HAIR SYSTEM CARE & MAINTENANCE: At this time, you have received your unit and you’re wondering what’s the best way to maintain it, here’s how:
1): Before or even laying around, wrap your head with Du-rag, stocking cap, or scarf. Be careful pulling it off. Make sure to hold down unit and/or lift stocking cap slowly to avoid lifting unit. A silk pillow case is also a great investment if your want to lay your head down relaxing.
2: Don’t brush the unit but lightly brush the sides and back of your (own) hair with a soft or medium bristle brush, only use the corners to make sure the unit still blends with your hair. Excessive brushing may cause shedding. Only brush when really needed. For units with more hair, you can use a curl sponge to twist or curl the hair on top.
3: Try to avoid getting unit wet. Use Shower cap in the shower or swim cap for pools, beach, etc. Be careful pulling caps off.
4: If unit lifts or loosens up, DONT PANIC. Use a Q-tip to clean area with alcohol lightly. Next apply a small amount of adhesive/glue with a small makeup brush (not too much to avoid having to seep through unit), wait about 3 minutes and light reattach unit to area, using a blow dryer briefly to ensure adhesive/glue dries and unit is affixed.
5: If your unit begins to itch or feel dry you can use an anti-itch spray or eczema spray such as MetaDerm Scalp and Body Care Natural Eczema, Seborrhea Soothing Spray. Only Spray a small amount then wrap your scarf.
6: If you sweat a lot and you are active (hiking, gym, etc) try to use a scalp anti perspirant. (PHL No Sweat Anti Perspirant) and a stocking cap if possible for your activities.
7: If you want to wear a hat or cap, always use a stocking cap underneath to avoid moving or loosening the unit. Light pomade or moisture can be used on own hair occasionally but not too often, to avoid loosening unit.
8: You can add hair fibers with a small eyebrow brush and apply more holding spray to ensure the placement of the fibers.
9: Your unit does not need to be brushed much throughout the day. You can brush the size with a light bristle brush in the back to make sure it blends.
