Only apply conditioner to the bottom half, or you risk loosening the delicate knots at the base, which leads to shedding. Always treat your hairpiece differently than your biological hair to ensure longevity. ### Washing Your Custom Piece Proper care is the difference between a piece that lasts 6 months and one that looks new for 2 years. We always recommend using a sulfate-free shampoo. Start by filling a basin with water and gently massaging the shampoo downwards. Never scrub in circular motions, as this tangles the hair. Always let it air dry on a mannequin head to preserve the cap shape. Never wring or twist the hair when it is wet. ### Managing Your Lace Front Cutting your own lace can be intimidating, but it is a simple process with the right tools. Use small, sharp scissors. Trim slowly, a little at a time, until you reach the hairline. If you are nervous, practice on a dummy head first. When it comes to glue removal, never pull forcefully. Use a dedicated wig glue remover or rubbing alcohol to soften the adhesive, let it sit for a few minutes, and wipe away gently. This prevents damage to the delicate lace. ### Daily Maintenance Tips If you wear a topper, remember to brush it gently every day, starting from the ends and working up to the roots to prevent breakage. Store your unit on a stand, not in a drawer. Heat styling is fine, but always use a heat protectant spray. Remember, this is human hair. Just like your natural hair, it needs moisture and protection to stay shiny and manageable. ## About Color Chic At Color Chic, we are obsessed with the details.
