How do I look after my wig?
You can purchase all your wig care products from Innovation Stubbington.
We recommend that you wash your wig once a week.
Simple steps for washing your wig….
- Partially fill a bowl with tepid water
- Pour a capful of shampoo into the water, place the wig in the water and ‘swish’ around
- Remove the wig from the bowl and rinse it under a cold running tap
- Run a fresh tepid bowl of water and add a capful of conditioner to it
- Place the wig in the bowl and leave to soak for up to 10 minutes
- Remove the wig from the bowl and rinse it well under a cold running tap again
- Pat dry with a towel then place the wig on poly head stand
- Allow your wig to dry for a couple hours
- Brush the wig when fully dry
Can I use hair straighteners on my wig?
Real hair wigs can only be straightened with hair straighteners that go up to 140°, not GHD’s.
