The maintenance requirements for standard cap and capless BOB Wig differ slightly due to their construction and materials. Here’s a detailed guide on how to care for each type of BOB Wig:
Standard Cap BOB Wig Maintenance
Daily Care:
Gentle Detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb or BOB Wig brush to gently detangle the BOB Wig after each use. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid damaging the fibers.
Store Properly: Place the BOB Wig on a BOB Wig stand or mannequin head to maintain its shape and prevent tangles.
Weekly Care:
Washing: Wash the BOB Wig every 5-8 wears using cool water and a gentle, BOB Wig-friendly shampoo. Avoid using hot water as it can damage the fibers.
Conditioning: Apply a conditioner specifically designed for BOB Wigs. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a towel. Avoid wringing the BOB Wig as it can cause shedding.
Air Dry: Let the BOB Wig air dry on a BOB Wig stand. Avoid using high heat from a blow dryer.
Monthly Care:
Deep Cleaning: Perform a deeper cleaning session to remove any buildup. This can include a longer soak in cool water with gentle shampoo.
Check the Cap: Inspect the cap for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the inside of the cap with a damp cloth to remove sweat and buildup.
Additional Tips:
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use sulfate-free products to prevent stripping the BOB Wig’s fibers of moisture.
Limit Heat Styling: Minimize the use of heat tools to preserve the BOB Wig’s quality. If necessary, use a heat protectant spray.
