Hi guys, I want to give you a little tutorial on how to wash and shampoo clean whatever you want to call it your synthetic wig, I'm in my bathroom upstairs and I've got to let you in a little secret. This is mine and mine alone, and I love it anyway. We feel like a little bit: mister cold water, always cold. Remember heat is really the only enemy. These little synthetic wigs have now that I puts enough water to cover the wig. I'M going to take the genre, know shampoo and it's got a little click on the top and I just shake it and I put in maybe a quarter looking dollop, you don't really need more than that. If your hair is really really long, maybe a little more intimately into shampoo and push it around - oh, I hope just to mix the shampoo love with the water taste it little sexy, not long. Now you take your wig and you just press it down and twirl. It around don't scrub it or do anything you don't really want to tangle it. The shampoo does the work for you love. Now I can see how I'm kind of coming to ground already you can see. I'M sorry. This was from a very dirty wigs. You can already see that the water is getting dirty. Okay. Now what I would do if I worked on the video with you today, I would walk away and I would leave this - maybe for 10-15 minutes just soaking, then I come back in. Let'S go like 10-15 minutes over and I come back yet I swish it a little bit and you'll notice. Even the water gets dirtier, then you're going to pick it up and you're going to Jen. We squeeze out the excess. Now you have the dirty water in the shampoo in the basin, I'm going to drain the basin, get rid of all of that now. There are two ways to go to rinse the shampoo out of your wig and a lot of times. Girls will call me, and they said Lola I've washed, my wig and it's all gumming. It just feels awful. That'S because you didn't get all of the shampoo out. The rinsing is very important. There are two ways I rinse, if you don't have very good water power, which I don't hear i go to the tub. I turn the tub on the cold water. I put my hand under the cap of the wig and I just hold it under the tub water and rinse. It really really good today for showing you I'm going to make it in the basin. So I turn the water on really really forcefully and you just left the water running through the wigs and get rid of all the shampoo. I turn it inside out and I don't I just squeeze. I never rough just squeeze mainly to keep going see how I'm rinsing it love. Now. I think I've gotten all the shampoo out now I'm going to take a little towel, one, it's bigger than this is even better and you're just going to squeeze the wig. If it's a long way, of course, you lay it on the towel and kind of roll it, I'm just squeezing the excess water out. Okay, can you see all right now? I'Ve got the water excess water out, it's not dripping dripping water and we've got the wig, and now it's clean. It even smells clean. So that's another test. You can use now here's what I'm going to do, I'm going to hold the wig upside down and I'm going to let the hair just kind of drift down. If it's long hair. You know it's going to be like that. If it's this little short wig, it's going to be like that, and then you take your conditioner now the dish conditioner is very important. A lot of people say why do I need the conditioner? The conditioner is the final crowning glory on the wig. This is what keeps it from frizzing. It keeps it the integrity of the style better. It just makes it all over better to put the conditioner on big big secret on synthetic hair with synthetic conditioner we never ever rinse it out and I'm going to go into the base. Remember I told you so many times the base of the wig is where the the girl pattern starts. The silhouette starts. Everything starts at the base, so when you hold it up about nine or ten spritz, maybe a little more, if it's long hair to get it down here, then I kind of just squeeze it like that gently to get the conditioner all over. The next thing is, if it is a smooth wig now, I've got the top of the wig on top of my left hand, if it's a smoother wig, I'm going to go like that, lay it on a towel and let it dry if it is a curling Wig are a witness, a little spiky and has a lot of little things going on. I turn it inside out why to keep those fibers going and and even instill the integrity of the style more and then I take it out like this put it on the towel and let it dry, if you put it outside in the Sun it'll dry in About 20 minutes and never worry, the Sun will never fade these wonderful colors, they don't turn on you and they don't fade, and if it is a straight style and you put it out in its long, you lay it like that outside probably 30 minutes and inside Probably overnight I've washed, my hair is late, it's 11 o'clock at night and I get up in the morning and it's ready in my little bathroom. You have a great day. I hope this helped bye.
