When a hair piece is attached on your head, it does not mean that you cannot take a bath. Shampooing with it is as important as you would shampoo your natural hair. The only difference is you must do it with proper care. Otherwise, you might damage your existing hair, the adhesives under it and even the hair piece itself. Here are the guidelines on how to maintain the hair replacement system on your head.
• When taking a bath, you must first wet your hair. Then put the shampoo on your palm, not directly on your head.
• Lather the natural hair first then eventually the hairpiece. Do not rub the hairpiece. Instead just pat the shampoo into it and slowly take out the tangles.
• When rinsing, do it in a way that the water runs down in one direction. This is to avoid tangles when water is splash to different directions.
Eventually, the hair piece needs to be removed after 4-6 weeks from semi-permanent adhesives. Cleaning it may differ with various hair replacement systems according to the base material. However, generally it should be removed by the hair specialist. Then the cleaning process with the hair piece begins by soaking it in water to get the adhesive residues. After which, it should be washed with detergent soap and the hair with shampoo. Before it can be used, it should be totally dried first. This is the reason why you need to have two hairpieces so that while the other one is being cleaned, you will have something to wear
