Do's and don'ts

TAKING CARE OF YOUR WIGS ALSO MEANS TAKING THESE PRECAUTIONS...

Avoid heat:

• Steam from boiling water
• A preheated oven
• Curling iron
• Blow dryer
• Clothes dryer
• Cigarette lighter
• Barbeque grill
• Any heated hair appliances

Never brush or touch your wig when it is wet from:

• Water
• Steam
• Rain
• Snow
• Excessive wig spray
• Perspiration

Friction from the following will also damage wig fiber:

• Upholstered furniture
• High collars
• Bed pillows

CHECKLIST FOR PROPER WIG HANDLING

• Shake and brush your new wig - don't be shy about it.
• Prepare your own hair using pin curls, spray, or a wig cap liner. This creates an even, natural look under your wig.
• When you put on a wig, remember to position the ear tabs in front of the ears. This ensures that the wig is centered.
• Check the fit and adjust the velcro tabs, if needed.
• Finally, tuck in any stray hairs.

CHECKLIST FOR PROPER CARE

• Brush your wig before washing to remove tangles and spray buildup.
• Use only wig shampoo.
• Handle your wig gently: never rub, twist, or wring.
• Air dry your wig by hanging it loosely.
• Use wig conditioner with Kaneka Oil for luster and mobility.

CHECKLIST FOR STYLING TECHNIQUES

• Use a chinstrap or blockhead.
• Brush according to style: short strokes on wigs with waves and curls, long strokes on smooth styles, and lifting movements with a pic comb on styles with ringlet curls.
• Use conditioner and wig spray lightly on the areas you touched up.

CHECKLIST FOR EXTENDING WIG LIFE

• Use only wig care products; they are gentle on a wig's synthetic fiber.
• Avoid damaging your wig from heat, combing when wet or friction.
