Use
shampoo specifically formulated to clean wigs. In
a sink or basin, mix one capful of wig shampoo with
COLD water and immerse wig for 10 - 15 minutes. (If
you forget about your wig, don't worry. Nothing will
happen to it.)
Press
out water between the palms of you hands - do not
wring. Rinse wig gently in COLD water until all shampoo
is removed.
Fill
sink or basin with COLD water. Add one to two capfuls
of wig conditioner to water. Gently swish wig through
conditioned water; press out water between palms of
hands; lay wig on towel; fold top of towel over wig
and press out excess water.
Allow
wig to air dry on a wig-saver stand. Do not dry wig
on a styrofoam head - it will stretch the wig cap.
Do not brush or comb wig until it is completely dry.
When completely dry, shake it loose, brush, comb,
or finger-comb. Use only wig spray to finish styling.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a hairdryer, curling iron, or other curing
aid. Cigarette heat and excessive heat and steam from
cooking and dishwashers will damage fibers or wig.
Remember the arm's length rule for cooking!
If
you wear your wig everyday, wash it every 3 weeks
in winter; every 2 weeks in hot, humid weather.
