Please do not use anything from the supermarket or chemist as it must be recommended by a hairdresser or a BHB team member.

WASH YOUR WIG REGULARLY

For those who are using their piece daily, we strongly recommend you washing your piece every 1-2 weeks and for more intermediate use, wash every 2-3 weeks.

Between washes, wipe down the inside of your hair piece cap with a baby wipe to remove any excess oil build up coming from your scalp.

WASH YOUR WIG LIKE A PROFESSIONAL

Step 1 - Using your new BHB soft bristle brush, take all the knots out first. Starting with the nape and ends and then gently working out any knots. .

Step 2 - Shampoo the hair twice (using your salon quality hydrating shampoo) and rinse thoroughly each time.

Washing can be done under running water in a sink or shower. Remember to only use only SALON QUALITY hydrating Shampoo. We recommend and use in our salon the V&M Hydrating Shampoo - BUY NOW.

Step 3 - Condition the hair with a salon quality conditioner or a treatment mask. Focusing on the ends and working your way up to the top of the piece. We recommend and use in our salon the Wella Fusion Intense Repair Treatment Mask (we use this as conditioner) - BUY NOW

Step 4 - Gently towel dry... gently! If you have time to let the piece dry naturally after a towel dry this would be best. However if you need to blow dry for a quick result then blast dry at a 20cm distance.

STYLE AT HOME LIKE A PROFESSIONAL

Yes, you style your wigs at home with heat tools we just ask you to make sure you are using the correct tools and heat protection products. We use a GHD or the Glam Palm tools for beachy waves and to straighten the wigs.

Please do not blow dry the hair with a brush, pulling on it from wet to dry, as it will pull the hair our prematurely when the knots are still wet and looser. Allow the hair to dry to 95% before blow waving with a brush and pulling any tension onto the hair. It is best to air dry or blast dry the wig with a hair dryer prior to commencing the style blow dry.

Check our the videos on How to style the wigs at home like a professional:

We recommend the Evo - Icon Welder heat protectant - BUY NOW

STORAGE FOR YOUR WIG OR TOPPER

To ensure the longevity of your piece, we need to make sure your hair is safely stored for protection, after all doesn’t everyone want to live a little longer? Each client is provided with a beautiful BHB satin lined box to store your new wig or topper when it isn’t being used. If you purchase a full wig from us, you will also receive a pop up wig stand which you can also travel with. Place your wig on the stand of an evening or when you are not wearing it, to help keep the style and shape in tact.

The sun is strong so it can lighten and dry out the hair over a period of time so your piece may need some extra hydration! If you need us to give your piece a wash and deluxe treatment wig make over for a beautiful refresh we would love to help bring your hair back to life.

Wigs that have been coloured will also require regular maintenance to keep the colour looking fresh and as it was when you bought it.

HUMAN HAIR WIG OR TOPPER REPAIRS

If the piece tears or is damaged it should be looked at by a professional repairer right away to determine the scope of the repair and the urgency to make sure no further damage will be caused to the piece. It can be tempting to scratch the piece if you feel an itch however we advise using your fingers to tap at the irritated area, this will avoid repeated friction to the area, potentiality causing damage. If you can, it would be best to remove the piece to avoid scratching through the cap.

Zzzz...

Sleeping in the hair can cause damage to the delicate hairs, we advise against doing this if it is possible for you. If you choose to sleep in your piece (which is ok too!) that is a very personal choice and you just need to be mindful it may not last as long.
