Our expert stylists at OA Salons understand that everyone’s hair needs are unique, which is why we’ve created wigs that are tailor-made for you.

With gentle care and the right routine, your investment will stay soft, beautiful, and vibrant for a long time. This guide will help you care for your wig with ease, ensuring it continues to look and feel as stunning as the day you bought it home.

Maintenance Tips

Washing and Conditioning: It is recommended to wash your human hair wig or topper every 6 to 10 wears to refresh and remove product build up.

Begin by gently brushing out any tangles with the brush provided at purchase, always handling the hair with care to avoid damage. Wet the hair thoroughly using cool running water—ideally from a bathroom sink.

Apply the recommended shampoo and gently lather, following the direction from roots to ends, never rubbing back and forth, as this causes tangling.

Rinse thoroughly under cool water before applying the recommended conditioner. Spread it evenly through the hair with your fingers or brush, carefully avoiding the base to protect the hand-tied knots. Allow the conditioner to sit for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing it out completely with cool water.

Drying and Styling: After washing, wrap your wig or topper in a towel and gently press to remove excess moisture—avoid wringing or twisting.

Mist the hair with a leave-in detangler, the brush softly to smooth out any remaining tangles. It’s important to dry the internal cap before styling; place the piece on a canvas head and secure it with T-pins.

Use only recommended styling products and blow-dry on medium heat in sections with a round boar bristle brush. Keep heat tools away from the base to prevent loosening knots.

Finish by switching the dryer to the cool setting to lock in style and seal the hair cuticle, enhancing shine and smoothness. When using curling irons or flat irons, never exceed 325°F to maintain hair integrity.

Pro Tips for Longevity

• Always fully dry your wig or topper after washing—air drying can create frizz and a dull finish.
• Use high-quality styling tools with digital temperature control to prevent unnecessary heat damage.
• Never sleep in your wig or topper to avoid tangling and friction.
• Only color or chemically treat your piece under the care of a professional.
• For best results, check in with your stylist regularly for maintenance, styling help, or adjustments.
