FAQs

Q How do I clean my wig?
A Brush the wig thoroughly, then add wig shampoo to wash basin and fill with cold water. Let the wig soak for 5 minutes. Swish the wig gently around the basin NEVER RUB, then rinse gently in cold clear water a couple of times or until thoroughly rinsed. Apply a generous amount of wig conditioner and gently work through hair with fingertips, then rinse thoroughly with cold water. Dab gently with a towel DO NOT SQUEEZE OR WRING. Allow to air dry on a wig stand or head or a slender object like a can of hair spray. DO NOT USE A HAIRDRYER. Brush wig only when it is completely dry.

Q How often should I wash my wig?
A Every 2-3 weeks or when you feel it needs freshening up.

Q How do I style my wig?
A Your wig can be styled by using a wire brush, a wire pick, or your
fingertips. Your wig was designed with a basic style but the variations you
can achieve through styling are limitless. Added height can be achieved by
gently lifting with the brush. If you want added fullness as well, tease or
back comb and then smooth the surface hair over the teasing. To return your
wig to its basic style simply brush thoroughly, clean and allow to air dry.

Q What is the difference between human hair and synthetic hair?
A Human hair: more versatility, longer durability, you can use straighteners
or tongs, custom styling and colouring available.
Synthetic: easy to maintain as you can just wash and wear it, less expensive
than human hair, easy to style, pre styled.

Q What is Monofilament Wig?
A A monofilament wig is the cap within the wig that has a special two layer
construction for maximum comfort and worry-free wearing. The monofilament
construction is comfort enhanced by a special weaving technique, which
results in excellent ventilation. It also has the ability to match your own
individual scalp colour.
