Hair Care & Styling Guide

We recommend washing your hair every 6-8 wears. We do not recommend coloring or chemical alterations.

  • CHECK WASH

Raregen recommends performing a check wash on any human hair system within 14 days of receipt.

  • Before washing your human hair wig, gently remove any tangles using your paddle brush.
  • Wet hair completely using cool running water. Comb through hair with your fingers several times.
  • If no signs of tangling / matting occur, continue to cleanse & condition, checking for excessive tangling as you go.
  • If you do notice excessive tangling / matting, it may be a sign of inversion, contact us immediately.

Noted: Tangling / matting that occurs after months of wear is due to improper care.

  • CLEANSE & CONDITION
  • Before washing, remove tangles using your paddle brush.
  • Gently lather hair with a small amount of luxury shampoo, making sure hair is traveling in the same direction. Do not rub hair, this may cause tangling.
  • Rinse thoroughly under cool runing water until the water runs clear.
  • Apply conditioner, avoiding the base of the wig.( Applying conditioner to the base / cap may weaken the knots).
  • Using your fingers, work conditioner through mid-lengths and ends for 3-5 minutes.
  • Rinse again in cool running water until water runs clear.
  • DRY & STYLE
  • Wrap wig in a towel and gently pat to remove excess water.
  • Gently remove any tangles using your paddle brush.
  • Allow cap to dry completely before applying to a canvas block head.
  • Dampen hair again and apply a small amount of balm; distribute evenly throughout hair , keeping away from base.
  • Starting at nape, work in 2" section using your round boar-bristle brush and blow dry hair. Use the “cool shot” button to lock in style.

Human hair must be dried and styled after washing. Air-drying will leave the hair un-polished and can trap water in the hair causing frizzing.
