The WigLab care system

When washing is appropriate for your exact wig, follow its manufacturer’s method. WIGLAB CLEANSE — Synthetic Wig Shampoo. WIGLAB CONTROL — Synthetic Wig Post-Wash Spray. After washing, apply CONTROL lightly to damp synthetic lengths and ends only. Keep CONTROL off roots, lace, knots, monofilament, hand-tied areas, the cap, clips, straps, adhesive areas, and scalp. CONTROL is not a conditioner, leave-in, repair treatment, or scalp product.
