Step 2: Pre-Wash Setup
Fill a sink or basin with cold to lukewarm water and add a small amount of Moxi Loxi Pure Shampoo.
Step 3: Submerge
Gently submerge the wig in the water, avoiding twisting or wringing to prevent fiber damage. Be extra gentle with the lace front.
Step 4: Shampoo
Use your fingers to gently distribute the shampoo, being cautious not to tangle the hair. For the cap/base, lightly press the shampoo through without scrubbing.
Step 5: Rinse
Rinse the wig in cold or lukewarm water until the shampoo is completely removed.
Step 6: Condition
Apply a generous amount of conditioner, focusing on the mid-shaft to ends. Avoid the wig cap/base. Let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing.
Step 7: Rinse Again
Thoroughly rinse the wig in cold or lukewarm water.
Step 8: Towel Dry
Gently pat the wig dry with a towel. Do not wring or twist.
Step 9: Detangle
Gently comb with a wide-tooth comb or brush with a detangling brush. Place the wig on a styling head (on a stand), part the hair as desired, and secure with T-pins if needed. Make sure the lace, hair, and cap are not tucked under.
Step 10: Air Dry
Place the wig on a styling stand and allow it to air dry completely or approximately 70% depending on the desired style. For curly textures, scrunch and use recommended products.
Step 11: Final Styling
Once dry, spray in Luster Mist and style your wig as you wish using a wide-tooth comb for best results.
