Out of the box
When you take your
new wig out of the box -- it will not look like the style you pictured in the
catalogue -- it has been specially wrapped and packed to hold it's preset
style. Remove the hairnet and any tissue paper. Cup your hands inside the wig
at the crown and nape, and give it a good shake. This wakes up the wig fibres.
For best results place your wig on a wig stand overnight. This allows your wig
to breathe and loosen into its preset style more completely.

Preparing to wear your new wig
For short hair,
brush your hair back in the front and up on the sides - then spray with hair
spray. For longer hair - Pin up your hair in flat pin curls away from the
front, side, and the nape of your neck. Set the pin curls evenly all over your
head, so that your wig will lay flat.
3.
Putting on your new wig
Hold the wig with
one hand gripping the back of the wig, at the label, and the other hand holding
the centre of the front hairline. Tilt your head forward and slip on the wig
from front to back. Slide the wig back until the front edge is even with your
front hairline.

The styling basics
Relax and have
fun! Experiment with your style to get the look that's right for you. Trying to
get every hair in place can make your style look " wiggy " Many of our styles
just need a good shake and they're ready to wear. For our other styles, always
use a good quality wild boar wig brush or pick comb. A regular comb or brush
will stretch the wig fibres and loosen the curl. To finish your style and hold
it in place, use wig styling spray, if you wish to create a more textured and
natural look, spray the wig with water then brush it through gently to get a
modern effect. Never use regular hair spray, styling gels, and mousse - they
will leave a film that attracts dirt and dust.
SPECIFIC STYLING
A tight or ringlet curly style
Give a good shake and then gently lift and separate curls with your pick comb,
or style with your fingers. Do not brush.
Wavy with loose curls
Lightly brush using short lifting strokes, just enough to relax and shape your
style.
A fluff style or soft curls (
especially back and sides)
With short upward strokes, lightly brush away from your face.
Straight
Lightly brush with long, even strokes, from the crown to the ends for a smooth,
sleek look.
You may not feel quite right about it the first time you see it on. Take a few
days to get used to seeing the "new you". Walk past a mirror a few times, ask a
close friend or family member to give you their opinion.
