Hair Care
Pre-Wash
-Gently remove tangles with fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
-Start at the ends and slowly work toward the roots to avoid damage. Do not brush. -Wash Do not soak or submerge product. Rinse by holding the hair under running cool water.
-Allow the water to run from roots to ends. Place a small amount of shampoo in your hand, evenly and gently stroke it through the hair in a downwards motion from the roots to the ends.
-Rinse by holding under running cool water until the water runs clear. Gently squeeze to press out excess water. Do not twist or wring.
Condition
Place a small amount of conditioner hair in your hand, evenly and gently work it through the hair in a downwards motion from the mid-shaft down to the ends avoiding the base and root.
- Applying conditioner to the base may cause shedding. Leave conditioner on for 1-2 minutes or follow the conditioner manufacturer’s instructions. Do not exceed 3-5 minutes.
-Rinse by holding under running cool water until the water runs clear. Gently squeeze or use a clean, dry towel to press out excess water. Do not twist or wring. Place wet wig on a wig stand until it is completely dry.
-Finger styling is recommended or anything that is low manipulation
- Curly hair has the tendency to tangle at the ends or nape. This is where the most friction happens. This is completely normal for curly hair. Curly textures will also shed more than a straight unit. This is due to the nature of the texture and you should not be alarmed. We recommend finger detangling or light detangling with a wife tooth come when the hair is damp and has conditioner on it. Also be sure to add a light moisturizing product to the hair so it can maintain its moisture until its dry and needs moisture again.
Styling
Style as desired:
-To straighten, take a 1 inch section starting at the roots and run a flat iron to the ends.
-To curl, wrap the hair around a curling iron and hold for 10 seconds and release. If desired use hair spray on the final styled product.
*NOTE- I highly recommend staying away from heat if possible. Heat weakens hair over time especially if heat it used at high temps. Also, I strongly advise against using heat on curly textures. This can completely ruin the curl pattern and weaken the hair*

613 Hair OR Bleached Hair is very fragile and ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.
- ) REFRAIN from using excessive heat. This will further damage your hair. Please go for styles that require less heat and low manipulation. Heat can ruin color and cause it to change *NOTE : Sun exposure naturally lightens hair. please be aware of your unit and weather.
- ) USE HAIR TREATMENTS
- Use Sulfate Free shampoo & Conditioner!! Sulfates strip hair of its moisture.
- The hair constantly needs to be treated. Using treatments frequently will allow the hair to maintain its texture
- Turn down water temperature when washing hair. Warm water or cool water allows your product to penetrate easier and prevent color from fading
