How to care for your Wig or topper at home

Elevate the Beauty, Longevity & Confidence of Your Investment

Your human hair wig or topper is more than a style - it’s a statement of confidence, comfort, and individuality. With the right care, your piece will continue to look and feel luxurious for years to come. Here’s how to maintain its natural softness, shine, and integrity.

Brush. Cleanse. Style. Protect.

To protect your investment, always use high-quality, sulfate-free, alcohol-free, and protein-free products. These formulas preserve the moisture and elasticity of the hair, preventing dryness, matting, and damage.

Washing your wig or topper

How Often to Wash:

Every 15–20 wears, depending on lifestyle, product use, and activity level. Less frequent washing extends the life of your piece.

1. Detangle Gently: Begin at the ends and work your way up with a wide-tooth comb.

2. Rinse with Care: Use cool or lukewarm water. Hold the lace or base area to prevent tangling.

3. Shampoo Softly: Lather shampoo in your hands first, then massage gently through the hair and cap.

4. Condition Wisely: Apply conditioner from mid-length to ends—avoid the knots at the base. Rinse in cool water to seal the cuticle and enhance shine.

5. Dry Delicately: Towel blot, then blow dry on a stand using low to medium heat. Avoid direct sunlight.

Tip: Always finish with a light serum or leave-in conditioner to restore softness and shine.

Helpful Tips

If you're experiencing extreme itching, I want you to wash your hair. Sometimes new hair can be sticking out from the packaging, but also be sure to blow dry your hair in a downward motion with the direction of the hair, and never upside down.

Are you going to the gym or for a ride in the convertible or just with your window down? Be sure to secure your hair in braids or a ponytail if you're going to do anything that makes your hair start to tangle.

Always keep a brush nearby to detangle your hair quickly.

Don't forget that your extensions are attached to your head. Please make sure you or someone else doesn't pull on it.

Please make sure you gently brush your hair at least three times per day.

When shampooing and drying your hair, be sure to work in sections. Working from the nape to the top of your head. Securing the rest of your hair up with an alligator clip.
