Many wigs are offered with wig combs in the nape area. They are added for security, however, much of the hair in the nape area gets caught in the combs. Modify your wig by removing the combs and using a wig gripper or adjustable straps to keep your wig in place.

A plastic or rubber comb will collect negative charges on its surface and produce static in the hair. Use a styling comb or brush that is specifically designed for wigs. If a plastic comb or brush is used, lightly spray the tool with an antistatic agent such as Static GuardÂŽ before styling to create a barrier to repel the static.

Long hair tends to bunch up around the nape area when wearing necklaces and large collars. Finger comb and detangle your hair periodically throughout the day to reduce hair collecting in the affected area.

Synthetic wigs tend to lose style and shape when the fibers develop static electricity or cling. Fabric softener contains ingredients that have a positive charge that will create a balance between the ions. Synthetic hair doesn’t have real moisture like human hair, so it tends to be very dry. Fabric softener acts as a great conditioning agent. • • •

Use 2 parts fabric softener with two parts cold water. Add the water and softener into a spray bottle and mix well. Spritz your wig with the mixture and allow to air dry completely before styling.
Avoid subjecting your wig to excessive amounts of heat. Use extreme caution when around hot ovens, stoves and grills. The fibers of synthetic wigs will be permanently damaged as the heat will singe the hair. Also avoid extreme amounts of sun and a heated neck (sweat).

Adding an extra weft to the lower section of the nape area will weigh the hair down, thus restricting excessive movement across the back.

Flip your hair and “lightly” add oil to your strands.** **This is normally not suggested for synthetic fibers, but we’ve found that a light Moroccan oil or Shea Moisture Edge Treatment works wonders!!

Free your hair of all tangles before retiring at the end of the day. It is suggested that your wig is removed each night. However, if you are not able to do so, detangle your hair, pull it up into a high clip or bun and sleep on a satin pillow case.
