How to maintain synthetic hair? extension/wigs?

Hi,

I've recent purchased some synthetic hair extensions (clip ons), however after one day of wear they've already gotten all tangled and a little frizzy. Are there any secrets to keeping them soft and frizz-less? I don't want it to become barbie hair-like :(

Thanks!

How to maintain synthetic hair? extension/wigs?

Hi, I copied and pasted this from an article I found about wig and extension care. You can purchase the products through Paula Young online. I also know that you shouldn't ever use any type of heating appliance on synthetic hair....you probably already know that. I hope that this information helps, good luck!.....................

The proper care of your hairpiece will keep it looking like new. Most women find it best to have a second hairpiece to use while allowing the proper time for cleaning and drying their first hairpiece.

Step 1: use a shampoo specifically formulated to clean wigs, such as Texturizing Cleanser for synthetic hair. In a sink or basin, mix a capful of wig shampoo in cool water and immerse your hairpiece. Let soak for a few minutes. Agitate gently and rinse in cool water until all shampoo is removed.

Step 2: Refill the sink or basin with clean, cool water and add a few drops of wig conditioner. Immerse hairpiece and agitate gently. DO NOT RINSE OUT CONDITIONER. Remove hairpiece and gently comb through any tangles. Blot dry in a towel and then gently shake.

Step 3: Allow your hairpiece to air dry on a wig stand or on top of a hairspray canister. Comb add-ons can be hung on a clothes line or hanger, with the combs locked together. DO NOT BRUSH OR STYLE THE HAIRPIECE UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY DRY.

Step 4: Once dry, you will notice that the original style of your hairpiece has come back.
