In this blog post, we will cover cleaning and care tips, storage advice, and product recommendations to ensure your wigs and extensions stay in top-notch condition.
Cleaning and Care Tips
1. Gentle Washing: Regular washing is crucial to maintain the shine and softness of your Manes by Micah wigs and MBM Raw Hair Extensions. Here's how to do it properly:
- Detangle First: Before washing, gently detangle your wig or extensions using a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush designed for synthetic or human hair.
- Use Lukewarm Water: Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of sulfate-free shampoo.
- Soak and Swish: Submerge the wig or extensions in the water and gently swish them around. Avoid rubbing or twisting the hair.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse with lukewarm water until all the shampoo is gone.
- Conditioning: Apply a sulfate-free conditioner, focusing on the ends. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
- Pat Dry: Gently pat the hair dry with a soft towel. Do not wring or twist.
2. Deep Conditioning: Deep conditioning is vital to keep your hair hydrated and manageable. Use a deep conditioner or hair mask once every two weeks. Apply the product generously, focusing on the ends, and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing.
3. Air Drying: Avoid using heat to dry your wigs and extensions. Instead, place them on a wig stand or lay them flat on a clean towel to air dry. This helps to maintain the natural texture and prevent damage.
Storage Advice
1. Wig Stands: When not in use, store your wigs on wig stands to maintain their shape and prevent tangling. Ensure the stand is in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
2. Satin or Silk Bags: For MBM Raw Hair Extensions, use satin or silk bags to store them. These materials reduce friction and prevent frizz and tangling.
3. Avoid Humidity: Keep your wigs and extensions away from humid environments. Humidity can cause the hair to become frizzy and lose its style.
Product Recommendations
1. Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner: Opt for high-quality, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Sulfates can strip the hair of natural oils and cause dryness. We recommend brands like SheaMoisture and OGX for their gentle yet effective formulations.
2. Wide-Tooth Comb or Wig Brush: Invest in a good wide-tooth comb or a wig brush specifically designed for wigs and extensions. These tools minimize breakage and tangling.
3. Leave-In Conditioner: A leave-in conditioner is a must-have for keeping your hair hydrated throughout the day. Look for lightweight formulas that won't weigh down the hair, such as the It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product.
4. Heat Protectant Spray: If you need to style your wigs or extensions with heat tools, always use a heat protectant spray to shield the hair from damage. We recommend the TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray.
5. Wig Cap: Wearing a wig cap underneath your wig helps to secure it in place and protect your natural hair. It also adds a layer of comfort and prevents friction.
