Synthetic Wig & Hairpiece Care Your synthetic wig/hairpiece is an investment. If you take proper care of your investment, it should maintain its curl and last you several years. Do not expose your synthetic wig/hairpiece to extreme heat. Heat from cooking, steam, blow dryers, and curling irons can and will melt the synthetic hair fiber. Do not use a comb, brush, or pick on your wig. Untangle any matted curls using your fingers, only, and use our Wig Styling Spray to style (spray and gently scrunch with your hand - do not use sprays on Nicole wig. Simple restyle loose curls using your fingers)). Use your fingers, as well, to reform any curls that need it. Unless you are wearing your wig/hairpiece daily, you should not have to wash it very often (Nicole wigs shoudl not be washed.). We recommend washing only once a year. See washing instructions below. After wearing your Bridget, Ciara, Brenna, Riley or Claire hairpiece, spray twice with our Wig Leave-In Conditioner & Lusterizer and twice with our Wig Styling Spray, then gently scrunch with your hand and put the wig back in a hairnet to hold the curls. After wearing your Molly 3/4 cap wig, we recommend letting it air out and dry on one of our Folding Wig Stands. After it is completely dry, spray twice with our Wig Leave-in Conditioner & Lusterizer and twice with our Wig Styling Spray, then gently scrunch with your hand and put a hairnet around the wig. You can store the wig with hairnet in one of our stay-dry wig bags. After wearing your Nicole 3/4 cap wig with protective coating, we again recommend letting it air dry on one of our Folding Wig Stands. After your wig is completely dry, do not spray it with anything. The protective coating on this wig is all that is needed to maintain luster and to keep your wig frizz free. Simply fold your wig comb to comb and store it in your hairnet and then in one of our stay-dry wig bags. Washing Your Wig/Hairpiece Unless you are wearing your wig/hairpiece every day (which you probably are not, since it is for dancing) you should only need to wash it once a year. To wash your wig/hairpiece, follow these instructions: (Do not wash Nicole wigs) 1. Fill your sink basin with cool water. 2. Add a capful of synthetic wig shampoo and blend in. Never use regular shampoo on synthetic wigs and hairpieces. If the wig has picked up the odor of smoke or other strong odors, you may add a teaspoonful of baking soda to your basin and blend in. 3. Gently swish the wig or hairpiece in the water for about 30 seconds until the wig is saturated. 4. Let the wig/hairpiece soak in the basin for about 10 minutes. 5. Empty the basin of water and rinse the wig or hairpiece in cool water. It is very important to use cool water on curly wigs, because warm water will over-relax the curl. 6. Gently squeeze excess water out of your wig or hairpiece. Do not rub or twist. 7. Spread the wig or hairpiece out on an absorbent towel and leave in a ventilated area to dry overnight. You should spray a little wig lusterizer on the piece when you start the drying process. 8. When the wig is entirely dry, and not before, re-style your wig gently with your fingers. Wrap curls around your fingers to reform them if they are matted down. Gently shake and fluff by hand. Spray with a little wig styling spray and lightly scrunch by hand.
