What’s more, you can breeze through 5 top tips right here, right now.
1. Always wash your Afro hair wig on a mannequin head (a polystyrene/Styrofoam head is fine). This gives you complete control over the procedure instead of having to guess if you’re washing it right.
2. Use a shampoo for dry/damaged hair (make sure it’s for coloured hair if you’re wig is coloured in any way — if you’re not sure if it is, use one just in case).
3. Never brush the hair when wet, do this only when dry and ideally don’t use a brush but a wide tooth comb (unless you are trying to create a puff look. You can use a large tooth comb when it’s dry but don’t comb it more than twice in a day — excessive combing causes shedding and frizzing of your Afro wig.
4. Never use products with mineral oils on your Afro kinky wig.
A water-based moisturizer that can be sprayed is best. Or better still make up your own by mixing ten parts water and one part glycerine — an ingredient that draws water into your hair to keep the moisture balance.
5. Don’t straighten the hair more than once per month as this can distort the curly texture of the hair — (ideally, don’t straighten it at all) overusing heat styling tools can distort or damage the texture as the hair has usually been processed for texture. It’s human hair and will break with excessive heat. Use a low heat setting with the straighter and don’t use a blow dryer.
