How to Maintain Your MellowDiamond Wig Like a Pro: Care Tips for Long-Lasting Glam

A stunning wig from MellowDiamond is more than just a hairpiece—it’s an investment in your beauty, confidence, and style. Whether you’re rocking one of our textured hybrid units or a sleek glueless bob, proper wig care is the secret to long-lasting glam.

If you want your wig to stay flawless wear after wear, here’s your ultimate guide to maintaining your MellowDiamond unit like a total pro.

1. Wash Your Wig the Right Way

Washing your wig helps preserve its softness, bounce, and shine. Since all MellowDiamond wigs are 100% virgin or raw human hair, they require gentle, sulfate-free care—just like your natural hair.

🧴 How to Wash:

• Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb before wetting.
• Use lukewarm water and sulfate-free shampoo.
• Massage gently—do NOT rub or twist the hair.
• Follow with a moisturizing conditioner or deep treatment mask.
• Rinse thoroughly and blot dry with a microfiber towel.
• Air-dry on a wig stand or mannequin head to preserve shape.

• Pro Tip: Avoid washing too often. Every 2–4 weeks is ideal, depending on how often you wear it.

2. Keep Your Wig Moisturized

• Hydration is key to maintaining softness, especially for curly, coily, or kinky textures.
• 💧 Recommended:
• Use a leave-in conditioner or lightweight oil (like argan or jojoba).
• Avoid heavy styling creams unless you're restyling curls or coils.
• For curly units, use a curl refresher spray or diluted conditioner in a spray bottle.

• Avoid product buildup—always wash it out before reapplying.

3. Store It Properly

• Your wig deserves VIP treatment even when it’s not on your head.
• 🧳 Storage Tips:
• Place on a satin wig stand or mannequin head to keep its shape.
• Cover with a satin or silk scarf to protect from dust and friction.
• Store in a cool, dry place—away from direct sunlight or heat.

• Never throw your wig in a drawer or bag. Flattened lace and tangled strands? Not worth it.

4. Minimize Heat Usage

• Yes, it’s human hair—but constant heat can weaken the strands, just like your natural hair.
• 🔥 If styling:
• Always use a heat protectant spray.
• Keep your tools at low to medium heat—under 350°F for curls, 300°F for straightening.
• Avoid heat entirely on the hybrid edges (4A–4C hairline) to maintain texture and durability.

5. Sleep Smart

• Wearing your wig to bed? We recommend removing it when possible. If you must sleep in it:
• Tie it in a loose ponytail or braid.
• Sleep on a satin pillowcase or wear a satin bonnet.
• NEVER sleep on wet hair—it causes tangling and matting.

6. Avoid Friction, Frizz & Frump

• Friction can ruin the cuticle layer of even the best human hair wigs.
• 🚫 Watch out for:
• Collars, scarves, and rough fabrics that rub the nape.
• Hats that flatten curls or disrupt bang styles.
• Overbrushing textured hair—opt for finger detangling instead.

Conclusion

Caring for your MellowDiamond wig doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right routine, your unit can stay soft, styled, and stunning for months—even years. A little love goes a long way, especially when it’s custom-made just for you.

So, treat your crown like the treasure it is—and it’ll keep you glowing every step of the way.
