Q & A
Synthetic Hair
No Synthetic hair cannot be tinted or bleached
No. Intense heat (including hot water) must be avoided; e.g. no hairdryers, tongs or straightening irons.
Synthetic fibre wigs worn daily will need to be replaced on average every 3-4 months. Longer styles every 2-3 months
We do not recommend sleeping in a wig or hairpiece as this will reduce the lifespan by half.
It can be washed in cool water with products specifically made for synthetic fibres. Specific aftercare instructions will be given for each product purchased.
Before washing gently remove all tangles with a large, wide tooth comb. Fill a bowl with cool water and a small amount of synthetic wig shampoo, soak it in the water for a few minutes. Rinse and then apply synthetic wig conditioner, rinse thoroughly. Blot dry with a towel to absorb excess moisture and then place it on a stand or work head to dry naturally. We also recommend regularly applying a leave in moisturising spray in between washing, this will help extend its life.
The majority of our ready to wear wigs are adjustable in size. Many can be secured with mono tape or with snap lock clips. If you have hair underneath, hair grips can be used to secure it in place.
Human Hair
Human hair wigs should be washed using only products recommended by your consultant. They can be blow dried using a medium heat. Excessive heat will considerably shorten the lifespan of real hair. Please refer to the washing instructions for step by step aftercare.
They can be coloured darker but not lighter. We do not recommend using home dyes at any time. Colouring a wig or hairpiece is a very specialised skill, therefore always refer to your consultant at Daniel Galvin before undertaking any colour change.
We can provide a full aftercare service which includes cutting, blow drying, colouring, deep conditioning and dressing the hair for events such as weddings.
A bespoke wig can take from 3-5 months to make. Every custom piece is hand knotted and made to the highest quality possible.
Before washing gently remove all tangles with a large, wide tooth comb. Add the recommended shampoo to a bowl of warm water and leave to soak for a few minutes, rinse thoroughly and repeat if necessary. Repeat this process with the conditioner recommended by your consultant. Please note a human hair wig must not be combed or brushed harshly when wet as this will loosen the hair. Always allow the it to dry naturally and then when nearly dry it may be blow dried using gentle heat. It may be straightened or curled with tongs or straightening irons which do not exceed 140 degrees.
