Follow these steps to keep your AblantBeauty wig looking flawless for 12 months and beyond.

A wig that is cared for properly will last you over a year. Treat it like your own hair - gently, consistently, with the right products.

- Vanessa Ablant

Washing Your Wig

Every 10-15 wears
  1. 1Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb before washing, working from ends to roots.
  2. 2Fill a basin with cool or lukewarm water - never hot water as this damages the hair cuticle.
  3. 3Add sulphate-free shampoo and gently swirl the wig. Do not scrub or rub.
  4. 4Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all shampoo is removed.
  5. 5Apply moisturising conditioner from mid-length to ends. Avoid the roots and lace.
  6. 6Leave conditioner on for 5-10 minutes then rinse with cool water.
  7. 7Gently squeeze out excess water with a clean towel. Never wring or twist.

Drying Your Wig

After every wash
  1. 1Pat gently with a microfibre towel to remove excess water.
  2. 2Place on a wig stand to maintain its shape while drying.
  3. 3Allow to air dry naturally whenever possible to preserve hair quality.
  4. 4If using a blow dryer use the lowest heat setting. Always use heat protectant.
  5. 5Never sleep with a wet wig as this causes tangling and can damage the lace.

Styling Your Wig

As needed
  1. 1Always apply a heat protectant spray before using any heat tools.
  2. 2Use heat tools on the lowest effective setting - 180C maximum.
  3. 3Style in small sections for even heat distribution.
  4. 4Allow hair to cool completely before touching or brushing further.
  5. 5Avoid over-styling - repeated heat reduces the lifespan of the wig.

Daily Maintenance

Every wear
  1. 1Gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb before and after wearing.
  2. 2Always comb from ends upward toward roots to prevent breakage.
  3. 3Apply a light leave-in conditioner to keep hair moisturised.
  4. 4Keep the wig away from chlorine, salt water, and excessive humidity.

Storage

When not wearing
  1. 1Store on a wig stand or in its original box to maintain the style.
  2. 2Keep away from direct sunlight which can fade the colour.
  3. 3Store in a cool dry place away from heat sources.
  4. 4Do not store in a plastic bag - the wig needs to breathe.

Lace Care

Every 1-2 weeks
  1. 1Clean adhesive residue from the lace using 99% isopropyl alcohol on a cotton ball.
  2. 2Work gently - do not pull or stretch the lace.
  3. 3Allow the lace to dry completely before re-applying adhesive.
  4. 4Inspect the lace regularly for tears. Small tears can be repaired with wig glue.
