3 Key Care Steps: Wash · Style · Store

✅ Washing Your Wig or Topper

Gentleness is key. Harsh scrubbing, strong shampoos, or rough handling can lead to tangling, shedding, and breakage—especially around the lace or silk areas.

💡 Pro Tip: You don’t need to wash your piece as often as your natural hair.
Washing every 10–20 wears is typically enough. The more you wash, the shorter its life.

How to wash:

1. Gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb before washing.

2. Fill a sink with lukewarm water and mix in a small amount of SLS-free shampoo.

3. Submerge the piece and gently swirl it. Be especially gentle around the crown and top.

4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

5. Apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends only. Avoid the lace or silk top, as conditioner can loosen the knots.

6. Rinse thoroughly. Too much product or residue will make the hair appear dull or greasy.

7. Treat your piece to occasional deep conditioning masks for a soft, silky feel.

✅ Drying

After rinsing, gently squeeze out excess water (never wring).
Wrap it in a towel and pat dry again. Place it on a wig stand or mannequin head, and gently comb it into your preferred parting.

✨ Air-drying is best for longevity and shine.
In a hurry? Use a blow dryer on low heat with the nozzle pointing downward to smooth and protect the cuticle.

✅ Styling

Human hair wigs and toppers give you endless styling freedom—go sleek, curly, braided, or pinned up. Try something new and enjoy reinventing your look.

💡 Heat tool safety tip:
Heat tools are your friends—but also your wig’s worst enemy if misused. Always use them responsibly and protect your hair with heat-safe products.

What to Avoid & Be Mindful Of

🌊 Beach & Pool

Yes, you can wear your wig or topper to the beach or pool, but salt water and chlorine will damage the hair and shorten its lifespan.
Human hair is a valuable investment—so consider saving your Raregen piece for dry land, and opt for a synthetic wig, sun hat, or turban for beach days.

☀️ Sunscreen Warning

Some sunscreens contain avobenzone and octocrylene, which can cause discoloration on blonde or grey hair.

Choose mineral-based sunscreens instead to protect your color:
• Bare Republic Mineral Sunscreen Lotion
• Sun Bum Mineral SPF 50 Lotion
• Coola Organic Mineral Sunscreen

🎭 Wig Stand & Cork Head Sizing

Wig heads and cork mannequins come in different sizes!
Make sure the stand is slightly smaller than your wig cap to avoid stretching.

👱 Blonde Hair Care

Blonde tones may oxidize over time, becoming warmer or brassier.
Use a purple shampoo rinse or visit a stylist for a light toner refresh when needed.

❌ Products to Avoid

You can safely use any high-quality salon-grade products—like serums or oils—on your human hair piece.
• For blondes, always use clear oils.
• Avoid darker oils (like Moroccan oil) which can stain lighter hair.
• Do not use colored root sprays or pigmented dry shampoos, which can stain the silk top.

⚠️ Friction & Rubbing

Repeated contact with rough surfaces (hats, seat belts, collars) can cause tangling or breakage.
We don’t recommend wearing hats over your topper or wig.

☀️ Sun Exposure

Extended time in direct sunlight can fade or dry out your hair. Use UV-protectant sprays to help minimize sun damage.

Final Note

Treat your hairpiece with care and respect, and it will return the favor by staying beautiful, wearable, and confidence-boosting.

This isn’t just hair—it’s your little secret weapon for looking and feeling like you, every single day.

Handle with love. Wear with pride. Shine always. Raregen is with you every step of the way.
