Tipp des Tages : 16 August

Maintaining natural hair wig


A wig should be regularly maintained so that it lasts.
We begin by dusting the hair by hand. Then, if it is a straight hair wig, brush on the hair; if it is a curly hai wig, untangle hair gently.
The next step is to wash the hair with warm water, with a shampoo for dry hair.
Once dried, hair can be done, straightened or curled.
You can also apply suitable moisturizers and conditioners, on dry wig.
