How to wash a synthetic wig:
-Fill your sink basin or a large bowl with cool water.
-Add a capful of synthetic wig shampoo and blend in. Never use regular shampoo on synthetic wigs! If the wig has picked up the odor
of smoke or other strong odors, you may add a teaspoon of baking soda to your basin, and blend in.
-Gently swish the wig or piece in the water for about 30 seconds to a minute until saturated. Gently scrub the front of the wig cap,
where it meets the forehead until clean.
-Leave the wig soak in the basin for about 15 minutes
-Empty the basin of water and rinse the wig in cool water. It is very important to use cool water on curly wigs, as warm water will
over-relax the curls.
-Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not rub or twist.
-Spread the wig out on a thirsty towel and leave in a ventilated area to dry overnight.
-You should spray on a little leave-on wig conditioner, when you start the drying process.
-When the wig is entirely dry, and not before, re-style the wig gently. We recommend a pick and not a brush. Shaking and fluffing by
hand is your best starting point for styling.
How to Style/Re-Style a Synthetic Wig:
Can I use a blow drier or curling iron on my synthetic wig?
-No blow drier!! Excessive heat will melt or frizz the plastic in yourfibers. Don't even think about it.
-Some recommend a lukewarm curling iron for re-setting the curls in a curly piece. Here is a better method.
-Pin the wig or piece to a Styrofoam head or "block" so you can work on it.
-Select rollers of the proper size to re-set your curls. Wire mesh rollers are best.
-Wet the entire hairpiece with lukewarm water and set the curls. Use perm papers, which you can get at a beauty supply house to
protect the ends of the hair. Use plenty of rollers with a little hair in each for best curly results.
-Take the pinned up piece to the sink basin. If you have a spray nozzle at your basin it is best to "spray" the hottest tap water on each set curl for about 3-4 seconds. This process, relaxes the hair without damaging it like a curling iron.
-When you are done relaxing all the curls, immediately spray each curl, in approximately the same order as you "relaxed" them with icy
cold tap water. You can also use a mist bottle, filled with some ice and water. This "freezes" the curl into a new semi-permanent curl
pattern.
-Allow your hair to air dry overnight, and when dry, take down the rollers. Now you've re-set your curls the most professional way
possible.
