Caring for your wig Proper care and the use of specially-formulated Paula Young® wig products will extend the life of your wig. How often you wash your wig depends on how often you wear it. The general rule of thumb is every 6-8 wearings, or about once a week. Follow these easy steps for cleaning and conditioning your synthetic or human hair wig: TO CLEAN YOUR WIG • Gently remove tangles using a wide-tooth comb and turn inside out. (Do not comb curly styles; simply finger-style after washing.) • Soak for 5 minutes in a solution of cold water and a capful of our shampoo. • Swirl gently without rubbing or wringing. • Rinse thoroughly in cool water and turn right side out again. WHILE YOUR WIG IS STILL WET • Do not rub, wring, twist, brush or comb. • Place on wig stand or a tall wig stand for longer wigs. (Avoid using a Styrofoam® styling head when wig is wet, as the cap may stretch). • Spritz thoroughly with our conditioner. • Allow to air dry at room temperature. *Remember, never use a blow dryer to dry a synthetic wig! WHEN DRY Brush, comb, pick or finger-style into your desired look. Never brush a curly synthetic wig; finger-style it or use a pick comb. When brushing a human hair style, start at the ends and gently work your way to the root. Note: 100% human hair styles can be curled, straightened, blown dry - even custom cut. MAKING THE LOOK LAST • Always keep your own hair clean to reduce washing frequency. • Use our specially-formulated wig care products to extend the life of your wig, and make the most of your investment. • Store your wig on a Styrofoam® styling head when not in use. • Keep an extra wig on hand to allow for proper cleaning time.
