WIG FAQ

A hybrid topper that combines skin and lace. Possible pros Realistic silk-like scalp with the comfort and flexibility of lace. Natural movement and flow. Thinner and lower in density than a silk base but slightly thicker than lace. Possible cons Not ideal for those who prefer high density. Some users may find the low-density front trickier to blend and prefer to choose for the one with the closed lace front. Return hairs: Yes. Like the Closed Lace Topper, it includes return hairs (2-3”) which create a more natural and dynamic appearance. Use a flat iron or blow dryer to smooth them down if needed. Ideal for: Those who want the realistic scalp look of silk with the natural movement of lace. Front: The front rim is part of the SL base, similar to a silk topper but less dense. Hairline realism depends on placement and blending. Looks very natural, but may not offer the same seamlessness as a closed lace front.

The most natural-looking scalp. Silk base with a layer of lace underneath. Possible pros Most realistic scalp appearance. Knots are hidden under the silk, making them invisible. Mimics a natural scalp perfectly. Longer-lasting due to the multi-layer construction, the most durable topper construction. Does not have return hairs, allowing it to lay flatter. Possible cons Multi-layered construction makes the base thicker and can restrict how freely the hair moves. Slightly stiffer feel and less dynamic movement. Tends to lay very flat on top. Silk edges can sometimes be thicker. Return hairs: No. The multi-layer construction holds the hair flat against the scalp. Knots and shorter return hairs are sandwiched between layers, so there’s no extra volume caused by return hairs. While ideal for a sleek look, this design may reduce the topper’s ability to mimic natural movement compared to closed lace toppers or SL toppers, where return hairs enhance texture and flow. Ideal for: Those who want the most natural scalp appearance. Front: The front rim is part of the silk base and mimics a natural scalp. Best for styles where the front hairline is covered or blended with natural hair. Hairline realism depends on blending and placement. Silk edges can sometimes be thicker, making the transition slightly more noticeable than with closed lace front.

A hybrid topper that combines skin and lace with a very thin and flat front rim. Possible pros Realistic silk-like scalp with the comfort and flexibility of lace. Natural movement and flow. Thinner and lower in density than a silk base but slightly thicker than lace. The closed lace front. Possible cons Not ideal for those who prefer high density. Return hairs: Yes. Like the Closed Lace Topper, it includes return hairs (2-3”) which create a more natural and dynamic appearance. Use a flat iron or blow dryer to smooth them down if needed. Ideal for: Those who want the realistic scalp look of silk with the natural movement of lace with a very thin and flat front rim. Front A closed lace front: a flat, thin, folded, and sewn front edge designed to lay extremely flat against the scalp. It’s ideal for those who want a smooth, discreet hairline without the bulk of a thick rim. If you’ve ever worn a silk topper and found that the front didn’t lay flat enough, felt bulky, or required too much of your own hair to blend naturally, you’re not alone. A closed lace front solves exactly that. Because of its minimal thickness and flexible construction, it disappears beautifully into the skin and doesn’t create that raised look some silk toppers do. It’s especially perfect if: You have little to no front hair to blend You want a super flat finish at the hairline You’re after more comfort and less volume at the front It’s clean, sleek, and gets the job done, no bulk, no fuss. If you’re tired of fighting with your silk topper in the mirror every morning, this might just be your go-to.

The thinnest and most lightweight option. Lower in density. Single lace layer with individually tied hairs. Possible pros Very natural hair movement and flow. Lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, especially great for warmer climates. Perfect for updos or ponytails. Lays extremely flat. The closed lace front. Possible cons Knots may be slightly visible unless concealed. More delicate and less durable than silk. Return hairs: Yes. Return hairs (2–3” short pieces) are a byproduct of the knotting process. They help enhance texture, movement, and volume. To tame them, use a flat iron or blow dryer. Pull the hair up with a brush, then blow dry the shorter hairs down for a smoother look. Ideal for: Those who prioritize comfort, natural look, flow, lightweight wear with a very thin and flat front rim.

Why choose a low density hairline wig? Natural flow and realistic movement Flat parting - though you can add volume at the root with some extra styling Change the parting anytime Great for both full hair loss and with bio hair underneath Glueless wear - you can also glue or tape the lace front if preferred Wefted back cap? The difference is mainly in how the back of the wig is constructed and how it feels and moves. A wefted back cap is made of strips of hair sewn together, usually by machine. These wefts are layered to form the back of the wig. A handtied back cap, each strand of hair is individually tied to the cap. Result is a wig that’s typically lighter, more flexible, and offers more natural movement, especially when styling. Pros of a Wefted Back Durable & stronger: Wefts can take more tugging and brushing without as much risk of damage. More volume: Great for those who want a fuller look without teasing or styling tricks. Quicker production: That means shorter turnaround times sometimes! Cons of a Wefted Back Heavier feel: Especially with thicker wefts can feel bulkier on the head. Less natural movement: Hair doesn’t move quite as freely, especially when pulled back or parted in certain ways. Can be warmer: Not ideal if you tend to overheat or wear your wig for long hours. If you want maximum comfort, realistic movement, and natural styling, go handtied. If you’re looking for durability, volume, go wefted.

No, I don’t offer full cuts, but I do provide face-framing layers from the chin down if requested. The reason I don’t do full haircuts is because I always recommend having your piece cut while you're wearing it, ideally by a hairdresser. Every face shape, hairline, and forehead is different, so the most natural result comes from tailoring the cut directly on you.

Colors can look very different in photos and videos, so choosing the right shade can be tricky. I do my best to photograph each piece in natural lighting and capture the color as accurately as possible, but please remember: Lighting, screen settings, and angles can all affect how a color appears. Here’s how to get the best color match: Browse the website or Instagram. I have lots of photos and videos that show different shades in natural light. Try to find one that closely matches your own hair. Send photos of your hair. You’re welcome to email me pictures of your hair in natural lighting. Just keep in mind that even good photos can be a little deceiving due to lighting and camera differences, so this method isn’t always perfect. Mail me a hair sample. For the most accurate match, you can send in a physical sample of your hair. I’ll match it as closely as possible. Please note It’s impossible to capture a hair color 100% accurately on camera. Outdoor vs. indoor light, direct sun vs. shade, and screen type (phone vs. computer) can all change how a color looks. Some variation is completely normal and to be expected.

Definitely! A professional haircut will make the wig /topper truly yours. I always recommend having it customized by a professional hairstylist for the best fit and look. Going darker Absolutely! Human hair wigs and toppers can be safely dyed darker. If you have a specific color in mind, it's often best to start with a light brown or dark blonde shade and have your hairdresser color it to match your bio hair. Going lighter Lightening is trickier. If the color is labeled “natural” (like natural dark brown or natural soft black), then yes, you can usually lift it lighter, as it’s virgin, unprocessed hair. However, if the wig or topper is already a lighter color, it’s likely been processed. Bleaching this type of hair can result in greenish, greyish, or uneven tones, so proceed with caution. If you do attempt to lift, always do a strand test first in a hidden spot. Hairdresser tips Test strand, always Wig and topper hair tends to be porous, so it takes color quickly. A test strand helps avoid surprises. Protect the silk or lace top at all costs. Never let color, toner, or pigmented shampoos touch the silk top or lace area. It can stain or even cause bald spots if the knots are damaged. Can any hairdresser do this? Any professional hairdresser should be able to customize a wig or topper. If they’re unsure or inexperienced, it’s best to look for one who works with hair extensions. The hair used in wigs and toppers is processed in a similar way to extension hair, and tones, lifts, and behaves the same when coloring. The techniques and products are virtually identical. That said, it’s very important to stay away from the base of the wig or topper with any dye, toner, or product. The lace or silk areas are delicate, and damage can lead to staining or knot loss, which may cause shedding or bald spots over time. If you're unsure where to go, I’m happy to recommend stylists who are familiar with working on Hair by V pieces.

Every lace top wig, closed lace topper, and SL topper has return hairs. That’s what helps create more natural flow, movement, and volume. If you don’t like return hairs, a silk topper may be a better choice, silk toppers tend to lay flatter and do not have return hairs. Return hairs (also called "short return hairs" or "inverted hairs") are short pieces of hair, usually 2 to 3 inches long, that are a natural byproduct of the knotting or hand-tied weft process. When a single strand of long hair is tied onto the lace or base, it forms a loop, meaning there’s one long side and one short side. That short side is what we call the return hair. They’re not a flaw or damage, return hairs exist in all hand-knotted wigs and toppers and are often more noticeable in high-density pieces or light-colored hair, where contrast and layering make them stand out more. Why do return hairs exist? They are unavoidable in hand-tied or knotted construction. They add texture, movement, and volume near the roots, helping the piece look more natural, especially when styled with lift or wave. They also help secure the knot, which improves durability. Without return hairs, the strand wouldn’t stay tied to the base. Are they visible? Sometimes, especially in: Very straight hairstyles Light blonde colors (due to more contrast) Sleek, flat styles without root volume How to tame return hairs They’re easily managed with a few tricks: Heat styling: Use a flat iron or blow dryer. Lift the hair with a brush, then blow dry the shorter hairs downward for a smoother look. Serum or smoothing cream: A tiny bit of anti-frizz product or leave-in serum helps keep them lying flat. Hair spray (used lightly): Spray a bit on your fingers or a comb, then smooth down return hairs at the part or crown. Important tip Avoid using too much heat directly on the base of the wig or topper, always focus on the hair strands, not the knots, especially with lace materials.

A wig offers full coverage, meaning it covers your entire head and does not require any blending with your natural hair. If you have bio hair, it is typically put into a low ponytail and tucked underneath the wig. Because it offers full coverage, you can choose any color, length, or style, no matter what your natural hair looks like. Can be worn by people with & without bio hair. A topper, on the other hand, provides partial coverage. It’s designed to cover only the top or crown area and is meant to blend with your own hair for a seamless look. It attaches with clips to the top of your head and adds volume exactly where you need it, kind of like a crown coverage extension. Since a topper blends with your natural hair, the color, texture, and length should match your bio hair as closely as possible. Ideally, the topper should be a similar length or a few inches longer - not shorter - to maintain a natural blend. Toppers are a great option for those who still have enough hair for clips to hold onto, and hair in the front to blend. If you wear bangs, blending becomes even easier and more forgiving.

Yes, you can use a hot brush to add volume at the roots, just make sure it's not too hot and always dampen the base slightly beforehand. Never apply heat directly onto the base, as this can damage the material or loosen the knots.

Technically, yes but I don’t recommend it. Sleeping in a wig can reduce its overall lifespan and lead to tangling and dryness over time. For toppers, the clips may cause friction or discomfort on the scalp during the night. If you do choose to sleep in your piece occasionally, try to use a silk or satin pillowcase to minimize friction and protect the hair.

Both lace tops and silk tops offer a natural look, but they differ in feel, appearance, and styling flexibility. Silk tops tend to mimic the look of a real scalp when you're looking directly down at the part. If you're after that ultra-realistic “scalp effect,” silk is a great option. However, silk tops are often a bit denser, have less natural flow and the hair tends to fall forward into the face, which can limit how easily you style it away. Lace tops, from a normal eye-level view, tend to look more natural and seamless. Lace tops are also lighter, less dense and have more movement, which allows for more styling freedom, especially if you like to push the hair back and away from your face. Don’t worry, unless someone is uncomfortably close and inspecting your scalp, you won’t be able to tell it’s lace. In the end, it really comes down to personal preference and how you like your hair to look and move. Make sure to read the comparison page.

Yes, they can be styled just like your natural hair. However, just like with bio hair, heat can cause damage over time, so it’s important to be gentle. Here are a few tips to protect your wig while styling: Keep the heat under 180°C (around 350°F). High heat can damage the hair and loosen the knots over time. Style in small sections. This allows you to apply heat more quickly and evenly, reducing exposure. Use a good heat protectant. It’s a simple step that goes a long way in preserving the quality of the hair. Limit how often you use heat. Wigs/toppers hold curls and waves really well, often for a week or more, so daily styling usually isn’t necessary. Keep in mind: Just like your natural hair, frequent heat styling may cause the color to fade faster.

The difference is mainly in how the back of the wig is constructed and how it feels and moves. A wefted back cap is made of strips of hair sewn together, usually by machine. These wefts are layered to form the back of the wig. A handtied back cap, each strand of hair is individually tied to the cap. Result is a wig that’s typically lighter, more flexible, and offers more natural movement, especially when styling. Pros of a Handtied Back Ultimate comfort: No wefts, no bulk, just soft mesh that moves with your scalp. Ideal for sensitive scalps or full-time wearers. Super realistic movement: Each hair is individually tied, so the hair flows naturally in every direction. Think: "Is it growing out of your scalp?" kind of vibe. More versatile styling: You can wear low ponytails or messy buns without wefts peeking out - huge plus! Lightweight: Less bulk = less weight. Great for hot weather or long wear. Cons of a Handtied Back More delicate: Handtied areas are more fragile and need gentler handling. Not ideal if you're rough on your wigs. Higher price point: It’s a labor-intensive technique = higher craftsmanship = higher cost. Slightly less volume: Since there's no wefting, you might get a flatter look unless the hair is layered well or has added volume elsewhere. Might feel less tight to the back of the head due to the soft fabric. Pros of a Wefted Back Durable & stronger: Wefts can take more tugging and brushing without as much risk of damage. More volume: Great for those who want a fuller look without teasing or styling tricks. Budget-friendly: Generally less expensive than fully handtied wigs - still beautiful, just a different construction. Quicker production: That means shorter turnaround times sometimes! Cons of a Wefted Back Heavier feel: Especially with thicker wefts - can feel bulkier on the head. Less natural movement: Hair doesn’t move quite as freely, especially when pulled back or parted in certain ways. Can be warmer: Not ideal if you tend to overheat or wear your wig for long hours. If you want maximum comfort, realistic movement, and natural styling, go handtied. If you're looking for durability, volume, go wefted.

The lifespan of your wig/topper depends on how well it's cared for and how often it's worn. With proper maintenance, most pieces will last between 1 - 2+ years and in some cases, even longer. Here are a few factors that affect longevity: Daily wear vs. occasional use Heat styling frequency Product buildup and washing habits Color upkeep and sun exposure Whether you sleep/swim/exercise in your piece (not recommended) I usually switch out my own piece once a year. Many of my clients wear their wigs for 2 + years, especially when they’re gentle and consistent with care. If possible, I recommend owning two pieces: As a backup (in case something happens) To alternate between them, which helps extend the life of both Lace top wigs, while ultra-realistic and breathable, are more delicate than silk top wigs because of the way the hair is sewn in and require more gentle care when washing, styling, and wearing. With proper care, they’ll last you a good while, but I usually suggest replacing your lace top every 8–12 months if worn frequently. However, with good care, they can last longer. Keep in mind: if your piece starts to thin, you can always look into professional repair services that can add hair or extend the lace (this is not a service I provide, but it is available through wig specialists).

I always recommend checking out the comparison pages. First you’ll find all the pros, cons, and detailed info to help you choose what fits your needs best.

The number one rule? Take it slow. You can always trim more but you can’t put it back once it’s gone. Clip the hair back. Use clips to keep all the hair away from the lace. This helps prevent accidentally cutting any strands. Use small, sharp scissors. A smaller pair gives you better precision and control. Leave a little lace. Leave about 0,5 cm to 1 cm / ¼ to ½ inch of lace beyond the hairline. Cutting too close can cause the lace to lift or not sit flush against your skin. Start at one ear and work your way around. Slowly trim along the hairline, following its natural shape until you reach the other side. Try it on. Once you’ve trimmed, put the wig on and check the fit. You can always go back and carefully trim more if needed.

Yes, but less is more. Always opt for alcohol- and sulfate-free products to prevent drying out the hair. Avoid spraying hairspray directly onto the base, as it can weaken the knots/attachment and lead to shedding or bald spots.

Yes, they can be styled just like your natural hair. However, just like with bio hair, heat can cause damage over time, so it’s important to be gentle. Here are a few tips to protect your wig while styling: Keep the heat under 180°C (around 350°F). High heat can damage the hair and loosen the knots over time. Style in small sections. This allows you to apply heat more quickly and evenly, reducing exposure. Use a good heat protectant. It’s a simple step that goes a long way in preserving the quality of the hair. Limit how often you use heat. Wigs/toppers hold curls and waves really well, often for a week or more, so daily styling usually isn’t necessary. Keep in mind: Just like your natural hair, frequent heat styling may cause the color to fade faster.

Yes, you can use a hot brush to add volume at the roots, just make sure it's not too hot and always dampen the base slightly beforehand. Never apply heat directly onto the base, as this can damage the material or loosen the knots.

A wig offers full coverage, meaning it covers your entire head and does not require any blending with your natural hair. If you have bio hair, it is typically put into a low ponytail and tucked underneath the wig. Because it offers full coverage, you can choose any color, length, or style, no matter what your natural hair looks like. Can be worn by people with & without bio hair. A topper, on the other hand, provides partial coverage. It’s designed to cover only the top or crown area and is meant to blend with your own hair for a seamless look. It attaches with clips to the top of your head and adds volume exactly where you need it, kind of like a crown coverage extension. Since a topper blends with your natural hair, the color, texture, and length should match your bio hair as closely as possible. Ideally, the topper should be a similar length or a few inches longer - not shorter - to maintain a natural blend. Toppers are a great option for those who still have enough hair for clips to hold onto, and hair in the front to blend. If you wear bangs, blending becomes even easier and more forgiving.

Both lace tops and silk tops offer a natural look, but they differ in feel, appearance, and styling flexibility. Silk tops tend to mimic the look of a real scalp when you're looking directly down at the part. If you're after that ultra-realistic “scalp effect,” silk is a great option. However, silk tops are often a bit denser, have less natural flow and the hair tends to fall forward into the face, which can limit how easily you style it away. Lace tops, from a normal eye-level view, tend to look more natural and seamless. Lace tops are also lighter, less dense and have more movement, which allows for more styling freedom, especially if you like to push the hair back and away from your face. Don’t worry, unless someone is uncomfortably close and inspecting your scalp, you won’t be able to tell it’s lace. In the end, it really comes down to personal preference and how you like your hair to look and move. Make sure to read the comparison page.

Colors can look very different in photos and videos, so choosing the right shade can be tricky. I do my best to photograph each piece in natural lighting and capture the color as accurately as possible, but please remember: Lighting, screen settings, and angles can all affect how a color appears. Here’s how to get the best color match: Browse the website or Instagram. I have lots of photos and videos that show different shades in natural light. Try to find one that closely matches your own hair. Send photos of your hair. You’re welcome to email me pictures of your hair in natural lighting. Just keep in mind that even good photos can be a little deceiving due to lighting and camera differences, so this method isn’t always perfect. Mail me a hair sample. For the most accurate match, you can send in a physical sample of your hair. I’ll match it as closely as possible. Please note It’s impossible to capture a hair color 100% accurately on camera. Outdoor vs. indoor light, direct sun vs. shade, and screen type (phone vs. computer) can all change how a color looks. Some variation is completely normal and to be expected.

Technically, yes but I don’t recommend it. Sleeping in a wig can reduce its overall lifespan and lead to tangling and dryness over time. For toppers, the clips may cause friction or discomfort on the scalp during the night. If you do choose to sleep in your piece occasionally, try to use a silk or satin pillowcase to minimize friction and protect the hair.

When choosing a hair topper, the size of your head isn’t what matters most, it’s the area you want to cover. Measure from front to back and side to side to determine how much coverage you need. Most Hair by V toppers come in 8x8, or 9x9 inch bases. Other sizes (like 7x7 or 10x10 inches) are available upon request. The larger the base, the more coverage you get. The smaller the base, the higher the clips will sit on your head. Smaller caps mean the clips are placed closer to the crown, which is often where hair is most fragile. It’s very important not to place clips directly on thin or sensitive areas, as this can cause discomfort, tension, and even lead to bald spots over time. That’s why all Hair by V toppers are designed with: A large front comb (instead of clips) Clips placed around the sides and back for secure but gentle hold Personally, I’m not a fan of clips in the front, because that’s exactly where most women have the least hair. The large front comb is meant to be gently slid into the hair - not just placed on top. And don’t worry: you don’t need a lot of hair for it to stay put. That comb, together with the surrounding clips, keeps the topper secure and comfy all day long. Comfort tip: The bigger the base, the more evenly the pressure is distributed, and the more comfortable it feels. Always close the clips gently - never too tight - to avoid tension or pulling. Style tip Want to wear a ponytail? The smaller the base, the higher you can position the ponytail.

Yes, but less is more. Always opt for alcohol- and sulfate-free products to prevent drying out the hair. Avoid spraying hairspray directly onto the base, as it can weaken the knots/attachment and lead to shedding or bald spots.

Definitely! A professional haircut will make the wig /topper truly yours. I always recommend having it customized by a professional hairstylist for the best fit and look. Going darker Absolutely! Human hair wigs and toppers can be safely dyed darker. If you have a specific color in mind, it's often best to start with a light brown or dark blonde shade and have your hairdresser color it to match your bio hair. Going lighter Lightening is trickier. If the color is labeled “natural” (like natural dark brown or natural soft black), then yes, you can usually lift it lighter, as it’s virgin, unprocessed hair. However, if the wig or topper is already a lighter color, it’s likely been processed. Bleaching this type of hair can result in greenish, greyish, or uneven tones, so proceed with caution. If you do attempt to lift, always do a strand test first in a hidden spot. Hairdresser tips Test strand, always Wig and topper hair tends to be porous, so it takes color quickly. A test strand helps avoid surprises. Protect the silk or lace top at all costs. Never let color, toner, or pigmented shampoos touch the silk top or lace area. It can stain or even cause bald spots if the knots are damaged. Can any hairdresser do this? Any professional hairdresser should be able to customize a wig or topper. If they’re unsure or inexperienced, it’s best to look for one who works with hair extensions. The hair used in wigs and toppers is processed in a similar way to extension hair, and tones, lifts, and behaves the same when coloring. The techniques and products are virtually identical. That said, it’s very important to stay away from the base of the wig or topper with any dye, toner, or product. The lace or silk areas are delicate, and damage can lead to staining or knot loss, which may cause shedding or bald spots over time.

No, I don’t offer full cuts, but I do provide face-framing layers from the chin down if requested. The reason I don’t do full haircuts is because I always recommend having your piece cut while you're wearing it, ideally by a hairdresser. Every face shape, hairline, and forehead is different, so the most natural result comes from tailoring the cut directly on you.

Every lace top wig, closed lace topper, and SL topper has return hairs. That’s what helps create more natural flow, movement, and volume. If you don’t like return hairs, a silk topper may be a better choice, silk toppers tend to lay flatter and do not have return hairs. Return hairs (also called "short return hairs" or "inverted hairs") are short pieces of hair, usually 2 to 3 inches long, that are a natural byproduct of the knotting or hand-tied weft process. When a single strand of long hair is tied onto the lace or base, it forms a loop, meaning there’s one long side and one short side. That short side is what we call the return hair. They’re not a flaw or damage, return hairs exist in all hand-knotted wigs and toppers and are often more noticeable in high-density pieces or light-colored hair, where contrast and layering make them stand out more. Why do return hairs exist? They are unavoidable in hand-tied or knotted construction. They add texture, movement, and volume near the roots, helping the piece look more natural, especially when styled with lift or wave. They also help secure the knot, which improves durability. Without return hairs, the strand wouldn’t stay tied to the base. Are they visible? Sometimes, especially in: Very straight hairstyles Light blonde colors (due to more contrast) Sleek, flat styles without root volume How to tame return hairs They’re easily managed with a few tricks: Heat styling: Use a flat iron or blow dryer. Lift the hair with a brush, then blow dry the shorter hairs downward for a smoother look. Serum or smoothing cream: A tiny bit of anti-frizz product or leave-in serum helps keep them lying flat. Hair spray (used lightly): Spray a bit on your fingers or a comb, then smooth down return hairs at the part or crown. Important tip Avoid using too much heat directly on the base of the wig or topper, always focus on the hair strands, not the knots, especially with lace materials.

Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush to gently detangle the hair, starting from the ends and working up to the roots. Avoid pulling/tension on the lace or silk base.

Don’t wash too often - every 4 to 6 weeks is usually enough. The less you wash it, the longer the longevity of your wig/topper. Don’t soak - This will loosen knots and create tangling. Use the right products - Sulfate-free and lightweight formulas are best. The more heat you use, the faster color will fade. Use heat protectant and limit frequency. Stay away from too many and the wrong products, especially on the base. Make sure your mannequin head is not bigger than your wig/topper, this will stretch it. Less is more! Don't overload on conditioner, sprays, and oils. Buildup of products is what can really cause a hair piece to feel like it needs to retire. In the winter, especially with longer pieces and wigs, the hair may tangle by the nape due to static, scarves and sweaters. I suggest buying a leave in conditioner spray to use before brushing when tangly.

Apply/dab a small amount of sulfate-free shampoo to your hands and gently smooth it onto the hair. Do not scrub. Avoid rubbing, scrubbing, or applying shampoo directly to the lace or silk base. Avoid massaging the top of the wig/topper where the knots are tied. Gently apply the shampoo through the strands with downward strokes.

Pat excess water with a towel - do not rub. Avoid rubbing the lace top area; leave it out when hugging dry with the towel. Place the wig/topper on a wig stand or lay it flat on a towel to air dry. At this moment, I spray some Color Wow Dream Coat from a distance and never too much. If brushing/combing is needed, do it very gently, not directly pulling at the base, avoiding excessive tension on the lace/silk. If you like to blow-dry (I never do), avoid flipping the wig/topper inside out or using high heat, which can cause hair inversion. Air drying creates the best results and makes the hair so much softer. You will notice that the topper can become fluffy and slightly textured / wavy after it has dried, that is perfectly normal. After styling it will be back to how it was at purchase. If you want to change the part line of your wig/topper, do it when the hair is almost dry (damp but not soaking wet). This allows reshaping without stressing the knots. Use a rats tail comb to move the hair to the desired side. Air or blow dry to set the part line in its new position.

Use the right sulfate-free products and never too much. I prefer to use Color Wow shampoo, conditioner, and anti-frizz Dream Coat. Gather a wide-tooth comb, wig brush, sulfate-free shampoo & conditioner, and a towel. Get a wig stand to put it on after washing.

Rinse well! Let the water run from top to bottom to carry away the shampoo. Rinse under running water, keeping the wig/topper in the same natural direction. Do not wring or twist the base & hair.

If there's makeup on the front lace, gently remove it with micellar water. Always dab - never rub - to avoid damaging the lace or loosening the knots.

Apply a small amount of conditioner mid-length to ends only, never on the base, to prevent loosening knots (which causes bald spots). Use your fingers to distribute the conditioner gently. Rinse well & thoroughly under running water. Wash your hands after applying conditioner before putting your hand back inside the cap. This prevents conditioner from transferring to the base.

Avoid strong water pressure that can push hair back through the lace in case of lace top constructions (lace top wigs, closed lace toppers). Hold the wig/topper under lukewarm running water (never hot!), allowing the water to flow in the natural direction of the hair (from roots to ends). Too hot water weakens the knots. How to Hold the Wig/Topper: Put your hand inside the cap and support it with your other hand to prevent the weight from causing tension on the lace. Do not soak or immerse the wig/topper to prevent hair inversion, tangling, and loosening knots. Soaking can loosen knots on a lace & silk base. Shampoo & conditioner can contain oils/silicones that make the knots slippery. Let the water pass through gently. The inside of the cap will be washed by the water & shampoo running through.

Use heat protection before styling it with any curler or straightener. It can safely be trimmed, curled, straightened. I recommend a maximum temperature setting of approx. 180°c to avoid damaging the hair. Once dry, use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush to gently detangle, starting from the ends. Style as desired, avoiding excessive tension on the lace/silk.
