Hair system, wig & topper care
Care that keeps your hair looking its best.
From washing and styling to scalp comfort and service visits, learn the questions to ask about the specific hairpiece you wear. Different fibers, bases and attachments need different routines.
Three essentials of a good care routine
Your instructions should come from your specialist and the maker of your particular piece. These are the core subjects to review together.
Wash carefully
Confirm approved products, washing frequency, detangling technique and whether adhesives or attachment points require special handling. Synthetic and human-hair pieces can differ significantly.
Style and store safely
Check whether heated tools, color services and chemical treatments are suitable. Ask how to dry, brush and store your piece without damaging its fiber, base or attachment.
Prioritize scalp comfort
Speak to the studio about fit and attachment discomfort. For pain, burning, broken skin or persistent irritation, seek an appropriate healthcare evaluation.

Answers for daily care
Open each question for practical guidance, then confirm the appropriate details for your specific system.
Can I use my usual shampoo?
Not necessarily. Check the instructions for your particular hair fiber, base and attachment. Products appropriate for natural hair may not suit the piece you wear.
Can I use a blow dryer or curling iron?
Only if your piece’s manufacturer and specialist permit it. Heat tolerance varies, particularly among synthetic fibers. Ask about temperature limits and suitable styling techniques.
How should I dry and store my piece?
Follow your maker’s directions for blotting, air drying, support, storage and detangling. Handle the base and attachment points gently.
What should I do if my scalp becomes irritated?
Contact your provider regarding fit or attachment. If you develop pain, burning, broken skin, persistent inflammation or other concerning symptoms, seek medical advice.
What should I ask at a fitting appointment?
Request a demonstration of attachment, removal, cleansing and styling, a written product-specific care plan, contact information for repairs, and your follow-up schedule.
What costs should I plan for?
Ask about approved home-care products, professional servicing, adjustments, repairs and eventual replacement. Confirm which services the studio actually offers.
