tangles with a paddle brush or wide tooth comb
Hold wig or hairpiece under cool running water.
Gently lather the hair with a capful of shampoo while making sure that the hair is traveling in the same direction. DO NOT rub hair as this may cause tangling
Rinse thoroughly in cool water until the water runs clear
Apply conditioner, avoiding the base cap of the wig (applying conditioner to the base of the cap may weaken the knots)
With your fingers, work conditioner through the ends of the hair for about 3-5 minutes
Rinse thoroughly in cool water until the water runs clear
Wrap wig in a towel and gently pat to remove excess water
DO NOT use a brush to detangle your human hair wig while it is wet, gently use a wide tooth comb.
