Difference better Raw & Virgin Hair
Have more than one wig
It’s advised to have more than one wig in your wigdrobe, for example an everyday wig, a work wig, an outing wig. This gives time to wash and care for each wig in interval;
Wearing one wig consistently without proper care will not last you as long as intended, regardless of quality;
Colour
Colour fades, you will require a touch up/retoning service eventually;
In recolouring pre-coloured hair; going from light to dark is more sustainable on hair, than dark to light;
Blondes/highlighted wigs should be considered as occasional wigs- however if you prefer to wear as an everyday unit- please care for it exceptionally with intervals of another wig;
What Lace?
If you’re torn between a frontal or closure; for low maintenance, everyday wig we recommend a closure;
4x4, 5x5 or 6x6? If you only wear your wig in one parting only a 4x4 could work. If you like to switch partings with ease; a 5x5 works. For deeper partings and more coverage of your hairline; a 6x6 works;
A“glueless” frontal is inadvisable if you’re a newbie to installing a frontal. Get a professional to install;
HD or transparent? HD are thinner and more undetectable- but this makes them less durable in comparison- subject to care. All lace requires tinting/make up blending but getting a transparent lace would require extra manipulation, it’s inadvisable for darker skin if unsure how to blend;

Straight hair care tips
- Be sure to co wash your hair every week cold water, use shampoo every other week (shampoo dries out hair so use it less).
- Leave hair to air dry, use minimal heat as possible to maintain its natural movement.
- It is important to protect your hair from heat, and heat protecting sprays are a great way to do this.
- Always comb with a wide tooth or brush gently to promote longevity of your lace system.
Curly hair care tips

Blonde hair care tips
- Be sure to wash and condition the wig once a week with cold water, use purple shampoo to maintain the ashiness (sparsely) and let sit in conditioner at least 30 minutes to an hour because it has been processed it will get dry.
- Deep condition it every other week. Minimal heat to prevent dryness (always let it air dry) and wrap it in a silk scarf when it’s not your head.
- After every wash, apply a reasonable amount of hair serum whilst the hair is still damp before leaving it to air dry. This will give your hair a lovely healthy shine. Only blow dry when necessary. It is important to protect your hair from heat, and heat protecting sprays are a great way to do this.
- Please note: conditioner and serum are the best forms of moisturiser. Remember not to use excessive amounts of serum as this will weigh the hair down and make it look greasy.
