How to Clean Your Hairpiece

Regular cleaning helps maintain the quality and appearance of your wig or hairpiece. Follow these steps for a gentle and effective wash:

1. Prepare Your Hairpiece:

Gently detangle your hairpiece using a wide-tooth comb or hair brush. Make sure there are no tangly or matted areas before getting hair wet. Before washing, remove any wig tape and/or close comb clips inside the cap if applicable.

2. Rinse with Warm Water

Hold the hairpiece under warm (not hot) running water, allowing the water to flow from the roots to the ends.

3. Apply High Quality, Sulfate-Free Shampoo

Gently work shampoo through the hair, avoiding circular motions that can cause tangling. Move the shampoo from top to bottom with your fingers, using gentle, downward motions without agitating the hair.

4. Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse out the shampoo with cool water, ensuring all product is removed.

5. Condition with Care

Apply a highly moisturizing conditioner from “roots” to ends. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes before rinsing. Use the same gentle, downward motions as you did with the shampoo.

6. Pat Dry with a Towel

Gently blot the hair with a towel—avoid wringing or twisting. Let the hairpiece air dry on a wig stand.

Daily Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Hairpieces

Proper daily care can significantly extend the life of your hairpiece:

Brush Gently: Use a wide-tooth comb or hair brush to detangle, starting from the ends and working your way up. Make sure to detangle at the nape, where matting is common
Store Safely: When not in use, store your hairpiece on a wig stand in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape.
Use High-Quality Hair Care Products: Extend the life and maintain the beauty of your wig or hairpiece by using high-quality shampoo, conditioner, and protective leave-in products. These products help preserve the hair’s softness, shine, and manageability, ensuring it stays looking its best for longer.
