WIG CARE

All NeatandSleek braided/ locs/ twist units are handmade base on full lace / lace front/ headband wigs. ( These wigs are made with human hair, which gives them a very natural look with the illusion of hair coming out of the scalp. Besides, the hairline is pre-plucked and knots are fully bleached already. ) Like other hair products, these wigs also require a bit of tender loving care/maintenance to help them last longer. Here are some trusted Hacks on braided wig maintenance which may help you:

Daily Hacks of your neatandsleek wigs

1. Let your wig have a rest, don't wear it every day.

2. Apply moose to your wig so that fly or stray hair can stay in place, but avoid using excessive amounts of mousse as this will make your units look too greasy.

3. Apply oil (coconut oil or wig oil) to make it shine, you may also use oil sheen instead of coconut oil.

4. Don't sleep with your wig, remove it before going to bed.

5. Styling? Yes,for braided unit our stylists recommend curling with flexi rods and dipping into boiling hot water, leave to dry and then remove the flexi rods. You instantly have a new look with your braided unit! But once in a while.

6. Coloring? No, The strands are made using synthetic Kane Kalon fibre which cannot be coloured. The human hair wig base however can be coloured but it is not advised to try to colour it as this will weaken the roots of the hair and this can cause the strands to start to fall out. We have bleached the knots, so do not bleach it again.

General wigs maintenance

We believe it is essential that you wash your unit before it smells badly. The time frame can't be stated because we all use wigs differently.

Anytime you wash it, focus on the cap area because that’s always the part that accumulates a lot dirt, simply dip the unit in a shampoo solution multiple times while also straightening it all the while after dipping, just wash it a little, do not wash your wigs like clothes. Conditioner are only necessary for the real hair, braids/locs/twists are made of synthetic material except for the base wig it is made of human hair. So, do not waste your conditioner, just use it on the roots area.

For that perfect finish, we suggest that an adequate amount of mousse is added onto your units before drying it in order to give your hair life and add that brand new shine, a healthy feel and look.

Airing your units after taking it off is important, we recommend getting wigs stands to help with proper ventilation of the unit when it snot being worn. The unit should also be kept in a space where the strands can fall freely to avoid bent or straggly ends. Your wigs will look better for longer if you can look after it. Your hair is an investment so invest time in looking after it.
