How To Put Your Wig On

1) Take the wig out of the box, shake it gently to loosen fibers.

3) Brush your own hair back, securing any longer pieces with a hair pin and place a wig cap over your head (keeps your existing hair from falling and the wig securely in place.

4) Grasp the wig at the top and slip it over your head from hairline to back.

5) Adjust wig so that the edges meet with your own natural hairline.

6) The wig should feel secure but no too tight. If necessary, adjust the back elastic straps with hooks toward the inner label for tightening, and away from the label if you need to loosen it.

Styling and Maintenance of Your Wig

1) Cleaning Your Wig:

- Brush the wig thoroughly, remembering not to pull too hard on the hair fibers.

- Fill your sink or basin with cold or luke warm water, adding shampoo specifically designed for synthetic hair, or shampoo for color treated hair.

- Let your wig soak for 5-10 minutes. You can move the wig around in a gentle motion, but do not rub it.

- Rinse in cold or luke warm water until thoroughly rinsed.

- Generously apply conditioner to the wig, working it through with fingertips.

- Rinse again until all conditioner is removed from the wig.

- Gently blot the wig with a towel. Do not rub.

- Run your fingertips through the wig fibers without pulling to loosen any tangles or knots.

- Place the wig on a wig stand to air dry. If the wig is human hair, you can use a blow dryer, but it is recommended you use a wig stand as well to preserve the wigs longevity.

2) Styling of Synthetic Wig:

- If upon receiving your wig, you find you need it altered or restyled, it is advised you take it to a professional stylist to achieve the desired effect. Do not fuss with the styling of a synthetic wig, as most often a simple shake it and go method works just fine. Hence, these were made specifically for ready to wear. You can of course, clip and pin different sections to your liking for a change of style, but as you get used to the wig, you will most likely find that you do not have to do anything if at all in maintaining it's style. For curly wigs, use a pick or comb to loosen fibers, but do not pull on the hair.

3) Styling of Human Hair Wig:

- If upon receiving your wig, you find you need it altered or restyled, it is advised you take it to a profession stylist to achieve the desired effect. After air drying or using a blow dryer with the hair completely dry, use a wider tooth comb or brush, starting at the ends and working your way up to the roots. Remember it is human hair, and it too can get split ends if not treated delicately. Place the wig on it's wig stand and use hot rollers or a curling iron on a low setting to style the hair to your liking.

4) Storing Your Wig:

- Store your wig on a wig stand in a clean, damp free and heat free environment. This will ensure it stay tangle and soil free between wearing, as well as maintain the wig's style.

Wig Cap Constructions

1) Monofilament or Mono Top: Transparent nylon or silk mesh with individually tied hand knotted hair fibers into the mesh. This allows the hair to fall naturally and gives it versatility for styling purposes. This cap construction is suitable for those with excessive hair loss with the color of the scalp underneath showing through in creating the illusion of the hair growing from your own scalp.

2) Skin Top: Thin polyurethane or latex inserted at the top of the wig and the hair implanted into it, creating the appearance of hair growing directly out of the scalp. This cap construction is suitable for those with total hair loss or those still having hair.

3) Standard Top: The entire cap has the same construction which is usually lace. This cap construction is suitable for those with total hair loss or those still having hair.
