Your Complete NuHaire Care Guide - From Our Experts to You

Your NuHaire investment deserves the best care to maintain its beauty, longevity, and natural appearance. Follow this comprehensive guide to keep your wigs and extensions looking flawless for months to come.

🛡️ Essential Products for Long-Lasting Beauty

Use Only Sulfate & Paraben-Free Products: Ordinary shampoos contain harsh chemicals that can permanently damage your human hair. Invest in gentle, wig-specific products to preserve the hair's natural oils and texture.

Protect While You Sleep: A silk or satin pillowcase reduces friction and prevents tangling, keeping your hair smooth and manageable.

What to Avoid: Regular drugstore shampoos, products with alcohol, and anything containing sulfates or parabens.

📋 Step-by-Step Washing Guide

Before You Begin: Pre-Wash Preparation

  1. Detangle First: Using a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush, gently work through any knots starting from the tips and working toward the base. Never brush wet hair!
  2. Secure the Cap: Hold the wig by the cap, not the hair, to prevent stretching.

The Washing Process

  1. Rinse with Cool Water: Use lukewarm to cool water - hot water can damage the hair cuticles
  2. Apply Sulfate-Free Shampoo: Focus on the hair strands, avoiding the cap area. Gently work the shampoo through without rubbing or scrubbing
  3. Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all shampoo is removed to prevent buildup
  4. Condition Carefully: Apply conditioner from mid-length to ends, avoiding the roots and cap
  5. Final Rinse: Rinse with cool water to seal the hair cuticles and add shine

⏰ Washing Schedule for Maximum Longevity

Frequency: Wash only after 10-15 wears for optimal maintenance

Why Less is More: Over-washing strips natural oils and reduces the lifespan of your hair

Pro Tip: Rotate between multiple wigs to extend the life of each piece while one is being washed and styled

💨 Drying & Styling Best Practices

Proper Drying Technique

  • Gently Pat Dry: Use a microfiber towel to absorb excess water - never wring or twist
