This simple tips will help you take good care of your wigs or hair extensions, ensuring that they look vibrant and live for a long period of time.
Detangling
Make sure you comb the hair after each wash and everyday. When detangling the hair, please start from the ends and work up little by little to the root. Hold the base with the other hand to keep it from shedding or causing too much root tension. For curly hair, if the hair ever becomes tangled you should never try to untangle the hair while dry. You should only untangle the hair after it has been sprayed with a conditioner.
Avoid using shine products on the root area as it may cause premature shedding.
Brushing Your Wigs and Hair Extensions
Brushing should be done carefully to avoid root tension. Do not attempt to brush through the attachment unless using a very soft 100% boar Brush. Extreme tugging may result in the loss of your own hair.
Blow Drying
Take care not to lift the lace front wig when round brushing and drying your hair. Brush gently toward face. Do not brush or tug abruptly when drying hair. Press firmly around perimeter after blow drying.
Sleeping
Braid the hair when going to sleep, swimming or exercising. You MUST untangle the hair prior to braiding. NEVER sleep on wet hair, your hair must be completely dry before going to sleep as sleeping on wet lace wig WILL cause hair to be very matted.
Dry Ends
To keep hair from becoming dry, you may apply a leave in conditioner or olive oil two to three times weekly prior to shampooing. Remember that the hair on wigs or extensions do not have the benefit of your own natural scalp oils, so oilve oil and leave in conditioners will help replace those necessary oils in the hair.
Chlorine and Salt Water
Chlorine and salt water have been known to damage hair used in wigs and hair extensions. Chlorinated pools, Jacuzzis, saunas and ocean water can cause irreparable damage to the hair that I am purchasing and/or wearing and that my seller can not be held responsible if I decide to ignore such warnings. I have been advised not to expose my wig or hair extensions to chlorinated and/or salt waters and do at my own risk.
Shedding
Some hair comes sheds easier than others. Curly and longer hair will commonly shed hair more rapidly than a short hair. Shedding of hair is considered very normal.
Slippage
During the life of your lace front wig hairstyle, your lace front wig may slip. To help avoid this constantly apply firm pressure on the adhesive area, especially after showering. This will help the attachment stay
firmly attached to the scalp area. In the event of your lace front wig slipping or lifting, you can successfully re-attach using a small amount of adhesive, wait 4 minutes for it to cure, and then press firmly.
Matting
Each morning, lean your head forward and use a soft brush and gently brush your hair starting at the ends of the hair and working your way up to the root area.
Chemical Treatments
We do NOT recommend that you TINT, COLOR, PERM OR APPLY ANY EXTRA CHEMICAL TREATMENTS to the hair because in most cases it has already been chemically treated.
Also please be extra careful with blonde and other light colored hair. They are more chemically processed than dark hair. Therefore, we will not be responsible for the outcome.
All of the Following Can Cause Premature and Excessive Hair Loss:
Excessive Combing or Brushing
This will ultimately break off hair and cause premature thinning or shedding.
Unattended Matting and Tangling
Left uncorrected, excessive matting and tangling that is then removed forcefully will tighten the matted hair and tear out the hair.
Friction
From pillows or overly aggressive shampooing will break off the hair and thin and tear out the hair.
Conditioners Remaining In the Root Area
Probably the single largest factor creating major, ongoing, irreversible hair loss. Conditioners that are allowed to be absorbed onto the base and gather around the root system will ultimately prevent the root system from pivoting 360 degrees allowing for hair loss in your hair replacement. Conditioners must be rinsed out completely to avoid the breakage of the root system.
Clients with Extra Curly or Wavy Hair
For wavy or curly hair, we recommend you wet the hair every morning with a leave in conditioner. The hair is very beautiful, but requires daily maintenance. The hair should always have a level of solution in it, so that it can keep its curly texture and moist feel.
