Wigs, extensions or human hair weaves made of human hair undergo intense chemical processing during their production, to maintain them correctly, it is necessary to use specially formulated care products; It is important to only use products that are specific for this type of wigs, do not use standard products that you use for biological hair, since chemical products can reduce its life and spoil the cap.
It is not necessary to wash your sew in hair daily, in fact, it is not recommended; Every time you wash your wig, its useful life is shortened, therefore it should be washed when it is dirty and not before. If you wear your wig every day, about 10 hours, it is normal to wash it once a week. You can always lengthen your wash if you use a special cap under the wig that will help absorb the oils from the scalp and keep the helmet cleaner for longer, as well as giving you extra comfort.
Always store your hair weaves in a holder that is smaller than the wig cap, to avoid stretching. And it is preferable that you store it in a place where it does not get direct sunlight. If you are not going to be using it for a long time, protect it with a natural fiber cloth or bag, such as cotton or linen.
