Hair Care

So you have taken the plunge and purchased your very own human hair wig, congratulations! Even though The Beautiful Hair Boutique has the highest quality human hair wigs for women, it is still super important that you look after your new mane with a little TLC so it can stay luscious and beautiful for as long as possible.

Here are our top 5 tips to care for your hair!

1. Salon quality stuff only please! We strongly recommend using only salon quality hair products that have been specifically designed to wash and moisturise human hair wigs. When you purchase a wig or hairpiece from The BHB you will be gifted a set of our fave - V&M Shampoo and Conditioner as this has been formulated to perfection!

2. Wash your wig like a professional - How? Follow these easy steps:

- Take all the knots out first! Lay your wig down flat and detangle the hair with love.

- Rinse the hair roots to ends in luke warm water

- Double shampoo and then condition the wig (with your salon quality shampoo)

- Towel dry (gently please!)

- Leave the hair to dry a little before you start to brush, this give the root knots time to dry

Viola your hair is clean!

3. Feeling the need to straighten or curl your wig? That's ok, but lets just make sure you are using the correct tools. Our wigs are made from virgin European hair and premium processed hair so stay clear of any tools that are too heavy on the heat, as we would hate for you to damage the hair. We recommend only professional salon quality that will protect the hair.

4. Easy on the brush! We know it can be tempting to brush away, but remember to be gently with your wig! Our wigs are strong and secure but do still need that extra love!

5. Store her away safely. Did you know our Human Hair Wigs have feelings too? So we need to make sure she (or he) is safely stored so they will hold her style and also help them live a little longer. After all doesn't everyone want to live a little longer?

Lastly ladies, enjoy your wigs! Let them become a part of you and love them like they are your own hair.

Human Hair CARE INSTRUCTIONS

How do I shampoo and condition my hair?

• Prior to washing your beautiful new human hair wig or hair piece make sure you gently remove any knots with a paddle hair brush or wide tooth comb.
• We recommend you wash the hair under cold water. Hold your hair under cool running water and using a high quality shampoo and shampoo the hair twice and rinse thoroughly. Making sure whilst shampooing the hair is travelling in the same direction. DO NOT rub the hair as this may cause your beautiful wig or hairpiece to tangle.
• Rinse the hair thoroughly in cool running water.
• Apply conditioner, avoiding the base cap of the wig or hairpiece as applying conditioner to the base cap of the wig or hairpiece may weaken the delicate knots.
• Using your fingers, work the conditioner through the ends of the hair for 3-5 minutes and then rinse hair thoroughly again, in cool running water.
• Voila! Your beautiful hair will be clean!

What Shampoo and Conditioner do I use?

• We recommend the boutique hair care brand Victoria and Maude, Australian made and works brilliantly with your human hair wig or hairpiece.
• Alternatively, a high quality (preferably salon quality) shampoo and conditioner will work.

How often do I wash my hair?

• Depending on your level of activity, we advise you wash your wig or hairpiece every 6-8 wears.

How do I dry my hair?

• Once cleaned, wrap your hair in a towel and gently pat to remove any excess water.
• DO NOT use a brush to detangle your human hair wig or hairpiece whilst it is still wet, we recommend you only use a wide tooth comb.
• Using a round boar-bristle/nylon brush, work through the hair starting at the nape. Blow dry the hair in a downwards motion to smooth and direct the hair.
• For an extra smooth finish you can add a hair treatment prior to blow drying.

Can I use heat styling tools on my hair?

• We recommend you use ONLY professional grade heat styling tools with digital temperature settings to control the heat.
• Heat styling tools should be set to no higher than 180C or 350F.
• To further protect the hair we recommend you spray the hair with a Thermal Treatment Spray.
