STYLING & WEARING TIPS

HOW TO STYLE WIGS

General Tips:

  1. Don't try to get every hair perfectly in place. This can make your wig look "un-natural".
  2. Use, wig brushes, combs and other styling accessories. They make styling easier and extend the life of your wig.
  3. Don't be afraid to use hair mousse or gel to achieve a certain style.
  4. Have fun experimenting with different looks!

Synthetic Hair Style:

  1. Try the "shake and go" method. Many styles need only a good shake or finger styling and they're ready to wear.
  2. For tight curly or ringlet styles give the wig a vigorous shake, then gently lift and separate the curls with a pick comb or your fingers. DO NOT BRUSH.
  3. For wavy styles with loose curls, brush lightly with a wig styling brush or pick comb using short, lifting strokes - just enough to relax the style.
  4. For long curly styles, use your fingers or a pick comb to gently lift and separate the curls. DO NOT BRUSH.
  5. For straight styles, brush in long, even, gentle strokes from the crown to the ends for a smooth, sleek look.
  6. After each wearing, spray the ends of your wig with wig conditioner. Gently remove any tangles.
  7. Never expose your wig to heated styling tools such as hair dryers and curling irons or other heat sources.

Human Hair Style:

  1. Always use a wide tooth or pick comb for curly styles and a wire brush for straight styles. Avoid standard brushes.
  2. When brushing, start at the ends and gently work your way to the roots.
  3. To completely restyle your human hair wig, we suggest taking it to your stylist. If you decide to restyle it yourself, please follow these guidelines:
    • Place wig on wig stand. Use standard or electric rollers or pin curls.
    • Remove tangles with a wire brush or wide toothcomb.
    • Pick up hair and wind on roller, smoothing ends as you go.
    • Use medium setting with electric rollers or hair dryer. With hair dryer about 12" from wig, circulate heat evenly and continuously.
    • Allow hair to cool before removing rollers or pin curls.
    • Lightly brush or backcomb desired areas and spray with hair spray.
