Investing in a high-quality hair system is only the first step toward achieving a natural and long-lasting look. Proper maintenance is crucial to extend its lifespan and keep it looking flawless. Here are essential dos and don’ts for caring for your hair system.
Dos:
- Clean Regularly: Use sulfate-free and gentle shampoos to clean your hair system. Wash it as recommended by your specialist, typically every 1-2 weeks.
- Moisturize: Keep the hair hydrated by applying a light conditioner, especially if it’s made of human hair.
- Protect from Heat: Use heat-protectant sprays when styling and avoid exposing your hair system to extreme temperatures.
- Store Properly: When not in use, store your hair system on a mannequin or wig stand to maintain its shape.
- Visit Professionals: Schedule regular maintenance appointments with a specialist to ensure proper attachment and adjustments.
Don’ts:
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Refrain from using products with alcohol or sulfates as they can damage the hair and base material.
- Don’t Sleep in It: If possible, remove your hair system before sleeping to prevent tangling and unnecessary wear.
- Stay Away from Chlorine: Wear a swimming cap or avoid swimming in chlorinated pools, as chlorine can degrade the hair and adhesive.
- Don’t Tug or Pull: Handle your hair system gently to prevent shedding or detachment.
- Skip Regular Cleaning: Failing to clean your hair system can lead to product buildup and odor.
With proper care, your hair system can maintain its natural look and comfort for months or even years. Always follow your manufacturer’s or stylist’s recommendations to get the most out of your investment.
