When you receive your Ali grace lace closure wig, you will notice how soft, shiny, and healthy the real human hair is. Of course, you would like to keep your wig looking as beautiful as possible for as long as possible. With the proper care and maintenance, you can wear your wig for more than a year still looking as fabulous as day one. Let’s look at some of the top tips for caring for a lace closure wig!
Always Be Gentle
If you usually handle traditional wigs, a lace closure wig may take some getting used to! You need to be gentle with delicate lace and real human hair. When you move, wash, or style them, make sure you are light with your touch. Never grab, scrub, or scratch your lace closure wig or you may tear or damage it.
Choose the Right Products
As you may notice with your own hair, all products do not produce the same results. It is important to select shampoos, conditioners, and any other styling products that suit your hair type. This may be even more crucial for a lace closure wig, as your hair will not naturally moisturize itself with hair oils. Opt for products specifically made for wigs or at worst, choose sulfate-free, gentle products. Try not to use too many sprays or gels as this can truly ruin your wig.
Never Use Heat
As with all lace wigs, it is necessary to avoid heat styling on your human hair wig. Extreme heat will damage the hair, and it is almost impossible to restore smooth and silky hair afterward. Instead, opt for a wig that already has the hairstyle you want, and prepare for minimal styling!
Wash Strategically
You do not need to make washing your lace closure very complicated. All you need to do is swish your lace closure in shampoo water and rinse it gently afterward. Feel free to condition the hair and rinse it well again. You can very carefully detangle the hair while it is in the conditioning stage. However, it is best not to brush it out at this point as it can loosen the knots in the lace.
Keep It Soft
A lightweight, conditioning oil is perfect to keep your real human hair looking silky and smooth. If you take a small amount of coconut oil and run it through your daily, this should do the trick. It may be more important for any lace closure with curls or kinks to do this part. If you opted for a straight or wavy look, you may not have to do this as much - just when you notice the ends are getting a little dry or brittle.
