CHIQUEL SYNTHETIC HAIR STYLING TECHNIQUES AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE

•bun application:
Put your hair in either a ponytail or bun. If your hair is long, wrap it around your ponytail and create a small bun. Secure it with bobby pins. Then open the elastic hairpiece and wrap it over your ponytail or bun.

• clean:
Synthetic hair fiber should be washed as infrequently as possible or when you notice that the fiber appears dull. If you are wearing the hairpiece all day everyday, we recommend a time frame of 3-5 weeks before each wash. You do not need to wash the synthetic hair everyday to keep consistent results.

Products needed: Synthetic Shampoo, Synthetic Conditioner, Hair Comb, Towel

Step 1. Before shampooing, gently remove any tangles or teasing with your fingers or comb. Do not brush. Start from the tips of the hair and work your way up.

Step 2. Place your hairpiece in a upright direction with the ends downwards. Gently add synthetic shampoo to the hair. Use cool, never hot water.

Step 3. When rinsing the hair allow the water to flow from the roots to the ends (top to bottom). Do not soak the hair as this may cause matting and tangles.

Step 4. Rinse thoroughly in cool water.

Step 5. Gently with a towel dab to remove excess water. Do not squeeze, rub or twist.

Step 6. While still wet, spray with a leave in conditioner that is specifically formulated for synthetic hair goods.

Step 7. Dry on a towel at room temperature. This will usually take overnight for the hairpiece to be completely dry.

• styling:
Style with fingers or pick comb. Do not use a blow dryer or curling iron on synthetic hair. You may also use the synthetic styling product that are available.

With heat friendly synthetic fiber, Do not use a heating tool that exceeds 180 degrees. Blow drying is not recommended.

*Please note that it is not necessary to set your synthetic hair after washing as the synthetic fiber is set upon making of the piece.

• storage:
It is best to store the synthetic hair in it’s original package that it has been sent to you. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag or container.

If the hairpiece is curly/wavy and you want to maintain the curl, you can either twist the hair with your hands and spray leave in conditioner or you can set your hair in rollers (not hot rollers, velcro ones are ideal). This should be done before the hairpiece is dried.

We do not recommend to sleep or swim while wearing the synthetic hair. Synthetic pieces cannot be coloured.
