| >> Cutting, Shaping & Styling Your Wig | [−] |
Your wig comes pre-styled and may be packaged inside out to eliminate coldest assuring a ready-in-an-instant style. Since everyone has a different face shape, forehead length, and different style preferences, we suggest having the wig initially customized by a professional hair stylist while you are wearing it. A little trim on the bangs and a little thinning here or there can make all the difference in the world. Remember, you should never brush, pick, comb or curl a wet wig unless you are resetting it entirely.
| >> DIY (Do It Yourself) Cutting, Shaping & Styling Your Wig | [−] |
Step 1
Brush your wig gently using a wig brush or pick. Remember, using a brush designed for regular human hair will damage your wig.
Step 2
Put on your wig before you trim it. It is important to actually have your wig on to avoid mistakes while trimming and shaping. Remember, the hair won’t grow back if you make a mistake, so please take your time.
Step 3
Use thinning shears to remove some off the excess bulk out of your wig, it will lay better and look more natural. Put the thinning shears right up against the base of the wig before cutting so you won't leave stubble everywhere.
Step 4
Trim the bangs of the wig by pulling them down straight and cutting them like you would your real hair. Always cut wig hair a little longer than you want it so you can fix any mistakes.
Step 5
Cut the rest of the hair if you desire, just trim a little at a time as you would your own hair. Remember, if you rush, you could end up with an unwearable wig.
Step 6
Ensure that your new haircut is even by putting it on a wig stand and taking a close look. Trim any pieces you missed.

Step 1
Before washing your human hair wig, brush gently, or use a detangling comb from the tips of the wig to the base/roots. Never begin combing at the top or middle, this will damage and tangle the unit.
Step 2
Fill a basin with cold or cool water, add a dash of your favorite mild shampoo, Silicon Mix, Ionix, or Nearly Natural shampoo and swish gently. This will remove any sprayed on chemicals, buildup or residue. Do Not rub or twist hair!
Step 3
Rinse thoroughly then lightly squeeze hair in cold water making sure Not to rub the hair.
Step 4
Towel blot your wig gently in a patting motion, then place the unit on your wig stand to drip dry or wet set while it is still damp. You may use a spray bottle filled with diluted setting lotion or water to keep the hair moist as you work with the hair to style it. This will assist the hair to adhere to the rollers and give a good curl to the ends of the hair. If you prefer to use a flat iron or curling iron, let the unit air dry overnight or place the wig under a hard hat dryer on LOW, 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on the length of the wig. Style the wig to your liking using gentle strokes with a comb or wig brush. Spray a light mist of hair spray or spritz to seal the curls, then style as desired.
Step 5
Remove the wig from the wig stand and try your freshly styled human hair wig on to see how it looks. You may need to add a few finishing touches to personalize the style of the wig to fit your face.
Step 6
Long hair products should be braided in a few sections for sleeping or swimming to prevent tangling of the hair.
Step 7
Don't sleep on wet hair. It will matt and tangle up.
