Hair Topper Care

Proper care helps wigs look their best for longer. Whether you’re new to wigs or an experienced wearer, knowing the right care techniques makes all the difference.

Synthetic Wigs

Human Hair Wigs

1. Detangle

Before washing, carefully detangle the hair using a wide-tooth comb. Start from the ends and work toward the root to reduce shedding.

2. Rinse

Use lukewarm water and rinse from roots to ends. Do not soak or rub, as this can lead to tangling.

3. Shampoo

Loosen the shampoo in your hands and work through the hair. Distribute a small amount of shampoo evenly throughout the hair.

4. Condition

Spray leave-in conditioner from the mid-shaft to the ends, avoiding the root and knots.

5. Rinse

Let lukewarm water flow in the same direction as the hair to prevent tangling. Squeeze and press the hair—do NOT wring.

6. Dry

Gently part the hair with a comb before it dries. Air-dry on a folding wig stand.

3. Shampoo

Emulsify the shampoo in your hands and massage into the cap and throughout the hair.

4. Condition

Emulsify the conditioner in your hands, then apply it from the mid-shaft to the ends, avoiding the root and knots. Leave it in for a few minutes before rinsing. Do NOT apply conditioner to the root, as this can loosen the knots in the cap and cause fiber loss.

5. Rinse

Let lukewarm water flow in the same direction as the hair to prevent tangling. Squeeze and press the hair—do NOT wring.

6. Dry

Blow-dry about 80% of the way, then use a round brush until smooth.
