Wig Care Guide

A simple routine for washing, drying, detangling and storing your MAMAHZXTENSIONS wig. Always check your unit’s product description first: our range includes different hair types, including human-hair blends, Futura fibre and human hair. Care and heat instructions are not interchangeable.

1. Detangle gently

Remove your wig and support the cap without pulling on the lace.
Separate the hair into small sections. Use your fingers first, then a wide-tooth comb where suitable, working from the ends upwards.
Do not force knots or brush roughly through the waves. Use a small amount of detangler labelled suitable for your wig’s material if needed.

2. Wash when needed

Wash when there is product build-up or the unit needs refreshing, rather than after every wear. Detangle first.
Use cool to lukewarm water and a small amount of shampoo specifically suitable for the fibre or hair type shown on the product page.
Gently smooth the cleanser through in the direction of the hair. Do not rub, twist or scrub the lace.
Rinse thoroughly. If using conditioner, follow its instructions and keep it away from the lace knots and cap attachments.

3. Dry without rubbing

Gently press out excess water with a towel. Do not wring or rub.
Let the wig air-dry on a suitable ventilated wig stand, away from radiators and direct heat. Avoid stretching wet lace.
Let it dry fully before storing or using heated styling tools. Avoid tugging or vigorous brushing while wet.

4. Refresh the waves

Once dry, separate and arrange waves gently with your fingers.
Avoid repeated brushing if you want to keep wave definition. Washing or restyling may change the finish; do not assume the original style will return automatically.

5. Use heat only when confirmed suitable

Check the specific product description before using a straightener, curling tool or heated dryer. If heat suitability or a safe setting is unclear, ask us before styling.
For a heat-friendly unit, follow that unit’s stated limit and start at the lowest effective setting. A temperature listed for another wig is not a safe limit for yours.
Use a heat protectant compatible with the hair or fibre and test a small concealed section first. Work on fully dry hair, keep tools away from lace and cap fittings, and minimise repeated passes.
Stop immediately if the fibres become sticky, distort or give off an unusual smell. Heat-friendly does not mean damage-proof.

6. Choose compatible products

Match shampoo, conditioner, detangler and styling products to the material on your product page. Products intended for human hair are not automatically suitable for synthetic fibres or blends.
Start with a small amount. Heavy oils, creams and repeated layers of spray can leave build-up and weigh down waves.
Do not bleach, dye, perm or chemically treat a blend or synthetic unit. Ask us before any chemical treatment if you are unsure of the material.

7. Store carefully

Put away only when completely dry and gently detangled.
Keep on a suitable wig stand or loosely arranged in a clean storage bag, with the lace protected and the hair free from compression.
Store somewhere cool and dry, away from sunlight and direct heat. Remove before sleeping to reduce friction and tangling.

Quick troubleshooting

Tangling at the nape: separate small sections from the ends upwards, using a compatible detangler if needed. Reduce friction from collars and avoid pulling.
Dull, sticky or heavy hair: pause styling products and gently wash out build-up with a compatible cleanser. Rinse thoroughly.
Frizz or less-defined waves: finger-arrange the hair and use less product. Do not increase the heat to force the style back.
Stubborn matting, damaged lace or heat-damaged fibres: stop pulling or heating. Contact us with your order details and clear photos before attempting further treatment.
