Care Guide

Proper care is the difference between hair that lasts 2–3 weeks and hair that lasts 12–24+ months. This guide shows you exactly how to maintain your human hair wigs, weaves/bundles, and closures/frontals purchased or rented from HairCity.

Designed specifically for Zimbabwe’s climate (heat, dust, travel, and busy lifestyles), these steps will help you keep your hair soft, tangle-free, natural-looking, and long-lasting.

Healthy hair starts with gentle care, proper washing, and smart daily habits.

Why Hair Care Matters

Human hair behaves just like your natural hair. Without moisture and protection, it can become dry, tangled, or brittle. Many “quality complaints” are actually care issues.

  • Better shine and softness
  • Less shedding and tangling
  • Longer lifespan (especially Vietnamese/Brazilian hair)
  • More natural appearance
  • Better value for money

Daily Care Routine (5 Minutes Only)

These simple habits prevent 90% of problems HairCity customers experience.

1. Detangle gently
Use a wide-tooth comb. Start from the ends and move upward. Never pull from the roots.

2. Add light moisture
Apply a small amount of serum or hair oil. Avoid heavy grease.

3. Protect at night
Wear a satin bonnet or scarf to reduce friction and tangles.

4. Avoid excess heat
Use heat protectant before straightening or curling.

How to Wash Your Wig or Bundles

Wash every 7–14 days (or when product buildup occurs). Over-washing dries the hair out.

  1. Detangle first
  2. Use lukewarm water (not hot)
  3. Apply sulphate-free shampoo gently downward
  4. Rinse and apply conditioner
  5. Air dry on a wig stand (avoid rough towel rubbing)
  6. Add light serum when dry

Always air dry. Heat drying causes dryness and frizz over time.
