How to Care for and Wash Your Natural or Mixed Hair Wig.

Wigs, extensions or pieces of hair made of human hair withstand intense chemical processing during their production, in order to maintain them correctly, it is necessary to use specially formulated care products; it is important to use only products that are specific to this type of wigs, do not use standard products that you use for organic hair, as chemicals can decrease their life and spoil the cap.


It is not necessary to wash them daily, in fact, it is not recommended; every time you wash your wig, its shelf life is shortened, so it should be washed when it is dirty and not before. If you wear your wig every day, about 10 hours, it's normal for you to wash 1 time a week. You can always lengthen your wash if you use a special hat under a wig that will help absorb the oils from the scalp and keep the helmet cleaner for longer, in addition to providing you with a plus of comfort.


Always store your wig on a stand that is smaller than the wig cap, to prevent it from stretching. And it is preferable that you keep it in a place where you do not give direct sunlight. If you're going to go time without using it, protect it with a natural fiber cloth or bag, such as cotton or linen.


Do not wear a wig while you sleep, you can cause her to lose hair or break.
