Wig & sheitel care guide

Keeping beautiful hair beautiful

A premium wig or sheitel is an investment. Cared for gently, it will reward you for years. These are the essentials — your personal routine is refined together at your final fitting.

A little care, a lot longer life

Most of what keeps a wig or sheitel beautiful is simple and consistent: gentle handling, the right products, and a professional check-in now and then. Here's what we walk through at every fitting.

  • Brushing

    Brush gently from the ends upward with a soft, wig-appropriate brush, supporting the hair as you go. Never brush from the cap down through a knot.

  • Washing

    Wash only when needed, with lukewarm water and a gentle sulfate-free shampoo, moving in one direction. Condition mid-length to ends, keeping product away from the cap and knots.

  • Drying

    Blot — never wring — and let the piece air-dry on a stand away from direct heat and sunlight. Style only once fully dry.

  • Heat styling

    Use low, controlled heat sparingly and always with protection. When in doubt, let us do it: a professional set lasts longer and stresses the hair less.

  • Storage

    Store on a stand, or tucked into the silk drawstring bag that comes with your piece, away from sunlight, steam, and perfume. For longer storage, loosely cover and keep the piece dry and cool.

  • Travel

    Travel with the piece on a folding stand or carefully packed in its box, brushed and loosely secured. Never at the bottom of a suitcase.

  • Professional refresh

    Bring your piece in periodically for a professional wash, set, and check. Small repairs caught early keep a sheitel looking new.

Every Shaynelle piece leaves with a written care card. Questions between visits are always welcome.

In every box

A card, not a guess

Every piece leaves the boutique with its own printed care card — the essentials at a glance, so the routine we walk through together is always close at hand.

A soft place to rest

Every piece comes home with its own silk drawstring bag — breathable, gentle, and simple. Between wears, it's the easiest way to keep hair protected from dust, light, and friction.
