Washing Your Wig
Consistency is key when it comes to keeping your unit fresh and hydrated.
- Gently detangle before washing, starting from the ends and working your way up
- Wash 1–2 times per week using lukewarm water
- Smooth shampoo downward through the hair—no harsh scrubbing
- Deep condition weekly for maximum moisture (let it sit for up to 1 hour)
- Rinse with cool water to seal in hydration
- Use color-safe products for any colored units
- Rinse lace thoroughly from both sides
- Apply a lightweight leave-in conditioner while the hair is still damp
Styling
Less heat = longer lasting healthy hair.
- Try to limit heat styling when possible
- Always use a heat protectant before applying heat
- Blow dry on medium heat only
- Keep flat iron temperatures below 400°F
Nighttime Routine
Protecting your wig at night helps reduce your styling time and effort in the morning.
- For best results, take your wig off at night and store in satin bag or on mannequin.
- Never sleep on wet hair—this leads to tangling and matting
- Set your edges with mousse and wrap with a silk or satin scarf
- For straight styles, place hair in a loose, low ponytail (optional) and cover with a satin bonnet
Morning Refresh
Bring your wig back to life in just a few minutes.
- Put your wig on, melt and adjust color of lace (if needed), refresh your style, and go!
- For curls or waves: lightly mist with water, apply a small amount of mousse, define with brush, apply serum, and scrunch
- For straight styles: brush through and smooth with a lightweight serum. Lightly flatiron if needed.
- Comb baby hairs for a soft, fluffy finish
Curly & Wavy Wigs
Curly wigs thrive on moisture and patience.
- Co-wash every 2–3 days to maintain hydration
- Always detangle while wet and coated in conditioner
- Use a paddle or Denman brush to define curls and minimize shedding
- Apply mousse or a lightweight curl cream while damp
- Avoid touching hair while it dries to prevent frizz
- Handle gently—this helps prevent tangling, shedding, and breakage
Color-Treated Wigs
Colored units need a little extra love to stay vibrant.
- Use color-safe shampoo and conditioner
- Wash with cool to lukewarm water to prevent color fading
- Apply a lightweight serum after each wash
- Deep condition at least once per week
- Air dry whenever possible
Please note: Color fading over time is completely normal due to washing and environmental exposure.
A Gentle Reminder
Every wig from Flowery Units is designed to make you feel beautiful without adding stress or extra time to your routine. Your wig is an investment and with the right care and products, not only will it stay healthy, but will last longer!
