Our goal is to have you feel as good about yourself as possible so you can better cope with your situation. We will also show you how to wear hair alternatives, scarves, make-up and eyelashes.

Special Care Instructions:

Carefully read these instructions to extend the life of your wig and to keep it looking nice.

Special Note:

We have found over the years that certain medications and fevers can cause your body temperature to rise. When the hair of the wig touches you, it can cause your wig to frizz, even through your clothing.

Do's

Wash your wig or hairpiece after wearing it twenty to thirty times. Use a wig shampoo and a separate wig conditioner specifically formulated to clean and condition synthetic hair.
Keep your wig on a styrofoam or wig saver head to maintain shape.
When styling your wig, use your fingertips, wire brush, pick or wig life comb. Please ask for specific styling instructions for your wig. Each wig style requires special separate instructions.
Wigs are adjustable: There are two velcro tabs, hooks that fit into slots at the nape of the wig, and slide adjustments. To adjust fit, the closer to the center of the wig, the tighter the fit will be. Away from the center, the larger the wig will be. The wig should be snug but not tight. Fitting the wig too tightly will cause the wig to feel like it is going to pop off your head. Some people with extra large heads may need to have their wigs stretched. Some people with extra small heads may need to have tucks taken in the wig.
Ear tabs: Each wig has ear tabs. These tabs are located at the temple area. When these tabs are equal on your head, the wig is on straight.
Only use products specifically formulated for synthetic wigs and hairpieces.
When wearing long wigs or hair pieces, pull hair to one side to avoid damaging hair while driving or riding in a car, as the friction and heat can cause the wig to friz.
To control fly-away strands of hair, lightly spray with a wig conditioner on the wig; style as usual.
Another option is to have Wig Creations by Coni do a custom styling for your wig. After you have had your wig for six months to one year, bring your wig back to us to be refurbished. There is a small charge for this service.

Don'ts:

Don't wear your wig or hairpiece near heat, such as: an open oven, boiling water, steam, clothes dryers, barbecue grills, irons, wall furnaces, stove burners, cigarette lighters, matches, electric frying equipment or fireplaces. These heat sources can cause the fibres to melt and ruin your wig. Be careful while cooking as many of these heat sources can cause your wig to frizz.
Don't wear your wig or hairpiece while using a heating pad or hot water bottle, if these items are to be used near the neck or head.
Don't use drying aids such as blow dryers, hair dryers or clothes dryers to dry your wig or hairpiece.
Don't use curling irons, hot rollers or steam rollers as this will also cause your wig or hairpiece to frizz.
Don't brush your wig with a regular hairbrush, as the bristles are too close together and will catch the hair and pull it out of the wefting.
Don't drag a wire brush or comb through the hair as this will cause the hair to relax and straighten.
If you have a wig that says "do no brush", please pick or use fingers to comb. Please ask for specific instructions.
Don't put your wig or hairpiece in the washing machine or dishwasher to wash. Only wash it by hand.
Don't use harsh shampoos, sprays or styling products as these items can cause the wig to frizz or cause chemicals to build up on the hair fibres.
Don't use permanent hair colors or permanents on your wig or hairpiece.
Don't put your wig on a head form when the wig is wet as this will cause the wig to stretch out of shape.
Don't wear your long wig under your coat or sweater as the heat and friction can cause the wig to frizz.
Don't stand in front of furnaces or fireplaces.
Don't sleep or nap in your wig or hairpiece as the friction and the heat will cause the wig to frizz.
Don't wear your wig or hairpiece in tanning booths, saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, jacuzzis, near heat lamps or while riding in hot air balloons.
Don't wear your wig while exercising as the rise in body temperature may cause your wig to frizz.

Cleaning & Conditioning:

Use a shampoo specifically formulated to clean synthetic hair. Mix a capful of shampoo with cold water in a sink basin. Immerse wig/hairpiece into shampoo and water mixture and let it soak for five to ten minutes. Use a soft brush to remove any makeup from around the edges of your wig/hairpiece. You may have to pour a small amount of shampoo directly on the edge to remove the makeup. Check the hair itself near the cheek area as sometimes blush gets on the hair in this area. Gently use a soft brush to remove it.
Rinse wig/hairpiece in cold water, filling sink three to four times or until the wig/hairpiece has been thoroughly rinsed.
Wrap your wig/hairpiece in a towel and gently pat to remove excess water. Do not wring out the wig/hairpiece.
Remove from towel and spray wig conditioner specially formulated for synthetic wigs and hairpieces. The spray will come out in a fine mist. You will need to spray fifteen to twenty times to cover the entire wig/hairpiece.
Scrunch the hair fibres with your fingers to work in the conditioner. With your fingers, style the wig to the original style by gently lifting up the fibres with your fingers. Do not comb or brush your wig/hairpiece while it is still wet as this will cause the hair to become straight.
- For short wigs: Once you have finger-picked your wig, lay it on another towel on its back to dry overnight.
- For medium to long wigs: Place wig/hairpiece face down on a towel and scrunch hair as close to the cap as possible to form a ball. This will save the curl pattern.
- For straight wigs and hairpieces: Ask for specific instructions.
Do not hang wig or hairpiece to dry as water is heavy and the weight of the water will cause the hair to straighten.
Do not put your wig or hairpiece on a head form to dry as this will cause the cap to stretch out of shape.
Custom styling is available for a small fee.
