Why Professional Wig Washing is a Must

Maintaining the quality and longevity of your wig is essential, and professional wig washing is a must to achieve this. Washing your wig at home can take practice; if not done correctly, it can lead to damage, tangling, and shedding. Whilst practice makes perfect, if you'd rather leave it to the professionals, Our  wig washing services at Mandeville London use specialised equipment and techniques to gently clean and condition your wig, ensuring it looks its best. We effectively remove dirt, oil, and product buildup that can weigh your wig down and cause it to look dull. Trust our experts to keep your wig in pristine condition, ready for any festive occasion.

Wig Types and Their Washing Needs

Different types of wigs have unique washing needs, and understanding these is crucial for maintaining their condition. Synthetic wigs, for instance, require a gentle cleaning process to prevent damage to the fibers. On the other hand, human hair wigs such those created by us, can be washed on a block and styled just like your own hair. Lace-front wigs demand a more delicate cleaning process compared to glueless, capless, and headband wigs. At Mandeville London, we tailor our washing techniques to suit the specific needs of your Mandeville wig, ensuring it remains in top-notch condition.

The Importance of Proper Wig Cap Care

Proper wig cap care is vital for maintaining the comfort and security of your wig. A well-fitting wig cap can prevent irritation and discomfort, while a poorly fitting cap can cause friction and lead to hair loss. To ensure your wig cap remains in good condition, it’s essential to clean and condition it regularly using a mild shampoo and make sure to dry the foundation after washing, to prevent any water sitting on the block as the wig air dries. At Mandeville London, we provide expert advice on maintaining your wig cap, ensuring your wig feels as good as it looks.

Caring for Your Own Hair Underneath Your Wig

Caring for your own hair underneath your wig is crucial for maintaining healthy hair and preventing damage. Regularly wash and condition your natural hair using a mild shampoo and conditioner to keep it clean and nourished. Avoid using heat styling tools or harsh chemicals, as these can damage your hair and cause it to become brittle. Using a wig cap liner or scalp protector can also help prevent irritation and discomfort. At Mandeville London, we offer tips and products to help you care for your own hair while enjoying the beauty and convenience of wearing a wig.

Steps for Creating Festive Wig Styles

Step 1: Preparing the Hair with Velcro Rollers

  1. Use Velcro rollers for a heat-free method to add body and curls.
  2. Choose the correct roller size:
    1. Match the size of the roller to the section of hair you’re working with.
    2. Larger rollers create bigger curls, while smaller rollers create tighter curls.
  3. Section the hair:
    1. Roll the front sections back.
    2. Roll the side sections backward.
    3. Roll the remaining hair downwards.
  4. Comb each section to ensure it’s smooth and knot-free.
    1. Lightly spray the section with a blow-dry or water spray (not too wet as it takes longer to dry).
    2. Roll the section of hair onto the roller and secure. Velcro rollers will stay in place without pins.
    3. Leave the rollers in for a few hours or overnight if the hair is damp.
    4. Once set, carefully remove the rollers one by one, letting the curls fall naturally.

Look 1: Creating a Full Updo with the Knotting Technique

  1. Begin by dividing the hair into a top and bottom section.
  2. Create a low ponytail with the bottom section to secure the natural hair flat beneath the wig cap. This helps achieve a smooth surface when worn under a wig.
  3. Gather the top section into a ponytail using a gentle, non-damaging hairband (e.g., dolly band or covered band). Avoid elastic bands that can damage the hair.
  4. Make a small gap in the ponytail just above the hairband.
  5. Pull the ponytail through the gap to create a twist. This can serve as a half-up style if desired.
  6. To create a full updo:
    1. Take small sections of hair from the remaining loose hair
    2. Pull each section through the gap in the ponytail, alternating sides.
    3. Repeat until most of the hair is gathered into the updo.
  7. Finish the updo by plaiting or twisting any remaining loose hair and tucking it underneath the main section.
  8. Secure with a grip or pin.

Look 2: Styling for a Half-Up, Half-Down Look

  1. Remove the Velcro rollers and run your fingers through the curls to loosen them.
  2. Section off the top half of the hair:
    1. Take a rough section of hair on top of the head for your half ponytail (no precise measurements needed).
    2. Leave some strands at the front to frame the face.
  3. Split the top section into two parts and tie them into a loose knot, similar to tying shoelaces.
  4. Add more hair to each side of the knot and tie another knot.
  5. Repeat this process as desired to build texture and dimension at the back.
  6. Secure the knots with a small baby band or discreet grip.

Adding Finishing Touches

  1. Apply heat protection spray to avoid damaging the hair.
  2. Use straightening irons or curling tongs to add soft waves or curls to the front strands for a polished look.
  3. Accessorise:
    1. Add festive clips, bows, or decorative pins for a holiday flair.
  4. Spray lightly with a holding spray to maintain the style throughout the day or evening.

Final Look, Just Like Your Own Hair

  1. Ensure the style hides the base of the wig for a seamless finish.
  2. Check for balance and adjust the curls or updo as needed.
  3. Enjoy your festive look, perfect for holiday parties or gatherings.

Find Out What Our Customers Think About Their Consultations:

I just wish I had found this place sooner. I lost all my hair very rapidly and with no history of any hair loss and was left utterly devastated. I searched desperately for any solutions and wasted a lot of money on supposed miracle hair replacement products that were bulky and unrealistic and very uncomfortable to wear. I recently picked up my made to measure wig from Mandeville and while it is not cheap, I have been blown away. Mandeville have a unique understanding of how natural hair hangs, moves and behaves and as such they create products that are in my opinion the very pinnacle of what is achievable. My hair is secure, comfortable and natural. I can feel the breeze against my scalp and tie it back or tuck it behind my ears. For the first time I felt optimism and hope that there is a solution for me. The unique base is invisible and it's been strange looking in the mirror and seeing myself exactly as I was. The team are sympathetic and take enormous pride in what they do. They talk to you about density as well as colour to ensure the finished product is exactly what you want. I feel I would have avoided much of the mental anguish I experienced had I known Mandeville existed early on. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in my position. As I friend of mine commented, "you look just like you but on a really good hair day".
