ANNABELLE'S WIGS 

CARE & MAINTENANCE

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

 Storing your wig

It is very important, if you want your synthetic hair to last a long time, that you make sure it is stored well. We suggest that either you keep it on a wig stand or packed in the mesh and bag that it was originally sent in. Also, after wearing your hair, it is very important that you gently comb it out with a wide-toothed comb before storing it - anything you can do to avoid it tangling will help prolong its life. We recommend spraying with a conditioning spray after combing, spray the hair ends and leave on a stand to dry.

We recommended these hair pieces and wigs for occasional but not daily wear as synthetic hair has a much shorter lifespan than human hair.

Always, always brush the hair gently after wearing to make sure that it is not matted. We recommend spraying with Fabrique Conditioning Spray before and after wearing.

Please do not swim or go into water wearing any of the Annabelle’s Wigs pieces - this will cause damage and the piece may be ruined.

We recommend that you do not sleep in any of these pieces as this will cause matting and will dramatically reduce the lifespan. 

The excessive use of heated appliances on any of these pieces will dramatically reduce their lifespan and the quality of the hair. Only use heated appliances of up to 120 Celsius and always apply a good quality heat protection product such as Rose Gold Heat Protector. Colour, bleach, toner or any other chemical process (including a perm) should not be applied to any of these pieces from Annabelle’s Wigs.

Washing Synthetic Hair Products from Anabelle’s Wigs

When washing and shampooing your hair extensions, wig or hair piece, always hold from the top and always keep the hair straight (never scrunching it or allowing it to become matted).

Step 1: Before washing your hairpiece, it is advisable to gently brush out the tangles from ends to roots.

Step 2: Then, in a sink or basin, mix tepid water (25 degrees) with a sulphate freeShampoo and immerse the piece. Gently swirl and let soak for 2 minutes.

Step 3: Rinse the piece in cold water until all of the shampoo is removed.

Step 4: Refill the basin with tepid water and a dash of fabric conditioner and allow the piece to soak for 10 minutes.

Step 5: After that, rinse the conditioner out with cold water.

Step 6: Wrap your wig in a towel and gently pat out excess water.Do not twist or brush the hair while wet.

Step 7: For a wig or half wig, gently fluff it up whilst it is still a bit damp and allow it to air dry on a wig stand.

 

 

BEAUTY WORKS

CARE & MAINTENANCE

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Lifestyle:
  • Avoid salt water and chlorine water as it is very drying and can discolour hair extensions.
  • Do not swim or go into water with these hair extensions as this will cause damage and they may become matted and ruined
  • Wear a hat in the sun as hair extensions can be discoloured in the sun and heat.

We cannot accept any responsibility for damage is caused by the addition of colour, bleach, toner or if any other chemical process (including a perm) to the hair.

Styling:
  • Use a soft bristle brush to brush the hair extensions starting from the ends, mid-length and then the root area. Be careful when brushing this area.
  • Try to minimise the use of heated tools such as hair dryers, straighteners and curling tongs - when using this equipment remember to always avoid the root/bond area.
  • Beauty Works will not be held responsible for any hair that has been heat damaged by the customer so always use a heat protector.
  • Avoid using styling products that contain wax, oil, silicone and excessive alcohol around the root area as the ingredients may cause the bonds to disintegrate.
  • At bedtime, braid weaved in hair into two side braids to prevent tangling and matting at the root area.
  • Don’t allow the hair extensions to dry out - only hair growing from a scalp receives lubrication from the scalp oils. So, spray regularly with a good quality Leave-In Conditioner Spray. You can also apply a little Rose Gold Heat Protector or Mashooq Oil daily to the hair and always before applying any heated hair appliance to the hair.

 

Shampooing and Conditioning:
  • Brush all tangles out before shampooing your hair extensions. We recommend a salon grade, sulphate free Shampoo and Conditioner.
  • Lather the shampoo on your hands before applying it to your hair and gently run the lather through to the ends. There is no need to scrub the hair extensions excessively as this will cause matting.
  • Even the best hair needs to be well nourished, so apply the conditioner and let it sit on and soak into your hair extensions.
  • Thoroughly rinse out all products, paying particular attention to the root area.
  • Hair is at its most vulnerable when wet, so remember to dry your hair on a low heat straight after it has been shampooed and conditioned.
  • Use a wide-tooth comb to comb out any tangles or knots remembering to avoid the root/bonded area.
  • Use a deep treatment once a month to keep hair extensions soft and shiny.
  • Use a gentle clarifying shampoo every 2 to 3 weeks to clear product build up. Salon grade brands are recommended.

Always use warm (never hot) water.

 

You can use a high quality Dry shampoo from time to time instead of washing with water.

     

    EASILOCKS

    CARE & MAINTENANCE

    CARE INSTRUCTIONS

    • Always cover the hair when in direct sunlight for long periods of time.
    • Easilocks hair pieces from the Celebrity range can be curled using heated hair appliances up to 200 degrees Celsius.
    • Don’t use any hot tools on your Easilocks WITHOUT using Easilocks Rose Gold Heat Protector. Comb through your hair to ensure the product is evenly distributed throughout and everywhere is protected.
    • ALWAYS, ALWAYS use Easilocks heat protection oil Rose Gold Heat Protector to protect the hair from blow drying, straightening etc. Use 1 pump and apply to the mid length and ends when damp before blow drying, and then once again when dry before using any further heat such as straighteners, heated rollers etc. Comb through the hair to ensure everywhere is protected!
    • Don’t allow bronzers/fake tans/sun creams or products with tint in them to make contact with your hair extensions if blonde especially if in the sun as you may experience slight colour change.
    • Do not sleep in, swim in or go into water wearing any Easilocks hair pieces or extensions.
    • Colour, bleach, toner or any other chemical process (including a perm) should not be applied to any of these hair pieces from Easilocks.

    STRAIGHTENING

    • Protect the hair with Rose Gold Heat Protector.
    • Gather a small section of the hair, comb through and, using straightening irons on a temperature no higher than 200 degrees Celsius, straighten as normal.

    CURLING

    • Protect the hair with Rose Gold Heat Protector.
    • For best results use large straightening irons or heated rollers with a temperature no higher than 200 degrees Celsius.
    • Curl hair as normal, however once the section of hair is curled you need to hold the shape by pinning or holding in the palm of your hand while it is still hot and allow to cool. This then sets the hair in its new wavy shape and increases the hold!

    WASHING & CONDITIONING INSTRUCTIONS

    Before you wash your hair piece or hair extension, give the hair a thorough but gentle brush to remove any knots or tangles (not the Head Band Braid or the Spotlight Bun).

    It is important that you shampoo your hair with Easilocks silicone and sulphate free Shampoo and apply Easilocks Conditioner.

    When shampooing your hair work vertically (not horizontally or in a circular motion).

    Dilute some Easilocks Shampoo in some warm (never hot) water in a washbasin. Very gently wash the hair in this water in gentle vertical motions only! Do not scrunch the hair.

    Next, gently rinse the hair with warm water (never hot water), keeping it straight and never allowing the hair to tangle or to soak in the water. Do not scrunch the hair. Towel dry gently.

    To condition, apply Easilocks Conditioner. Keeping the hair straight, comb the conditioner through the hair with a wide tooth comb from top to bottom. Leave on the conditioner for 3-5 minutes and then rinse out with warm water (never hot water).

    Blot the hair gently with a towel (but do not rub) to remove excess water and allow to air dry. You can also blow dry carefully on a medium heat setting.

    When cool, spray lightly with Fabrique Conditioning Spray.

    You can use a high quality Dry shampoo from time to time instead of washing with water.

      • Brush carefully and then dry with a hair dryer.
      • Avoid "air drying" your extensions. Squeeze dry with a towel and then blow dry to finish.
      • Use a wide tooth comb to combat tangling.
      • Try not to back comb your hair too often. This can result in cuticle breakage that will result in dryness and matting.
      • If you sleep wearing your hair extensions, Halo recommend that you braid them or put them in a loose ponytail first to minimise tangling. This should also be done if you are doing anything energetic that will cause the hair to tangle.

So, spray regularly with a good quality Leave-In Conditioner Spray. You can also apply a little Rose Gold Heat Protector or Mashooq Oil daily to the hair and always before applying any heated hair appliance to the hair.
      • Don't brush too harshly (Halo recommend a brush with soft bristles). Start at the ends of your hair and gently work your way up.
      • Try to use a high quality heat protective spray such as Rose Gold Heat Protector prior to using heat on your hair to keep your hair in great condition and avoid heating one spot for too long.
      • The excessive use of heated appliances on any of these pieces will dramatically reduce their lifespan and the quality of the hair. Only use heated appliances of up to 120 Celsius and always apply a good quality heat protection product such as Rose Gold Heat Protector.
