Daily routine
Comb gently from ends, avoid heat above 150 °C, sleep on a silk pillowcase, and never sleep with wet hair.
Weekly wash
Use sulphate-free shampoo, cool water, and conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends only — never the base.
Adhesive removal
Every 3–6 weeks, use citrus-based adhesive remover, clean the scalp with anti-bacterial wash, and let skin breathe for 30 minutes before re-bonding.
Storage between wears
Store on a wig stand in a dry, ventilated place — never in plastic bags.
