The dry air, harsh winds, and indoor heating can all take a toll, leaving your topper looking dull, dry, and prone to breakage. With a little extra TLC, you can keep your topper looking its best all season long.
Your Winter Topper Care Guide
1. Hydration is Key
Deep Condition Regularly: Amp up your deep conditioning routine to at least once a week, using a product specifically designed for human hair. This will replenish lost moisture and keep the hair soft and manageable.
Leave-in Conditioner is Your Friend: After washing and conditioning, apply a lightweight leave-in conditioner to help lock in moisture and combat static.
Use a Humidifier: Consider using a humidifier in your home to add moisture back into the air, benefiting both your topper and your skin!
2. Gentle Handling and Styling:
Detangle with Care: Use a wide-tooth comb or a specialized wig brush to gently detangle your topper, starting from the ends and working your way up. Do this before washing.
Minimize Heat Styling: Excessive heat can further dry out your topper. Try to limit heat styling and always use a heat protectant spray when you do.
Air Drying is Best: Whenever possible, let your topper air dry on a wig stand. This is the gentlest way to dry it and prevent damage.
3. Protection from the Elements:
Cover Up: When heading outdoors, consider wearing a silk or satin-lined hat or a smooth scarf to minimize friction and protect your topper from the elements.
Store Properly: When not in use, store your topper on a wig stand to maintain its shape and prevent tangling.
4. Wash Less Frequently:
In the winter, you can likely wash the topper less often. When you wash the topper, use lukewarm water.
