  • How to Care & Maintain Your Human Hair Lace Wig

    Whether you're new to wigs or have used them in the past, it's always a good idea to refresh your memory on how to properly take care of them. It’s important to get into a good routine with your human hair wig from the start because good habits equal longer lasting hair.

    How do I care for my HT Wig?

    Since they are made from 100% virgin human hair, they can be styled and washed just like your regular hair, however , the more you wash and heat style your lace wig, the shorter their lifespan will be, so try to keep washing and product use to a minimum. Keep in mind that unlike your own hair, which receives natural hydration from the oils on your scalp, lace wigs don't have a natural hydration source. Therefore, keeping them hydrated is key to keeping the hair healthy and in good condition.

    Best hair oils for my HT WIG:

    COCONUT OIL: 

    Due to its moisture retaining properties, coconut oil stays inside the hair stands instead of evaporating, making it one of the most effective hair treatments there is. Use coconut oil to deep condition your wig by slathering them with the oil prior to washing. Try to refrain from using it as a finishing oil, as you may find that your hair looks too oily/greasy afterwards.

    ARGAN OIL : 

    Just a few drops of argan oil nourishes, moisturizes, and smoothens hair strands, reducing dryness, brittleness, and frizziness, perfect for soft, manageable human hair wig. Since argan oil is not as greasy as coconut oil, it can be used as a finishing oil after styling.

    JOJOBA OIL

    Extracted from the jojoba plant, jojoba oil has a chemical structure that resembles the oil that is produced naturally by our scalps (sebum). Therefore, similar to coconut oil, jojoba oil hydrates hair strands from deep within, adding shine and softness to the wig. Use jojoba oil as an overnight mask before washing.

    WHAT SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER SHOULD I USE ON MY HT WIG? 

    Purchasing sulfate-free and alcohol-free products is a necessity as they are imperative to maintain the health of your wig. These ingredients strip the hair of its natural oils and will affect their integrity. This, in turn, makes the hair drier and more prone to tangling or matting.

    Remember, products that are free from sulfates might not produce much lather as they are gentle cleansers but that is a good thing! We don’t want the shampoo to strip the good oils from the hair.

    Always be sure to do one simple thing before you buy any product… flip it over! Many products out there have sulfates and alcohol hidden in their formulas. Not all companies claiming to make sulfate-free shampoos are truly free of sulfates.

    Purchase products specifically formulated for dry and damaged hair, as they will help keep the hair strands healthy and nourished.
     

    HOW OFTEN SHOULD I WASH MY HT WIG?

    Since your wig won't absorb the oils your natural hair would, you don’t have to wash them as often. As a general rule, the less you wash your wig the longer they will last you. You can use your best judgment on how often to wash it. If your wig feels like it's becoming increasingly difficult to style, this is likely a sign that there is product build-up and needs to be washed. We recommend washing after once or twice a month. 

    HOW TO WASH YOUR HT WIG: 

    Step 1: Brush your Wig:

    One of the most important steps is to brush your wig out before washing them and only once the hair is 90% dry. This helps minimize the possibility of breakage and shedding because the hair is at its weakest point when wet. Keep in mind it is also more susceptible to breakage when wet.

    Step 2: Shampoo your wig:

    Hold the wig in one hand at the top, submerge it into the water, and gently wash the hair, working the shampoo in with light strokes. When washing, make sure to handle the wig gently and to not rub it vigorously as you would with your natural hair. Once you have washed the wig with shampoo, set it aside neatly on a towel.

    Step 3: Condition your wig:

    Once the wig has been shampooed, it's time to condition it. Take a generous amount of conditioner and apply onto to your wig from top to bottom, massaging the product thoroughly into the hair. Leave on for 30+ minutes, then rinse out the wig thoroughly. As a general rule, the longer you leave it on the better.

    Step 4: Apply a deep conditioner or hair mask:

    This step is crucial to ensure that your wig remain soft, and moisturized. Just like your conditioner, take a good about of the hair mask and work the product into the hair from top to bottom. In order for the product to really soak in and work its magic, bundle the hair and carefully and place them in a shower cap to leave overnight. This will help to seal in the moisture throughout the night.

    Step 5: Rinse out your wig:

    The next morning, thoroughly rinse out your wig, ensuring that there is no conditioner residue left on the hair or lace. A common mistake is to only wash the hair halfway, leaving it with "the slip"–that slippery, soft feeling after conditioning. This is a no-no, as it actually leaves product on the hair, which weighs it down or causes it to look greasy when dry.

    When washing out the wig, rinse it again with cold water, which will help close the cuticles of the hair to seal in the moisture and leave the hair with a beautiful lustre

    Step 6: Lay your wig out to air dry:

    First, carefully squeeze any excess water from your wig and make sure that you never rub your wig dry with a towel. We highly recommend air-drying your wig whenever possible. When air drying, be sure to invest in a micro-fibre towel as it will remove excess water faster and it won’t rough up the hair (which can also cause tangles).

    Lay out all of the wig on a flat surface and gently pat the excess moisture from the hair. A trick to preventing any frizz once the hair dries is to apply a small amount of hair oil to the hair to ensure the hair remains manageable and silky smooth.

    Excellent!

    Thank you for my recent order. I love the hair! Purchased European hair with baylage coloring. My mom loves the color. Looks very natural. I have been purchasing wigs since I was a little girl due to health reasons. One of the best that I’ve purchased. Thank you so much!

    Chole

    Just what I wanted. Thank you everyone, nice service and great quality.

    Great Feel and look!

    The wig was everything I expected in a well made beautiful unit! No complaints, I will be ordering again. The price is steep, so hopefully some consideration will be made for more sales, specials, etc.

    Love my new hair piece. Only wish that the cap came in a petite side, my head is a little small that the xsmall

    Beautiful Hait

    The hair is so beautiful it looks so natural and just perfect.

    Amazing Experience during Total Hair Loss

    As someone who is going through total hair loss, I am so impressed with the way my experience went with Heavenly Tresses as a whole. The customer service was impeccable.

    My hair unit was absolutely worth the wait. I purchased a cranial prosthesis for total hair loss with fine medical grade lace, I was able to pick the density and customize my hairline and add extra baby hairs. I had the ability to select high density, European hair. This really looked like my real hair.

    The best part, when my autistic 10 year-old saw me with it on, he jumped up, clapped and giggled. He looked like he wanted to cry. Nothing beats seeing your kid that happy. Not to mention, my son tends to be very honest.

    Best kinky hair ever

    I’m beyond happy .. I will forever be a loyal customer… this hair is exactly what you described, it’s RAW VIRGIN soft , luxurious, no unwanted order , limited to no shedding and mimicked the hair out my scalp ..I will be ordering again thank you

    Wow!

    This Virgin European Wig is so stunning. I find the the light ash brown is so flattering. I've received so many compliments and I feel so confident in my new wig. Worth the investment. Thank you so much!! x

    Makes the best wigs.

    This company is very professional. I usually custom order my wigs, and have been purchasing their wigs for many years. A unit I ordered had a few minor issues and the customer service was top notch. They willingly gave me a big discount for a future purchase. Well, this last unit is perfectly stunning and I truly appreciate the amount of effort they have put in as to keep their customers happy . thank you so much Heavenly Tresses. Please if you are considering or on the fence give they a try. You won't be disappointed.

    Best white platinum EVER!!

    This wig is stunning. It is the first time I’ve have found this white blonde in the correct cool ashy undertone. This icy hue is bold and so striking. I have received so many compliments on my wig. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

    Best quality!

    Love this medical unit. Quality and craftsmanship is perfect. Although I did the lace front version this time. I’m already planning my next purchase however, I’ll be making the investment and getting the full lace version as I think I’ll love the styling versatility. That was my fault though as I was on a tighter budget when I made the purchase . Overall great online buying experience.

    You won't regret it!

    Heavenly Tresses was very accommodating. I needed this unit for an event so, I needed to make two small changes and they allowed me to pay an additional fee. Thank you, the unit turned out beautifully. I can't wit to purchase my next wig from this brand.

    Buy it!

    This unit is beautiful. I've been purchasing wigs for many years and this is by far one of my favorite units. Hairline is so natural and the ombre' is soft no harsh lines. Customer service was great and the unit shipped within the timeframe specified.

    Buy it!!

    If you are on the fence about ordering from Heavenly Tresses, let me tell you the customer service is top notch from start to finish. They even follow up after you receive your piece! The Milan is thick and it is long. I was intimidated by this at first because it’s the longest and thickest unit I own. However I work with kids and I have been called out before for my wig - kids have no filter. I have never had this issue with any hair purchased with this company. It looks so natural - even this thick one!

    Gorgeous!

    I've been wearing hair for 20 years across 4 different states and ordered by 5 different stylists, and I've never had hair that looks as stunningly gorgeous and natural as this hair. This is top quality and beautifully-constructed -- very minimal shedding and no fading a year into wearing it. My husband also thinks it's the most natural hair I've ever had since losing my own.Thanks Heavenly Tresses, for your amazing work!

    Amazing!

    Such a gorgeous unit. The cut ad style is so pretty. First time buyer and I must say I’m very impressed.

    Amazing!

    Such a gorgeous unit. The hairline is impeccable. First time trying HD lace and I must say I do actually notice a difference. Hair quality is also lovely.

    High quality. This wig is all I need to feel like million dollars.

    I bought Lilly (stock) and customized it myself. The hair is gorgeous, soft, and very, very durable. The lace is invisible on the skin, but shows ever so slightly over my bio hair. I glue down the very front with got2be. The cap construction is of highest quality, very minimalist and as seamless as possible. I got my second custom-made Kim from them as well and I'm very impressed. Their wigs are for true wig wearers who know wigs and expect to get as close to perfection as possible. I will keep getting my wigs from Heavenly. Oh and one more thing to add, no matter if I'm dressed down for an occasion, with this hair on, I know I look great.

    SHE IS STUNNING!

    This wig is perfect! From the impeccable hairline to the length and density. Worth the investment. Above everything customer service is top notch.

    Perfect

    It was thick but the texture, softness and construction is on point. Hair flat irons beautifully. Parting is natural. I love it. The best place to order wigs.

    The BEST 💯

    The best wig I ever had. The hair was unbelieveable soft and flowing and shiny .Lots of body and bounce
    I can't wait for my next 👱‍♀️
    Its coming from Heavenly Tress
    Thank you

    Soft Curls

    Beautiful unit! Great purchase couldn't be happier.

    Love Her!

    Took a chance purchasing online. Couldn't be happier with this wig. Extremely satisfied and the small cap fits like a glove. Color is just as pictured and hair quality is beautiful. I think I will purchase " Amy " from this collection next. I've already referred a few friends.

    Nice quality but too thick

    I just received my unit. It is very full. In fact, too full for me personally but if you are looking for a densely thick, soft and full wig, this is for you. The part and hairline are very natural looking and the hair did not shed when combing it at all. I'm going to have to try and press it out a little more straight. But is is nice quality and I love that I could add more combs and the band has hooks so you can adjust how tight the band is. I would not buy this particular wig again but I would try a less kinky style given the hair quality and ability to customize. It also is a shame it takes so long to receive. But customer service is responsive and and I will work with them to get more information on the best wig texture for what I'd like. I'lll send this one to my sister if I can not it to appear more straight or thin it out a bit. Overall worth it but I just purchased the wrong texture.

    Thank you so much for your candid feedback it is much appreciated.

    Perfect Blonde Unit!

    This unit is worth the money. It is stunning the perfect blonde shade for me and the fullness is from roots through to the ends. I was able to install it myself using the band and clips attached. I've had it for a while now. No excessive shedding or anything. The hair is excellent quality.

    Great customer service and overall a very positive online shopping experience. Thanks guys!
