Washing your human hair topper correctly is crucial to preserving its quality and appearance. With the right techniques and products, you can ensure that your topper remains pristine for an extended period.
Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to wash your human hair topper effectively:
The first and foremost thing to be kept in mind when it comes to washing a human hair topper is that you should never overwash hairpieces for women. Ideally, you should wash them after at least 7-10 uses or until you notice them looking dull and limp.
Things you will need
Before you begin washing women’s hair toppers, you will need a wide-tooth comb or a nylon bristle looped brush for wigs, a hairpiece shampoo, a hydrating wig conditioner, a basin with lukewarm water, and a clean towel. If you are using clip-in hair toppers, ensure the clips are closed so there is no tangling and knotting of the hair strands.
Detangle
Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush to detangle the hair topper with gentle strokes. Begin brushing the hair strands from the ends upwards to avoid putting pressure on the roots of the hair unit. Tugging or pulling forcefully is a big no-no and could lead to hair breakage or shedding, damaging the hairpiece.
To make this process easier, you can use a detangling spray from Superhairpieces that aids you in untangling the knots while providing your hair with a beautiful shine and fragrance.
Washing
Always use cold or lukewarm water to wash women’s hairpieces. Do not use hot water to wash your hair topper as it will damage the hair strands, rob it of moisture, and damage the base or cap of the hair topper as well.
To keep your hair system in good shape, it is best to hold the base from below while running the water through the hair. Do not rub or scrub the hair strands together, as this will create knots and tangle the hair, resulting in hair shedding.
Apply a generous quantity of shampoo onto your palms and evenly smother it from top to bottom throughout the length of the hair, including some on the base. Only use a wig-specific shampoo to add hydration and long-lasting protection to our hair unit.
Rinse the hair and repeat the step with the wig conditioner. Focus on the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the roots to prevent weighing down the hair. Avoid applying conditioner directly onto the topper base, as it may cause the hair knots to become loose over time.
Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to detangle the hair while the conditioner is still in. This step helps to ensure that the hair remains smooth and manageable. Let it remain on the hair for a few minutes, and rinse the conditioner under cool running water until the water runs clear. This ensures that no product remains in the hair. Cold water also helps seal the cuticles and adds shine to the hair.
Follow with a leave-in conditioner, but do not rinse out the hairpiece. Never skip the leave-in conditioner for hairpieces; it keeps your hair topper looking and feeling great.
Remove Excess Water
Gently squeeze out excess water from the topper using a clean towel. Avoid wringing or twisting the hair, as this can cause damage.
Air Dry
Avoid using heat styling tools on wet hair, which can lead to heat damage and frizz. Allow the hair topper to air dry naturally on a wig stand or a mannequin head. Never use a styrofoam or blockhead to dry a wet hair topper, as this can stretch the topper cap. Ensure you have the part line on the hair topper in the desired way, as that will help it dry and set in the way you want to wear it.
Styling
Once the topper is completely dry, style it as desired using heat styling tools at a low-temperature setting. Remember to use heat-protectant products to minimize heat damage.
Storage
Store the clean, dry topper in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and avoid storing it in a cramped space to prevent tangling.
Expert Tips:
Washing a hair topper while taking a shower is not recommended as they are easily detachable and can be better washed separately rather than with your natural hair.
By following these simple steps, you can maintain the natural beauty and texture of your human hair topper for thinning hair, ensuring that it remains in excellent condition for an extended period. Regular washing and proper care will keep your topper looking stunning and feeling luxurious for as long as possible.
