The internet is a wonderful thing. You get access to information, as quickly as you can search for it. Unfortunately, sometimes that information is bad. In the case of lace wigs, it can be extremely bad. First things first, no matter how many times we say it, use common sense. Don’t do something to a wig that you wouldn’t do to your own head.

Every now and then we get a customer, who has spent $500-600 on a wig, who blindly took advice from a website or message board and tried a procedure on her wig. Inevitably, the procedure damages the wig and the customer usually tries to pass it off as a defect, claiming this weird chain of events happened to a normal wig.

I will say this time and time again, don’t use household bleach on your wig, ammonia, or any other chemical, and don’t put your wig in the microwave. You would never do these things to your own hair, don’t try them on a wig. The consequences are often unpredictable but can range form hair loss to irreparable damage to the hair or the wig cap.

Every wig that is returned to us for repair or damage is carefully inspected, and we have tools that identify unusual chemical use on a wig. Please don’t follow advice you read everywhere as we are entirely against chemical concoctions or science experiments on lace wigs.
