Wig Cleaning Tips for increasing Longevity of the Lace Front Wig
1.Combine the shampoo through your hair in a top-to-bottom motion using gentle downward strokes. Don't scrub the wig as you would scrub your natural hair. Don't use a bristle brush, or you might pull out or break the hair.2.Apply some of the shampoo water inside the wig cap and tap it gently to wash it. (Don't scrub)
3.Rinse the wig under cool to lukewarm running water until there's no shampoo or suds left. Position the wig so that the water flows downwards from the cap to the tip of the hair.
4.Blot the hair gently with a towel to remove excess water.
