Care & Maintenance for Cyberhair & Created Fibers
Most synthetic fibers and all Cyberhair products will have to be cleansed and re-moisturized every three to four days (add - if worn daily). Cyberhair has 10 times more moisture content than any other synthetic fiber on the market, and needs to be cared for with that in mind.
Cyberhair is an ultra-lightweight created hair fiber that looks and feels like human hair, but is more durable, holds color, tolerates heat, and loves water. Like human hair and other synthetic fibers, it requires regular maintenance.
Instructing your client on the best way to care for these fibers will ensure their hair pieces & wigs last as long as they’re supposed to and continue to look fresh day after day.
When sending your client home with their Akanu wig or after their attachment appointment, you should provide them with the proper maintenance procedures that are explained in the hair care instructions delivered to you with the product.
If you are missing them, we have provided you with an infographic below that you can save and/or print to give out!
