Putting your Wig on
Braid or tuck your hair and pin it up away from front, sides and nape of your head. If you choose to wear a wig cap liner, it will help to keep your hair in place.
Hold cap at the front of your forehead, place the wig on your head and position at hairline. Pull cap back down around your head and make final adjustments.
For a customized comfort fit, use the adjustable hook tabs at the back of your wig.
Tuck in any stray hairs around the edges, underneath the cap. Style as desired.

Washing Your Wig
*I recommend washing your human hair wig or hairpieces every 6 - 8 wears, over time you will learn to follow your instinct when it is best to wash and maintain your wig.
Before washing your human hair wig or hairpiece, gently remove any tangles using a paddle brush or wide tooth comb without tugging on the hair.
Hold wig or hairpiece under cool to luke warm running water so hair is traveling in the same direction. Apply a small amount of shampoo designed for human hair and gently lather the hair with shampoo while making sure the hair continues to travel in the same direction. You do not want to rub the hair, particularly in the wrong direction, as this will cause tangles.
Rinse thoroughly with cool water until it runs clear.
Apply conditioner only on hair, avoiding the base cap of wig or hairpiece. (applying conditioner on base may weaken knots).
With fingers, work conditioner through the ends of the hair for about 3 - 5 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly in cold to luke warm water until the water runs clear.
Drying & Styling
You’ve got this.Wrap wig or hairpiece in a towel and gently pat to remove excess water.
DO NOT use a brush to detangle your human hair wig while it is wet, gently use a wide tooth comb.
Let the hair completely dry, this will protect and ensure the longevity of the wig. However, you can use a digital setting hair dryer at lower temperature settings of not more than 350 degrees.
Apply a small amount of Leave In Conditioner or Treatment Mist to the hair only (not the lace or cap), let it dry and style as you wish.
Store your wig on a wig stand or form that is smaller than the base of the cap to prevent the cap from stretching.
Direct sunlight will fade the hair so avoid storing your wig where it will be exposed to light.
Do not wear your hairpiece while sleeping. It may result in hair loss, breakage and matting. If you do, a silk/satin bonnet or pillow case is required.
Lighter hair colors are more delicate than darker colors because additional processing is needed to achieve the light colors.
Over time, your wig will lose hair. This is a natural part of the life cycle of your wig.
Avoid contact with chlorinated water, sea water and hot water to avoid damage to your wig.
Natural Hair Care Guide
Understanding Your Hair Type
Hey, beautiful! Congratulations on choosing a natural hair journey! This is a journey of embracing everything unique about you, not just your natural texture. It’s one of self acceptance and empowerment. Loving the hair that grows from your scalp is the first step, taking care of that hair is the next and we’re here to help guide you as you take it.
Know Your Hair
Understanding your hair type is key to giving it the love it deserves. Your hair has a love language and you’d need to know its type to speak that language. Ready? let’s get learning.
Curly Queen (3a-3c)?
Wavy Wanderer(2a-2c)?
Coily Cutie(4a-4c)?
Curly Queen;
3a- Your curls are very loose and bouncy, they have a very relaxed ‘S’ shape and stretch easily due to high elasticity. Be mindful in humid environments, your hair is prone to frizz.
3b- Your curls are tighter than 3a hair and have a more defined ‘S’ shape. They are springy and fuller, with more volume than 3a hair. Your hair has lesser elasticity and can be prone to breakage if not handled gently. Be sure to moisturize regularly to keep dryness away.
3c- You curls are the most defined of the three, the ‘S’ shape is more pronounced, with lots of volume and thickness than the others. They also have a lower amount of elasticity than both 3a and 3b. Like 3b, your hair is prone to dryness and breakage and would need regular moisturizing as well.
Wavy Wanderer;
2a- Your waves are loose and relaxed with very little volume. Your waves have a lot of shine and can get oily quickly, also, avoid using too many products as this can overwhelm your hair. Your waves straighten easily for a quick style switch.
2b- Your waves have more body and definition to them, this can make them a little hard to straighten. You might experience some frizz and dryness, no worries, there are tons of styling products to combat this, but, use little so as not to overwhelm your hair.
2c- Your waves are way tighter and thicker with a lot of definition. Dryness and frizz is also something you might struggle with but the right products will keep your hair stunning. Your waves love heavy so don’t be afraid to be a little heavy handed when applying products. It will take a lot to straighten your hair but it is doable, your only concern should be keeping it straight.
Coily Cutie;
4a- Your coils are springy, with a tightly structured ‘S’. They are very defined, voluminous and have more shine than the rest of the bunch. Your hair has low level shrinkage, can easily become dry and can be prone to breakage. Regular moisturizing is a must for your coils.
4b- Your coils even more tightly structured than 4a, instead of an ‘S’, your coils have a zig-zag pattern that are even more defined. Your coils have a wiry texture and are densely packed. More prone to dryness, so ensure your products not only infuse moisture but retain moisture. Your hair can be delicate so handle with care.
4c- Your coils are the most tightly structured of the bunch, with coils that bend into a very obvious ‘Z’ shape. Your hair is very densely packed and has a wiry texture. It dries out quickly, shrinks quickly and breaks even more quickly, your hair is the most delicate of all the types. Moisture, moisture, moisture, is your hairs happy place.
Now you know the hair types, ways to identify them and their do's and don’ts. Most people have combination hair types, some have a combination of 3a and 3b or 4a and 4b, in cases like this, it’s best to ensure your hair care regimen is inclusive of both types for best results.
Hair Care Routine
Routines For Each Hair Type
Curly Queen(3a-3b)
Cleanse : Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo formulated specifically for curly hair. It’s best to avoid sulfates as they can mess with your natural curl pattern, leading to frizz and making it hard for you to manage your hair.

The LOC Method
When it comes to hair care, the order in which you apply products can make a significant difference. The LOC and LCO methods are two techniques that have gained popularity in recent years, and for good reason. They can help to lock in moisture, define curls, and reduce frizz.
The LOC method is a popular and effective technique for moisturizing and sealing in moisture for natural and curly hair types. LOC stands for "Liquid, Oil, Cream," and it's a simple three-step process used to maintain and maximize hair hydration. The LOC method is particularly beneficial for individuals with curly, and coily, hair textures that tend to be more prone to excess oil production
Here's how to apply the LOC method:
Start with freshly washed and conditioned hair. If you're not washing your hair, you can also use the LOC method on damp, revitalized hair.
Divide your hair into sections to ensure even application of each product.
Begin with the liquid step by spraying or applying a water-based leave-in conditioner to each section.
Follow up with the oil step by applying your chosen oil(s) to each section. Focus on the ends of your hair, which tend to be the driest.
Finish by applying the cream step, ensuring it's distributed evenly throughout your hair.
Style your hair as desired, whether that involves twists, braids, a wash-and-go, or another style that suits your hair type.
Allow your hair to air dry or use a diffuser if you prefer to use a hairdryer.
Here's a breakdown of each step in the LOC method:
Liquid (L):
Start with a water-based or water-rich leave-in conditioner or a water-based spray. This provides the initial moisture to your hair.
The liquid can be plain water, a water-based leave-in conditioner, or a hair mist specifically formulated for your hair type.
Oil (O):
Apply a natural oil (or a combination of oils) to your hair. Common choices include coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, or castor oil.
The oil helps to lock in the moisture provided by the liquid step and prevents it from evaporating too quickly. It also adds an extra layer of protection to your hair.
Cream (C):
Finish the LOC method by applying a creamy, moisture-rich product such as a hair butter, curl cream, or styling cream. These products help to seal the moisture and oil in your hair, promoting softness and manageability.
Look for products that are suitable for your hair type and contain natural, nourishing ingredients.
The LCO Method
On the other hand, the LCO method, which stands for
Liquid
Cream
Oil
is a great way to add moisture and definition to your hair, while also providing an extra layer of protection.
It starts with a leave-in conditioner or moisturizing cream, which helps to detangle and add moisture to your hair.
Next, a rich curl-defining cream or gel is applied to enhance curl shape and hold.
Finally, a rich oil such as coconut or shea butter is applied to help lock in moisture and define curls.
So, which method is right for you? It really depends on your hair type and needs. If you have dry or damaged hair, the LCO method may be the way to go, as it provides an extra layer of moisture and protection. If you have oily hair, the LOC method may be a better option, as it helps to control oil production while still providing moisture and definition.
Remember, the key is to find the right balance of moisture and definition for your hair. Experiment with different products and methods to find what works best for you, and don't be afraid to mix and match to create your own unique hair care routine.
