How to Care for Your Wigs: Pretti Xclusive’s Guide

Taking care of your Pretti Xclusive wig ensures it stays flawless, soft, and long-lasting. Follow these easy steps to keep your wigs looking as fabulous as the day you got them!

1. Prepping Your Wig

  • Before Wearing: Gently comb or brush your wig starting at the ends and working your way up to prevent tangling. Use a wide-tooth comb for curly wigs and a paddle brush for straight or body wave wigs.
  • Cap Adjustments: Secure your wig using the adjustable straps and combs for a snug, natural fit.
  • Use Heat Protectant: If styling with heat, always apply a heat protectant to avoid damage.

2. Washing Your Wig

  • Frequency: Wash your wig every 8-10 wears or when you notice product buildup.
  • Steps:
    1. Detangle your wig before washing using a wide-tooth comb or brush.
    2. Fill a basin with cool water and add a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo.
    3. Submerge the wig and gently swish—don’t rub or scrub!
    4. Rinse with cool water until all shampoo is removed.
    5. Apply a wig-friendly conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
    6. Rinse thoroughly with cool water.

3. Drying Your Wig

  • Pat, Don’t Rub: Gently pat your wig with a microfiber towel to remove excess water. Avoid wringing it out.
  • Air Drying: Place the wig on a wig stand to air dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
  • Avoid Blow Dryers: Excessive heat can damage the hair and lace.

4. Styling Your Wig

  • Heat Styling: Use a flat iron, curling wand, or blow dryer on low to medium heat settings. Always apply a heat protectant first.
  • Avoid Heavy Products: Skip heavy oils or gels that can weigh down the wig and cause buildup.
  • Natural Hold: Use lightweight products, like a serum or mousse, to enhance the wig’s natural texture and shine.

5. Storing Your Wig

  • Wig Stand or Box: Store your wig on a stand to maintain its shape or in its original packaging for safe-keeping.
  • Avoid Dust and Moisture: Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or humidity.

6. Extra Tips for Longevity

  • Lace Care: Be gentle with the 13x6 HD Lace to avoid tears. Remove adhesive carefully with an alcohol-based remover.
  • Deep Conditioning: Treat your wig to a deep conditioning treatment every few months to restore moisture and softness.
  • Professional Help: For major restyling or repairs, visit a wig professional to avoid accidental damage.
