Care Tips to Avoid Damaging Your Curly Wig
-
Do not shake or agitate curly wigs when you take them out of the box.
-
If the curl or wave starts a little lower from the hairline, brush the top and part the hair, but only finger style the ends.
-
Place the hairnet on the wig when washing to avoid weighing down and separating the curls.
Use a leave-in conditioner and reshape the curls using your fingers.
