Wig Care Guide

Keep your hair looking its best

A little care goes a long way. The right routine depends on whether your wig is synthetic or human hair.

Everyday care

• Gently detangle from the ends upward, working in small sections.
• Keep hair away from unnecessary friction, especially around collars and scarves.
• Store your wig on a stand or in a clean, dry satin bag when not in use.
• Avoid sleeping in your wig whenever possible, particularly long synthetic styles.

Classic Synthetic Hair

Use cool or lukewarm water and products suitable for synthetic wigs. Avoid aggressive brushing, especially when wet. Only use heat if the specific wig is labeled heat-safe; compatible TRUEME Classic styles may tolerate up to approximately 160°C. Do not exceed the product instructions.

Futura Synthetic Hair

Use gentle detangling and wash only as needed. Compatible Futura styles can typically be heat styled at approximately 180–200°C; use the lowest effective setting, test a small section and let the fiber cool completely to set the style. Avoid bleaching or chemical coloring.

Human Hair

Wash gently with a suitable shampoo, condition the mid-lengths and ends, and rinse thoroughly. Blot instead of rubbing with a towel. Use heat protectant before styling and avoid excessive heat. Keep conditioner and oils away from lace knots and adhesive areas.

Lace & cap care

Handle HD and transparent lace gently. Avoid tugging on the lace or combing aggressively near knots. Remove adhesive with an appropriate remover rather than pulling. Let the lace and cap dry completely before storing.

How often should I wash my wig?

There is no one-size-fits-all schedule. Wash when product buildup, odor or wear makes it necessary; frequent washing can shorten the life of both synthetic and human hair wigs.
