Synthetic Fiber Care Instructions:
You’ve
made an important investment in your look by purchasing your wig. You want to
protect that investment by taking the best possible care of your wig to ensure
its longevity.
The key
word: GENTLE!
• Store your
wig on a wig stand or mannequin in a cool, dry location, safe from extreme
temperatures.
• If you wear a
wig regularly, try to have at least two to choose from, and rotate them to
extend their wearable life.
• Only use care
products that are specially formulated for your wig. Never use hairspray
formulated for human hair, as it can cause the fibers to deteriorate.
• Envy’s wig
care products include a set of four travel-sized liquids: Wash and Wear
Shampoo, Tangle Tamer Leave-In Conditioner, Shine On Lusterizer, and Freeze
Frame Hair Spray. Also available are Envy’s Detox Anti-Bacterial Spray, Renu
and Repair Glosser Spray, and Beauty Balm Sculpting Crème.
• Shampoo your wig as needed (weekly, after
5–6 wears, or simply when it looks and feels like it needs shampooing) with
Wash and Wear Shampoo by Envy. If you use synthetic wig care products, such as
mousse, gel, spray, etc., you may need to shampoo and condition your wig more
often.
• Be gentle
when shampooing your wig; never twist or rub it. Use only cool or cold water,
as hot water could damage the fibers. Pay special attention to the areas around
the face where makeup and oil can accumulate.
1)
DETANGLE:
Very gently, use a wide-tooth comb to remove any tangles. With longer wigs,
begin by gently separating the strands with your fingers, starting at the tips
of the strands and working your way to the base. You can apply a bit of Envy’s
Tangle Tamer Leave-In Conditioner to make de-tangling easier.
2)
SHAMPOO:
To keep your wig looking vibrant, use Envy’s Wash and Wear Shampoo. Fill a sink
or bowl with two quarts of cool water, add the directed amount of wig shampoo,
and immerse your wig. Allow it to soak for five minutes.
3)
RINSE:
Refill the sink with clean, cool water, immerse the wig, and gently agitate
until all the suds are gone. You may also run cool water from the tap over the
wig, making sure the water flows from the base of the strands to the tips.
* If necessary, repeat either just the rinse cycle or the complete wash and rinse
process.
4) CONDITION: After
shampooing with Envy’s Wash and Wear shampoo spray a generous amount of Tangle
Tamer Leave In Conditioner on damp hair. Comb through roots to ends. Tangle
Tamer can be used on both dry and damp hair to help protect the fibers from environmental
effects.
5) DRY: Once the wig is
clean and conditioned, place it on a soft towel, gently blotting it to remove
the excess water. DO NOT rub, wring, or twist the wig.
Place the wig on a mannequin
head or wig stand and allow the wig to dry completely overnight.
* For best
results with flip styles or when wanting additional volume hang your wig upside
down from the nape and allow the fibers to dry in an upwards direction.
DO NOT USE
HEAT, SUCH AS BLOW DRYERS, CURLING IRONS OR FLAT IRONS ON SYNTHETIC WIGS!
