Just like any other hair system, you should use a wig shampoo or wig conditioner or any other that is designed for hairpieces when washing your hair topper.
- First, brush the hair of your hair topper to make sure it is tangle-free and smooth.
- Rinse and then submerge the hair topper in a large bowl or sink with cold or lukewarm water mixed with wig shampoo. Leave it to soak for at least five minutes. Turn the base inside out and soak for another five minutes. You can also wash the hair topper without submerging it by simply rinsing and applying shampoo on it for five minutes.
- Drain the water and/or rinse the hair topper again before applying wig conditioner from the ends of the hair and work your way up. Make sure not to touch the base as it can be damaged. Leave the conditioner on the hair for five minutes.
- Rinse the hair topper with cold water and dry off with a towel. Leave to dry on a wig stand afterwards.
As far as caring and maintaining the hair topper is concerned, make sure to clean it at least every other week if not once a week. If you’re not using your hair topper, take it off and store it on a stand or mannequin, but make sure to avoid exposure to sunlight. Following these steps will help prolong your hair topper’s lifespan.
