HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY LACE WIG?
1. Fill your clean sink with luke warm water (make sure there is absolutely no bleach or other harsh cleaning chemical residue in the sink)
2. Add a capful or less of gentle(human hair wig formulated) shampoo and dilute in the water. Never use regular shampoo on your 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.
3. Gently swish the wig or piece in the water for about 30 seconds to a minute until the wig is saturated. Gently rub the front of the wig cap, where it meets the forehead until clean. And remember VERY, VERY, GENTLY!
4. Leave the wig soak in the wig sink for about 5 minutes
5. Empty the wig basin of water and rinse the wig or piece in cool water. It is very important to use cool water on curly wigs, as warm water will over-relax the curls of wigs.
6. Gently squeeze excess water out of wig. Do not rub or twist your wig.
7. Spread the wig out on a plastic wig stand 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. It is not recommended to blow dry your wig. Do not brush or style your wig while it is wet.
8. When the wig is entirely dry, re-style the wig gently. We recommend a wig pick or wide tooth comb. Bristle brushes, and roll brushes are not recommended.
Do not use regular shampoo/conditioner products. It is too strong for human hair wigs.
HOW LONG CAN I KEEP MY LACE WIG ON?
That will depend on the strength of the adhesive you choose, and your personal comfort.
Ultra Hold adhesive and our New Safe Grip adhesive both have a maximum hold time of 6 weeks.
Mity Tite Wig Glue has a hold time of up to 10 days.
CAN WAVY & CURLY LACE WIGS BE FLAT IRONED?
Yes they can, but it depends on the tightness of the curl. For really tight curls (like Jerry Curl and Water Wave) we suggest you don't flat iron it.
Some customers have had success flat-ironing curly wigs, however we highly recommend purchasing a straight style and a mild curly style wig as your wigs will last much longer.
Due to the fact that the hair has already been dyed and processed, we would not recommend any further dyeing of the product.
WILL A LACE WIG DAMAGE MY HAIRLINE?
No. A properly applied lace wig will not damage your hairline. Be sure to properly cut your lace wig leaving enough lace to hold/adhere the glue to your skin. Extra lace is needed to hold the lace wig firmly and avoid placing glue/tape to your hairline.
