If you choose to wear a sew in or a Closure Wig , you can be sure that it will last longer than the frontal type. But you will have to take some care of your wig to let it serve you and make the most of it. How about your lace closures? This will depend on three factors mentioned below 1. The type of the lace The lace type will have a major impact on the 4x4 Closure Wig durability. There are usually two types – French and Swiss. While the French lace comes in different colors, the Swiss lace is more transparent and flimsy. 2. The type of hair The type of hair used for the Lace Closure Wigs is also important. Do not think that a synthetic wig will last longer than a natural one like the Remy hair. For your information, non-Remy hair and comb wastes are so fragile because they are treated chemically to straighten them. 3. The hairstyle Steam heat and chemical treatments are used in the manufacturing of blond straight or body wavy lace closures. Although the manufacturers try to reduce the possible side effects of this type of processing, these wigs still have adverse effects on the quality of the hair. Pre washing - gently remove the tangles (if any) from the wig before shampooing. Always apply a mild shampoo or one that is specially formulated for your chemically treated wig Shampooing - never soak because this will cause the hair to tangle. When you think your hair is completely wet, apply a little amount of shampoo with your fingers and evenly distribute it all throughout the hair. Washing – run your hair under warm water and see to that the water is not hot but warm. Gently let the shampoo enter into the hair by stroking downwards. Start from the top and finish to the ends without twisting, scrubbing or rubbing the hair. Combing - gently comb your hair to get rid of tangles while the hair is still wet. You can use a large toothed comb but never use any bristle brush on the wet hair because this could break or pull out the hair. Rinsing – if yours is a 100% human hair silk base wig, you can rinse it under a stream of cold water to remove any remains of the shampoo or the suds. In order to avoid the occurrence of tangling, make sure that the cold water flows from the hair cap to the hair ends. Then blot with your towel to remove any excess water. Conditioning – apply a little amount of conditioner with your fingers and evenly distribute it all throughout the hair I hope you have found this guide useful.
