BEAUTY FAQ

Curious how to style your brand new Integrity Wigs custom piece?! Well, read on for all the best tips and tricks for extending the lifetime of your beauty! 

HEAT-STYLING VS. AIR DRYING IS RECOMMENDED
Yup, you heard that right! Heat-styling smooths the cuticle making it look and feel softer. If you plan on taking your human hair wig or hairpiece to a stylist to color, be sure to remind them it must be washed first. The coating will affect how color absorbs and should always be washed prior to chemically treating. 

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I WASH MY HUMAN HAIR WIG?

• We recommend washing and conditioning every 6-8 wears. It’s good to apply a deep conditioner every other wash since human hair needs added moisture. Remember to only apply a conditioner from the mid-shaft to ends. Always avoid applying conditioner to the base or cap as this can affect the integrity and cause shedding.
• Just as you would for natural hair, use products made for color treated human hair and follow manufacturer instructions when using a deep conditioner or treatment.
• It is recommended to use hair oils and/or serums on the ends and spray a heat protectant all over before blow drying and heat-styling. 
• Place wet wig on a wig stand until it is completely dry. 

 
STYLING YOUR HUMAN HAIR WIG

• To straighten, take a 1-inch section starting at the roots and run a flat iron to the ends.
• To curl, wrap the hair around a curling iron and hold for no more than 10 seconds and release.
• If desired use hair spray and/or additional product to style.

 
STORING YOUR HUMAN HAIR WIG
Now that you’ve styled your wig, you can store it and preserve your work. If you’re storing a styled wig and you want to keep it pristine, use a wig-form (faux head) or folding stand – breathable material is suggested. These options all keep the wig upright and undisturbed. 

When blow drying or altering human hair, it’s best to use a Styrofoam or canvas head to secure – you may pin the wig or base and keep it secure while you work. 
For air drying, you can create the part and smooth the top, then let it dry lying flat on a towel or on a folding wig stand that allows air to circulate. 
 
TRAVELING
If you’re traveling, we suggest a satin bag, or the hair net your wig comes with and just plan on touching it up before you wear it. 

BASIC TIPS & TRICKS

• Wash or rinse all human hair products and style before wearing. Human hair is not ready to wear out of the box.
• Do not use hot water. It will damage the cap and can cause the hair to become dry over time.
• Do not dry on a solid form or mannequin head to avoid stretching the cap – breathable material is key!
• We do not recommend sleeping, showering, or swimming while wearing the wig.
• Store the wig on a wig stand to avoid unwanted kinks or crimps.
• Our lace caps are delicate and should not be tugged or pulled.
• Avoid brushing the hair when wet to prevent damage.
• Any cutting or chemical processes, such as perming or coloring, should be done by a professional hair stylist.
