Before You Begin

• Not ready to wear: wash, condition and style a human hair wig before the first wear.
• Take special care with lace fronts and hairpieces. The lace is delicate, so never tug or pull on it.
• Do not sleep, shower or swim in your wig.
• Any cutting, coloring or perming should be done by a licensed professional. Lifting or bleaching is not recommended; depositing color gives the best results.
• Wigs that have been worn, cut or chemically altered cannot be returned or exchanged.

How to Detangle

• Before washing, gently detangle with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Never use a brush.
• Start at the ends and work slowly toward the base. Do not overstretch or pull the hair.

How to Wash

1. Do not soak or submerge the wig, and never use hot water. Both can damage the base.
2. Rinse under cool running water, letting it flow from roots to ends.
3. Work a small amount of shampoo through the hair, roots to ends, in a gentle downward motion. Use a shampoo designed specifically for human hair wigs and toppers, such as our Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner Set. HairUWear's CLEANSE, RESTORE and REFRESH kits are made for synthetic fiber, not human hair.
4. Rinse under cool running water until clear, then gently squeeze out the water. Never twist or wring.

How to Condition

1. Work a small amount of conditioner made for human hair wigs through the ends only, in a gentle downward motion.
2. Keep conditioner off the base and roots. It can loosen the knots and cause shedding.
3. Leave it on for 1 to 2 minutes. Leaving it on longer than 3 to 5 minutes can damage the wig.
4. Rinse under cool running water until clear, then press out the water with a clean, dry towel.

How to Dry

• Place the damp wig on a wig stand until it is completely dry.
• Lay hand-tied hairpieces flat on a colorfast towel to dry.
• Do not dry on a canvas block or mannequin head, which can overstretch the cap.

How to Heat Style

• Make sure the hair is completely dry before using a curling iron or flat iron.
• Use a heat protectant and low heat settings on blow dryers, curling irons and flat irons. High heat can scorch the hair.
• To straighten: run a flat iron through a 1-inch section from base to ends, then let it cool.
• To curl: wrap a 1-inch section around a curling iron, hold for 10 seconds and release. Steam rollers or a wet set are the safest ways to curl human hair.

Everyday Care and Storage

• Comb through with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb after each wear.
• Between washes, mist with a leave-in conditioner and comb through gently from the ends up.
• Store on a wig stand, or hang hairpieces, to prevent kinks and crimps.
