THE BROADWAY WIG COMPANY
Congratulations! You
have just purchased a custom made lace front wig from The Broadway Wig Company.
With careful handling it will look great for all your performances or
personal needs. Below are some of the questions and answers you might have
regarding the care of your new wig.
As always please feel free to call or email us with any further questions you
might have. If you do not have access to any of the things mentioned here that
we use for wig maintenance you can contact us and arrange to order them.
The best place for a wig to live is on a wig block or styrofoam head.
This will insure that it is not being crushed or flattened in any way.
It will hold a natural head shape and preseve the style best. We also use
a clamp that can attach to a table top or shelf, this holds the wig block in
place for styling or storage.
The rule of thumb would the the shorter, the lace the shorter the life span of
the wig, Stage lace fronts are specifically designed for stage performances and
stage lighting, the magic of the lace is that it simply disappears under these
conditions and well taken care of will give you years of service. Of course
when you receive your wig and you find that the lace is too long lets say
touching your eyebrow, then of course we recommend trimming it slightly but cut
on the curve as you do not want to disrupt the cross tension which ensures a
proper fit.
Not unless you are
styling it and when you do this be careful to avoid the lace front and remember
only use very small dressmaker pins so as not to damage the wig.
Not really, the delicate nature of the lace is what makes it invisible.
Think of it as a fine spider web that only becomes visible when one would
spray water on it. The cleaner the lace; the more invisible it is.
Clean lace is important to the look of the wig as stated above so keeping it
tidy is essential. This is done with gauze pads and alcohol. Lay
the wig on its back off the block, place the gauze pad behind the lace and
taking another gauze pad dab gently at the lace changing the pad underneath the
lace as it becomes soiled from the makeup residue. Always use gauze not cotton
pads as they will leave behind bits of fuzz.
With a gentle touch this wig will maintain its style for quite a while
depending on your use and the style that you have. If you want to spray
it use a light non-aerosol spray like Rave. Try and avoid heavy laquer based
sprays as they will leave residue and weigh the wig down. We can wash set and
restyle your wig when you think its necessary for a $ 65 styling fee.
If you have a synthetic wig this is an emphatic NO. Using heat on
synthetic hair will damage it severely. If you have a human hair wig, you can
use light heat for gentle styling and maintenance.
If you wear a wig cap under your wig in order to contain your hair or attach your wig more securely, then you will want to keep it clean. Since the wig doesnąt really touch your head and the cap does; you can keep things fresh by cleaning the wig cap with a drop of soap or shampoo and cold water. Just squish it around by hand and hang out to dry overnight.
