FEATHERLITE HEAT-STYLEABLE SYNTHETIC HAIR CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Introducing FeatherLite, our lightest fiber ever. A hollow fiber core results in remarkably lightweight synthetic hair that is lighter than one’s own bio hair. Heat-friendly with superior curl/style retention and easily maintained with HairUWear’s care products. This fiber is exclusive to HairUWear.

Important

• Take special care with lace front wigs and hairpieces. The lace is delicate and should not be tugged or pulled.
• Sudden bursts of heat, such as opening an oven door, may damage heat-friendly synthetic fiber.
• We do not recommend sleeping, showering, or swimming while wearing.
• For longer styles, comb through nape area often using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
• Hair color cannot be used on synthetic fiber.

Pre-wash

Gently remove tangles using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. (Do not use a brush.) Start at the ends and slowly work toward the base to avoid damage. Do not overstretch or pull on the fiber.

Wash

1. Add 1 tbsp of HairUWear CLEANSE to a washbasin of cool water. Caution: Hot water will damage synthetic fiber.
2. Soak wig or hairpiece in washbasin for 3-5 minutes. Do not scrunch or agitate. Caution: Soaking longer than 5 minutes can damage the wig or hairpiece.
3. Rinse under cool running water until the water runs clear. Use a clean, colorfast towel to gently press out excess water. Do not twist or wring.
4. Apply a light mist of HairUWear RESTORE and comb through using a wide-tooth comb starting at the ends. Caution: Do not apply RESTORE directly to hand-tied areas as this may loosen the knots and cause shedding.
5. For wavy/curly styles, be careful not to overstretch or pull on the fiber.
6. The damp wig can then be placed on a wig stand to dry. Hairpieces can be clipped on a hanger to dry, however hand-tied hairpieces should instead dry flat on a colorfast towel to prevent any damage to the delicate construction. Caution: Do not dry wig on a solid form or mannequin head to avoid overstretching the cap.

Styling

• Shake to release fiber. Style with your fingers to achieve the desired look.
• There are a variety of styling brushes and combs specially designed for synthetic wigs and hairpieces.
• FeatherLite fiber can be curled, waved, flat-ironed or blown dry to achieve a different texture. Once heat-styled, the wig or hairpiece will keep the new texture even after washing.
• Use a light mist of HairUWear PROTECT heat-protectant silicone spray prior to heat-styling.
• FeatherLite fiber can withstand a low-medium heat setting up to 350°F/180°C. Caution: Fiber will be damaged if the heat setting is too high. Do not heat-style while wearing as heat-friendly synthetic fiber will get very hot.
• To straighten: take a 1-inch section and run a flat iron from the base to the ends. Allow to cool.
• To curl: wrap a 1-inch section around a curling iron and hold for 10 seconds. Carefully slide the iron out and hold the curl shape with a hairpin or clip until completely cool to set the curl.
• HairUWear offers medium hold, strong hold and heat-styling sprays specially formulated for synthetic fiber.
• For wavy/curly styles, refresh the texture as needed by spritzing with a 50/50 mix of water and RESTORE while finger-styling

Maintenance

• After each wearing, gently comb through the wig or hairpiece using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
• Use HairUWear REFRESH neutralizing spray as needed to extend the time between washings.
• To avoid unwanted kinks or crimps, store on a wig stand (or clip hairpiece on a hanger).
• To maintain wavy/curly textures, style only when the hair is completely dry using only your fingers. Do not comb or brush dry hair as this can loosen the texture.
• After extended wear, matting and frizzing can occur. To detangle and recondition: wash as recommended, spray with HairUWear RESTORE, then comb through with a wide-tooth comb starting at the ends.
