Step 1: detangle hair

Always start at the ends of the hair and work your way towards the roots (lace wig cap).Human hair is weakest when wet, so detangling when dry means you’re less likely to strain the strands of hair and ruin the curly texture  – if you over stretch the hair, the curly texture won’t return.While the hair is still dry, use a wide tooth comb and start combing at the ends of the hair, working towards the lace wig cap.Gently tease out any knots without pulling at the hair.

Stage 2: co-wash hair

The term co-washing is basically a shortened version of “conditioner-only washing”. Mix your shampoo with some warm water in a spray bottle and spray the hair until it’s saturated. If you don’t have a spray bottle then use an empty water bottle (500ml) as you don’t want the curly lace wig to be dripping heavily at this point.Using a wide tooth comb, start combing from the ends of the hair and move towards the top (wig cap) in order to distribute the shampoo and water.The idea is that you  don’t rub or massage the hair as this can cause it to tangle

Stage 3: rinse hair

Rinse the hair by pouring lukewarm water over the hair (using the shower, tap or bottle). Take hold of all of the hair and gently squeeze starting at the top (near the wig cap) and working your way down to the ends.After the final rinse, whilst the hair is still dripping, use a wide tooth comb and comb the hair starting at the ends and working up to the top (wig cap).This does two things:

    • Removes any tangles
    • Ensure that each of the small sections of hair that make up the individual locks of curls can reform

Stage 4: dry hair

If you use hair serum or hair oil, apply it at this stage as this will seal the moisture into the hair and use your wide tooth comb to distribute the serum or oil.Always dry curly hair wigs by letting them hang, whether on a stand or hanging from the shower head, and never let them dry flat, otherwise the curls will be distorted.When the hair is damp, you can lightly mist it with spray moisturizer or a glycerine and water mix but don’t comb the hair
