Wig Care...

Before trying on or wearing
your custom wig we suggest
preparing your hair as follows:

It's a good idea to use a wig cap
as it helps keep your hair in place,
gives a more secure fit and helps
your wig remain fresh and clean longer.

For Longer Hair
(long enough to pull back)

• Part hair down middle of head.
• Section hair into two pigtails, one behind
    each ear, secure with coated elastic hairbands.
• Braid or twist pigtails, secure bottom halves
    with a second set of coated elastic hairbands.
• Crisscross pigtails and pin to opposite sides with bobby
    pins. Make sure all stray hairs are pulled up in sections.
• Stretch wig cap over sectioned hair secure with bobby pins
     if necessary.

Wig Wearing Instructions

• After preparing hair, line up wig hairline with your own hairline.
• Align, sides of cap (flaps in front of ears) with each temple.
• If wig is too loose or too tight adjust straps inside wig prior
    to putting on.
• For added security you may use bobby pins at temples
    and/or nape of wig.
• Fluff bangs if necessary and finger into place.
• Look all around with a second mirror and make any minor
    fitting adjustments if needed.

You are now ready to go. Enjoy!

Wig Care Instructions

To maintain style and shape:
• After wearing replace on styrofoam head.
• Smooth hair back into style using styling comb (lightly).
• Spray lightly with hair spray if desired. Low alcohol hair spray is
    best for wigs.
• Place hair net over wig and store until next wear away from dust,
    humidity and heat.

To Wash Wig
• Brush wig thoroughly start at ends, work up to the cap.
• Add mild shampoo to cool water in either basin or sink.
• Immerse wig and swish gently. Soak for 5 minutes.
• Rinse thoroughly in cool clear water until all soap is removed.

You may use any over the counter hair conditioner to condition your wig (preferably with lanolin).
• Work in well from scalp to ends, leave in for 5 minutes and rinse
    thoroughly.
• Squeeze gently and blot gently with a towel.
• Place wig over wig head or slender object (like a tall hairspray
    can) and let dry naturally.
• Brush wig gently only when completely dry.

You may now restyle your wig

Caution: Do not expose your wig to open flame or excessive heat.
Do not use heat appliances such as curling irons or hair dryers on wig.
