The Luxury Wig Care Guide
A bespoke wig is an investment in your elegance. Follow our salon-tested care protocols to preserve silky lustre, protect invisible HD lace, and extend the lifespan of your crowns.
1. Wash Less Often
Wash every 10–15 wears with cool water and sulphate-free shampoo to protect cuticle oils.
2. Brush Ends First
Always detangle from tips upward using a wide-tooth comb to avoid pulling the lace knots.
3. Dry on a Stand
Never wring or twist wet hair. Air-dry naturally on a wig stand to maintain cap geometry.
How to Wash Your Wig
- Detangle gently from the ends upward before any water touches the hair.
- Use cool water and a mild, sulphate-free shampoo, stroking downward rather than rubbing.
- Rinse thoroughly, apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends, then rinse again.
- Blot with a towel and let the wig air-dry on a stand — never wring or twist.
How to Store Your Wig
- Keep the wig on a stand or mannequin head so the cap holds its shape.
- Store away from direct sunlight, heat and damp.
- Use the satin bag for travel and cover longer styles loosely to avoid friction.
How to Maintain Human Hair Wigs
- Wash only as often as needed — over-washing shortens the life of the hair.
- Apply a light leave-in or hair oil to the ends, keeping product off the lace.
- Use low heat when styling and always apply a heat protectant first.
How to Maintain Fibre Wigs
- Stay within the heat limits published for your piece; excessive heat cannot be reversed.
- Use products formulated for synthetic fibre rather than oils intended for human hair.
- Let the fibre dry fully on a stand so the original style sets again.
How to Detangle
- Work in small sections with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers.
- Start at the ends and move upward, holding the section above the knot to protect the cap.
- A light mist of water or detangling spray makes the process gentler.
How to Reduce Shedding
- Avoid pulling at the roots when combing or removing the wig.
- Keep the cap and knots dry of heavy oils.
- Sleep in a satin scarf or store the wig on a stand overnight rather than wearing it to bed.
How to Maintain Curls
- Refresh curls with water and a light curl cream, then scrunch rather than comb.
- Use a diffuser on low heat or let curls air-dry.
- Separate curls with fingertips once dry to keep definition without frizz.
Frequently Asked Care Questions
How often should I wash my human hair wig?
We recommend washing your human hair wig every 10 to 15 wears, or whenever product buildup begins to weigh the strands down. Over-washing strips the natural cuticle moisture.
Can I use heat on Japanese Futura Fibre wigs?
Yes, Japanese Futura fibre is heat-friendly up to 180°C (350°F). Always use a ceramic curling wand or flat iron with temperature control, and allow the styled curl to cool in your hand to lock in the shape.
How do I protect my HD lace from tearing or balding?
Never scratch or scrub the lace directly. When washing or detangling, hold the hair by the roots and brush from ends upward. Store your piece on a mannequin head or inside your Dallian satin dust bag.
