Hey everyone,

After five years of patches my hair started falling out a lot more recently and this morning I got a real hair wig. It is a trendco, 'Gem' one.

My stylist said to use a colour protecting shampoo but not a very heavy conditioner. I was wondering if anyone has any reccommendations?

Here's a photo with it on:

I rarely ever use shampoo actually. It seems to keep the hair from drying out so quickly, and i always use a very moisturizing conditioner, usually a hair mask of some kind. Then I use a good leave in conditioner, and top it off with a leave in oil treatment lol. Condition condition condition! We don't have the luxury of natural oils from our scalp, so we must use the next best thing :)

First, your new hair looks beautiful! Very nice!

I have always used Goldwell Kerasilk shampoo and conditioner, and my human hair pieces look great for years. Just be careful to keep the conditioner away from the base, because that could cause your piece to experience hairloss.

I also use Moroccan Oil to keep the hair from drying out in between shampoos. I have in the past also used products as cheap and simple as V05 hair cream and gotten good results. Use sparingly -- everything in moderation. Good luck!

Wen cleansing conditioner. It does not lather. My wig lady recommended it. Only use cool water. Wet your wig while holding it up like it is on your head. Use the Wen. Comb it through - gently with a very wide tooth comb. Rinse. Repeat. Always keep the wig held up like it would be if it were on your head to avoid tangles. Wrap in a towel and blot. Place on wig block. Comb gently and let air dry if you can. I have done this to my wigs for over a year and it works very well so far..
