You have arrived, and I am overjoyed to see you. It is my belief that we all have the right to feel comfortable in our own skin, and that having beautiful hair can assist us in doing so. I believe that when we feel empowered, we are more likely to present ourselves in the most favorable light possible for others to see. The purpose of this week's lesson is to familiarize you with the process of maintaining and styling your new hair!

Dressing a human or synthetic wig is a simple process that provides a wide range of styling options for a variety of looks. There are also a number of different approaches that can be used to achieve the appearance that you desire. Based on my more than 15 years of experience working with wigs and hair extensions, I'm going to share my best practices for preserving your investment while also making you feel as though your hair addition has become a natural part of your overall appearance. For the most part, all of the advice I'm going to give you can be done from the comfort of your own home. All of these services are, however, available in-studio if you are unsure of what you need or simply prefer that we handle everything for you.

WIGS CAN'T possibly get wet, can they, or should they?

No, cool water will not damage your wig, as previously stated. Synthetic hair has been styled and baked into it, and once it has dried, the hair will revert to its original state. In the event that you are wearing human hair wigs and your hair has been wet for an extended period of time, you will need to restyle your hair. After styling your human hair wig, the style should last until you wash it (assuming you're washing your wig once a week, as we recommend for daily wear) or get the hair moist again.

DO YOU KNOW IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO WASH WIGS?

It is recommended that they wash their wigs every 7 to 10 times they wear them, depending on how often they are worn. Whether it's a human being or a synthetic, as I always say, you can always tell when something needs to be cleaned up. They can also become dull in color and have makeup build up around the hairline of the wig, in addition to losing their shape. Depending on how often you wear your wig, you may only need to wash it every few weeks or once a month at the most in this case.

CAN THE COLOR OF WIGS BE MODIFIED?

Yes, it is possible to dye human hair wigs after they have been purchased. To create depth or to add rooting at the crown of the head, low lights can be easily added to the hairstyle. The wigs should not be lightened because when the wigs are lightened, the color does not light evenly or at all, resulting in an unnatural appearance.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO DRESS WIGS IN A SPECIAL WAY?

Heat tools (curling irons and flat irons) can be used on human hair wigs at a medium heat setting, and it is recommended that you use a medium heat setting when styling. In addition, synthetic HD fiber (heat defiant fiber) is capable of withstanding moderate heat conditions. Just make sure to give the style time to cool and solidify before moving on.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CURL WOMEN'S WIG?

The answer is YES, human hair wigs can be curled or straightened with a curling iron or a straightening iron if they are made of natural hair. If you have synthetic hair, the curl pattern is baked into the hair, so when you wash the hair, the curl pattern will return as well.

THE POSSIBILITY OF INCLUDING WIGS IN PONYTAILS.

YES, low ponytails are acceptable, and even a ponytail as short as 12 inches is appropriate. The use of a ponytail with synthetic hair may occasionally result in the formation of a cold set (indentation) in the hair; if this occurs, we can steam out the indentation for you.
