Hair Care Tips
Braid Wigs
Pre-Install
Upon unpacking, your unit may have slight crinkles from packaging. You may dip the ends in hot water to remove crinkles — this applies only to box braids or cornrow units.
Do NOT dip spring twist, kinky twist, passion twist, faux locs, butterfly locs, boho braids, goddess braids, dreads, or crochet locs into hot water. This will cause damage.
All units come with bleached knots. You may bleach the knots further if desired. We recommend removing bleach with a towel — do not submerge the lace in water, as this may cause braids to unravel.
Take Down
Remove all adhesive from the unit using alcohol or adhesive remover. Lightly shampoo with warm water, condition, and rinse (we recommend OGX Morocco shampoo/conditioner or your preferred products). Pat dry, apply a firm-hold styling mousse to tame flyaways, and trim as needed. Place on a wig head to dry.
We recommend washing only cornrow and box braid units unless you are confident in maintaining the integrity of the style. For all other braided/twisted units, clean only the lace thoroughly and refresh the hair with dry shampoo to maintain longevity.
To keep your unit looking fresh, secure edges with a scarf or bandana at night and wear a protective bonnet while sleeping to prevent frizz.
Remember to care for your natural hair underneath. Do not let your wigs stay damp frequently — this can lead to bacterial buildup.
Lace Wigs
Installation
Use caution when bleaching — HD lace is thin and delicate. Incorrect bleaching can cause over-processing and shedding.
Use 10–20 volume developer and do not leave bleach on longer than 5–10 minutes. Knots lift quickly; monitor closely to avoid damage.
Maintenance
Before washing, make sure all glue residue is removed from the lace.
Use a wig-safe comb and a wide-tooth comb for curly hair. Brush gently from the ends up to minimize shedding.
Wash with lukewarm or cold water. We recommend Aussie Total Miracle shampoo and conditioner. Avoid applying conditioner directly to the roots. Leave conditioner on for 3–4 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Pat dry with a clean towel. Place the unit on a stand or mannequin head and allow it to air dry.
For Deep Wave or Curly units, we recommend Aunt Jackie's:
• Curl La La Defining Curl Custard
• Grapeseed Ice Curls Jelly
• Curl Boss Coconut Curling Gelee
These help maintain shine, moisture, and curl pattern.
Bedtime Care
Before bed, braid the hair into one loose large braid and wear a satin scarf or bonnet.
In the morning, undo the braid and gently detangle using a wide-tooth comb or paddle brush, working from ends to roots.
Style as needed.
