Aftercare Instructions - Fibre Hair

Day to day care

Day to day instructions on aftercare for your fibre hair wig

Aftercare Information

For the best results and the prolonged life of your purchase, we recommend:

  1. Before/after wearing, spray the fibre hair lightly with a leave in oil based condition such as Soft ‘n’ Sheen, then gently remove any knots and tangles with the fingers.
  2. Scrunched permed models MUST NEVER BE BRUSHED arrange instead using fingers only or a wide tooth Afro Comb. Straight or waves style may be brushed through, using a wig brush
  3. If worn daily wash every 10-14 days otherwise once per month is ok

Washing Instructions


Because fibre hair is non-porous it does not need to be washed as frequently as our own hair. To freshen your wig/hairpiece, following the steps below:

  • Prior to washing, remove all knots and tangles paying particular attention to the nape section. Permed and extra dry models should firstly be sprayed sparingly with a lubricant and worked through
  • Fill a hand bowl with cold/tepid water and a little shampoo and very gently agitate your wig or hairpiece back and forth, in the water
  • Gently rise in clear cold/tepid water. A capful of fabric softener can be added to the water to help condition the fibre.
  • Pay gently on a towel to remove excess water
  • Place on a block to dry naturally
  • When completely dry, spray with the oil based leave in conditioner and style

Important Notes

  • Never use tongs or a hand held dryer on fibre hair.
  • Never wash in hot water (this will straighten the fibre hair)
  • It is quite normal to loose some fibre when following the after case/washing guide.
  • Please note that continual wearing of a fibre wig will result in frizzing at the base, especially the collar length or longer styles.
