Kirby's Wig Care Tips

- Always detangle wigs before washing

- Wash your wigs once a month by diluting shampoo into a bowl of cool water and allow it to soak, DO NOT rub shampoo into your wig then rinse with cool water.

- Apply conditioner to the mid and ends of your wig, avoid getting it on the cap. Leave for 5-10 minutes then rinse with cool water.

- Apply argan oil or serum and allow to air dry, DO NOT brush wig while wet.

- Always use heat protectant and a low heat setting while styling your wig, blow dry your wig using a downward motion to ensure the hair stays smooth.

- Try to use hair oils on your wig before each use.

- Use a wide toothed comb or detangle brush to carefully comb small sections.
