Professional Insider Tips
Secrets from our expert stylists
Heat Protection
Always use heat protectant before styling. Keep heat tools below 300°F for synthetic wigs and 350°F for human hair wigs.
Proper Drying
Air dry whenever possible. If using a blow dryer, use cool setting and keep it moving to prevent heat damage.
Professional Maintenance
Schedule professional maintenance every 6-8 weeks to keep your wig in optimal condition and extend its lifespan.
Rotation System
If you wear wigs daily, consider having 2-3 wigs to rotate. This allows proper rest time and extends overall lifespan.
