Wig Care Center

Washing Instructions

• Fill your sink basin with cool water.
• Add a capful of synthetic wig shampoo and blend in. Never use regular shampoo on synthetic 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.
• Gently swish the wig or piece in the water for about 30 seconds to a minute until the wig is saturated.
• Gently scrub the front of the wig cap, where it meets the forehead until clean.
• Leave the wig soak in the wig basin for about 15 minutes
• 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.
• Gently squeeze excess water out of wig. Do not rub or twist your wig.
• Spread the wig out on a thirsty towel 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.
• When the wig is entirely dry, and not before, re-style the wig gently. We recommend a wig pick and not a brush or wig brush. Shaking and fluffing by hand is your best starting point for wig styling. We offer good quality wig shampoo and conditioner for our customers. Do not use regular shampoo. It is too strong even for human hair wigs.

Human Hair Wigs

• Fill your sink basin with lukewarm water.
• Add a manufacturer's prescribed wig shampoo and conditioner for your human hair wig and blend in. Never use regular shampoo! 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.
• Gently swish the wig or piece in the water for about 30 seconds to a minute until the wig is saturated.
• Gently scrub the front of the wig cap, where it meets the forehead until clean.
• Leave the wig soak in the wig basin for about 15 minutes
• 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.
• Gently squeeze excess water out of wig. Do not rub or twist your wig.
• Wigs may be set in rollers if desired and placed under a dryer or left overnight to dry at your discretion. A hot curling iron may be used on human hair wigs. We offer human hair wig conditioner and shampoo for our customers.

Styling Instructions

Can I use a blow drier or curling iron on my wig?
Do not use blow drier on your synthetic wig! Excessive heat will melt or frizz the plastic in your wig's Kanikelon fibers.

Curling Instructions

Take the pinned up wig to the sink basin. If you have a spray nozzle at your basin it is best to "spray" the hottest tap water on each set curl for about 3-4 seconds. This process, relaxes the wig hair without damaging the wig like a curling iron.

When you are done relaxing all the wig's curls, immediately spray each curl, in approximately the same order as you "relaxed" them with icy cold tap water. You can also use a mist bottle, filled with some ice and water. This "freezes" the wig's curl into a new semi-permanent curl pattern.

Allow your wig hair to air dry overnight, and when dry, take down the rollers. Now you've reset your wig's curls the most professional way possible. In the "old days" we used to do these services for our wig customers, for a charge. Today's wigs are so easy to care for that we recommend the above these procedures for home care. It saves money, mailing charges, and this is exactly what we would do with your wig anyway.
