Scalp Skin Based Wig

Care Instructions for Scalp Skin Based Wig (PU Base Wig)

A scalp skin based wig (PU wig) needs gentle care because the polyurethane base is more delicate and less breathable than lace. Proper maintenance helps preserve the natural scalp effect, hair quality, and durability.

Daily care
Gently detangle before and after wearing using a wide-tooth comb or wig brush.
Start from the ends and work upward slowly to avoid pulling on the PU base.
Avoid excessive brushing near the scalp area, especially in injection hair systems.
Finger-combing is recommended for reducing stress on the base.

Washing
Wash after 8–12 wears or when product buildup appears.
Use lukewarm water and a sulfate-free, mild shampoo.
Gently wash in a downward motion—do not rub, scrub, or twist the base.
Apply conditioner only on mid-lengths to ends; avoid the PU base completely.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all residue.

Drying
Pat gently with a soft towel to remove excess water (do not wring).
Air dry on a wig stand or mannequin head to maintain shape.
Avoid direct sunlight or high heat during drying.
Do not use high-heat blow drying on the PU base.

Styling
Human hair PU wigs can be straightened, curled, or blow-dried.
Keep heat tools below 180–200°C (356–392°F).
Avoid applying heat directly on the PU scalp base.
Use lightweight styling products to prevent buildup.
Adhesive & attachment care (if used)
If using glue or tape, remove gently using wig-safe adhesive remover.
Clean adhesive residue regularly to avoid damage to the PU layer.
Do not force removal of glued areas—this can tear the base.
For glueless wear, ensure clips and straps are secure and not overstretched.

Storage
Store on a wig stand or mannequin head to maintain shape.
Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and humidity.
Use a satin bag or protective box when not in use.
Always detangle before storing to prevent matting.

Maintenance tips
Do not sleep, swim, or shower while wearing the wig unless designed for it.
Avoid alcohol-based sprays or heavy oils near the PU base.
Clean clips, straps, and adhesive areas regularly.
Handle the wig gently during removal to extend base life.
Keep away from excessive heat or friction to prevent PU damage.
