Yes, but not too often. Unless there’s product build-up (like oils, heavy styling products or makeup) on the lace or hair, you only need to wash your wig once a month.

I also offer a professional Wig Wash, Treat & Restyle service if you prefer not to do it at home.

Use salon-quality, gentle shampoos and conditioners designed for human hair or wig care. Avoid harsh shampoos with suphates or heavy chemicals.

Use a soft-bristle brush or a wide-tooth comb. Always start detangling from the ends and work upwards to the roots to prevent pulling or breakage.

Ideally, store on a wig stand or block head. This keeps the shape intact and helps maintain the cap structure.

If you don’t have a stand, use the satin bag provided. Be sure to brush through first to remove tangles before storing.

All my hairpieces are professionally coloured, and over time, colour can fade or dull, Especially with frequent washing, heat styling, or exposure to sun and chlorine.

To help preserve it:

• Use colour-safe shampoos/conditioners
  
• Wash with lukewarm or cool water (avoid hot water)
  
• Use heat-protectant spray any time you heat-style, and avoid excessive heat tools
  

If you’d like, I offer a Colour Refresh service to bring vibrancy back.

Sleeping in your wig/topper — try to avoid it. Sleeping can cause friction and tangling, which often shortens lifespan by up to half.

Swimming or exposure to chlorine/saltwater — not recommended while wearing a wig. These elements can strip colour and dry out or damage fibres.

Exercise / sweating — fine, but ensure you wash any sweat and oils off before next wear. If you wear your wig often while active, aim for more frequent care.

Yes. You can change parting or restyle. Spritz the roots with water, re-part, and lightly blow-dry (if needed), always using a heat protectant.

You can use heat tools on human hair wigs — but only occasionally, and always on low heat. Frequent heat styling will dry the hair and shorten its lifespan.

1. Handle gently. Avoid tugging, harsh brushing, or rough detangling. The lace and knots are delicate.

2. Wash only when needed, using gentle products and cool water.

3. Use a soft brush or wide-tooth comb, detangling from ends upward.

4. Use leave-in conditioners or serums on lengths and ends to keep hair nourished (but avoid heavy products near the lace or roots).

5. Minimise heat styling. When necessary, always use a protector and low heat.

6. Store carefully. Ideally on a wig stand, away from direct sunlight or damp.
