Kanekalon Excelle Care
- Take special care with lace front wigs and hairpieces. The lace is delicate and should not be tugged or pulled.
- Sudden bursts of heat, such as opening an oven door, may damage heat-friendly synthetic fiber.
- We do not recommend sleeping, showering, or swimming while wearing.
- For longer styles, comb through nape area often using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
- Hair color cannot be used on synthetic fiber.
- Add 1 tbsp of HairUWear CLEANSE to a washbasin of cool water. Caution: Hot water will damage synthetic fiber.
- Soak wig or hairpiece in washbasin for 3-5 minutes. Do not scrunch or agitate. Caution: Soaking longer than 5 minutes can damage the wig or hairpiece.
- Rinse under cool running water until the water runs clear. Use a clean, colorfast towel to gently press out excess water. Do not twist or wring.
- Apply a light mist of HairUWear RESTORE and comb through using a wide-tooth comb starting at the ends. Caution: Do not apply RESTORE directly to hand-tied areas as this may loosen the knots and cause shedding.
- For wavy/curly styles, be careful not to overstretch or pull on the fiber.
- The damp wig can then be placed on a HairUWear Wig Stand to dry. Hairpieces can be clipped on a hanger to dry, however hand-tied hairpieces should instead dry flat on a colorfast towel to prevent any damage to the delicate construction. Caution: Do not dry wig on a solid form or mannequin head to avoid overstretching the cap.
- Shake to release fiber. Style with your fingers to achieve the desired look.
- HairUWear offers a variety of styling brushes and combs specially designed for synthetic wigs and hairpieces.
- Kanekalon Excelle fiber can be curled, waved, flat-ironed or blown dry to achieve a different texture. Once heat-styled, the wig or hairpiece will keep the new texture even after washing.
- Kanekalon Excelle fiber can withstand a low-medium heat setting up to 350°F/180°C. Caution: Fiber will be damaged if the heat setting is too high. Do not heat-style while wearing as heat-friendly synthetic fiber will get very hot.
- To straighten: take a 1-inch section and run a flat iron from the base to the ends. Allow to cool.
- To curl: wrap a 1-inch section around a curling iron and hold for 10 seconds. Carefully slide the iron out and hold the curl shape with a hairpin or clip until completely cool to set the curl.
- HairUWear offers medium hold, strong hold and anti-frizz styling sprays specially formulated for synthetic fiber.
- For wavy/curly styles, refresh the texture as needed by spritzing with a 50/50 mix of water and RESTORE while finger-styling. A small amount of CURL spray may be used when styling. Do not overuse.
- After each wearing, gently comb through the wig or hairpiece using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
- To avoid unwanted kinks or crimps, store on a HairUWear Wig Stand (or clip hairpiece on a hanger).
- To maintain wavy/curly textures, style only when the hair is completely dry using only your fingers. Do not comb or brush dry hair as this can loosen the texture.
- After extended wear, matting and frizzing can occur. To detangle and recondition: wash as recommended, spray with HairUWear RESTORE, then comb through with a wide-tooth comb starting at the ends.
