Give your Wigs, Weaves and Hair Extensions as much love as your Natural hair

Like your natural hair, wigs, weaves and extensions also need tender, love and care. This means washing once a week, leaving conditioner on for at least 20 minutes, then rinsing thoroughly for soft, manageable strands.

If the hair is curly, put a leave-in conditioner in the hair to keep the curls moisturized and detangled. If the hair is straight, use some leave-in spray after washing the hair before styling.

Brush daily, wash weekly

Wigs, weaves and extensions should be brushed every day with a wide tooth comb or Denman brush. A very helpful tip is to spray the hair with a bit of water first and comb/brush from the ends to the roots.

When it comes to cleansing, it is recommended to shampoo and condition once a week. But don’t scrimp and use a dodgy product just because it’s not your natural hair. Make sure to use a moisturizing sulphate-free shampoo so that it doesn’t dry the hair out.

Just like with natural hair, wigs, weaves and extensions will benefit from extra care now and then. Therefore, it is recommended to use a treatment product, such as a Virgin Hair Masque, every two weeks.

The Virgin Hair Masque is great because it's got a lot of great moisturizing natural ingredients and leaves your hair feeling soft, manageable and easy to style.

Shea butter is one of the best natural products. It's light, extremely moisturizing and it works wonders for all ages and hair types.

Never do this…

If there’s one big no-no, it’s washing without combing your wig/weave/ extensions through. If you do then prepare for knotted hair.

Avoid using too much product because you’ll get product build up and the hair won’t style easily.
