1. Daily Care Brushing: Use a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush to gently detangle your hair system. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid pulling on the base. Avoid brushing when the hair is wet, as it’s more susceptible to breakage. Styling: Use heat styling tools sparingly. If you must use them, apply a heat protectant spray and keep the temperature at the lowest setting. Avoid products containing alcohol, which can dry out the hair and cause damage. For synthetic hair systems, avoid heat styling tools altogether, as they can melt the fibbers.

 

2. Washing Your Hair System Frequency: Wash your hair system every 1-2 weeks, depending on how often you wear it and your activity level. Over-washing can strip essential oils and reduce the system’s lifespan. Shampooing: Use a sulphate-free, mild shampoo designed for hair systems or colour-treated hair. Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of shampoo. Submerge the hair system and gently swish it around without rubbing or scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly with cool water to remove all shampoo residues. Conditioning: Apply a conditioner designed for hair systems or human hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Avoid applying conditioner directly to the base or roots, as this can loosen the knots. Let the conditioner sit for a few minutes, then rinse with cool water. Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water using a soft towel—do not wring or twist the hair. Place the hair system on a wig stand or mannequin head to air dry. Avoid using a hairdryer, but if necessary, use the coolest setting.

 

3. Storage When Not in Use: Store your hair system on a wig stand or in a box designed for hair systems. This helps maintain the shape and prevents tangling. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity to avoid damage.

​

4. Adhesive and Attachment Care Cleaning the Base: Remove any adhesive residue from the base using a gentle adhesive remover. Clean the base with a mild soap or specialized cleaner and allow it to dry completely before reattaching. Attachment Tips: If using tapes or adhesives, ensure your scalp is clean and dry before application. Reattach the hair system carefully to avoid stretching or damaging the base.

 

5. Nighttime Care Before Bed: Gently brush out any tangles before bed. Consider wearing a silk or satin cap or sleeping on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent tangling.

 

6. Professional Maintenance Regular Check-ups: Visit a hair system specialist every 4-5 weeks for professional cleaning, maintenance, and reattachment. This helps to ensure your hair system remains in top condition and identifies any issues early on.

 

7. Avoiding Common Pitfalls Exposure to Chlorine and Saltwater: If swimming, protect your hair system by wearing a swim cap or avoiding chlorinated pools and saltwater. Chlorine and salt can damage the hair fibbers and the base. Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to the sun can fade the colour of your hair system. Wear a hat or use a UV-protectant spray to shield your hair.

 

8. Emergency Repairs Quick Fixes: Keep a small kit with adhesive, tape, and a comb for quick touch-ups while on the go. If you experience any significant issues, consult your hair system provider or specialist rather than attempting major repairs yourself.
