STEPS
Fill a sink with warm water and add 3 to 5 drops of Matrix Total Results Keep Me Vivid Shampoo. Mix until fully dissolved.
Submerge the wig in the sink. Massage the diluted shampoo into the hair and let sit for 10 minutes.
Stylist Tip: Do not rub the hair or it will tangle.
Rinse out all of the shampoo until the water is clear. Notice the haircolor stops bleeding after exposure to the shampoo.
Apply a generous amount of Matrix Total Results Keep Me Vivid Conditioner and massage it into the hair. Let sit for 30 minutes and rinse out in cold water.
Spray Matrix Total Results Color Obsessed Miracle Treat 12 on the hair as a leave-in conditioner and comb through.
Use a mousse to lay down the return hairs, then blow-dry (Click here to buy the Wig Dryer By Daroko!) and style as usual.
Note: Cynthia explains that the, "return hairs are the short hairs, about 2-3 inches long, that are on the other side of the knot. When a wig is handmade and the hair is tied on the lace, on one side of the knot is the length and on the other side are the return hairs."
