Taking care of your hair system – tips straight from the experts

Hair replacement systems provide the go-to solution for those looking to sport thicker, natural-looking hair in the face of hair loss and thinning, without the risks of surgery or the hefty price tag.

Maintaining a healthy, authentic appearance comes down to more than choosing a high-quality hairpiece and a strong adhesive, however.

Your hair system needs daily maintenance to stay in tip-top condition and prevent the matting, tangling, and shedding that often goes hand-in-hand with a neglected hairpiece.

Looking after your hair system properly will also help to extend your wig’s lifespan, leaving you to enjoy your hairpiece for so much longer.

Read on to discover the golden rules of taking care of your hair system.

Brush your hair system daily

Contrary to popular belief, daily brushing doesn’t damage your hairpiece. The trick is to do it gently with a large wide-toothed comb or a soft boar bristle brush. Brushing daily provides a simple way to keep your hair system tangle-free.

It’s best to brush your hair system when it’s slightly damp or dry, just be sure not to brush or comb harshly if you do encounter a knot or lug. To avoid additional tension on your system, brush your hair from the roots upwards.

Sleep soundly in your system

Unlike full wig wearers, those donning a hair system can and should sleep in their hairpiece. Reattaching your system every morning is after all a lengthy job that most don’t have time for. Continuous reattachment can also damage the quality and shorten the lifespan of your system.

That being said, you should never sleep in a wet hair system, this increases the likelihood of matting. Always dry your hair thoroughly before sleeping in your wig.

Spritz wavy or curly system styles

If your hair system sports a wavy or curly style, you’ll want to maintain this trendy look, and doing so is easier than you think.

Simply spritz the hair with a mixture of water and protein leave-in conditioner each morning and leave to dry naturally.

Avoid using mousses and styling gels to achieve that signature look as these cause matting and product build-up.

Add some shine

If your hair system is getting drier and brittle over time, adding moisture is a way to restore its healthy, natural look.

You don’t have to spend a fortune on expensive hair products, but a good leave-in conditioner or our UV moisture shine spray is perfect for adding shine, moisture and restoring the hair.
