CROCHET CURLS
BEFORE INSTALL
Our flagship synthetic Crochet Curls are Alkaline-free and do not require any soaks or treatments before installation. Just take them right out of the package and install them!
DETANGLING YOUR HAIR
All synthetic hair will experience some frizz, but we invested in high-quality synthetic fibers that are long-lasting and mimic real natural hair. With our Crochet Curls, the longer you have them in, the better they look!
If you are experiencing tangling or frizz, we recommend snipping the ends and using our Effortless CurlCreme™ to smooth the hair while leaving your synthetic curls feeling soft, defined, and smelling great throughout the day!
APPLYING HEAT
Heating tools (i.e., blow dryers, curling irons, flat irons, etc.) are not recommended for our synthetic Crochet Curls. If you are looking for protective style options that you can use heat; we recommend shopping our 100% virgin human hair products.
COLORING
Our Crochet Curls are made from high-quality synthetic fibers and should not be dyed or bleached. If you are looking for protective style options that you can color; we recommend shopping our 100% virgin human hair products.
LIFESPAN OF YOUR HAIR
Our Crochet Curls will last you 6-8 weeks with proper care and maintenance.
When going to bed, we always recommend using a silk or satin scarf or bonnet or a silk or satin pillowcase. For best results, we recommend the Effortless CurlCreme™ to minimize frizz while leaving your synthetic curls feeling soft, defined, and smelling great throughout the day!

HEADBAND WIGS
BEFORE INSTALL
Our Headband Wigs are made from 100% unprocessed virgin human hair. Before installing your wig:
- Co-wash the hair using a moisturizing conditioner (unless coloring immediately – see Coloring).
- Comb or brush the hair gently with a wide-tooth comb or paddle brush, starting from the ends and working your way up to the weft.
- Rinse the hair thoroughly and squeeze out any excess water. If time permits, allow the hair to air-dry instead of using a blow dryer.
During the initial co-wash, you may experience some strand release. Strand release is the detachment of loose hair resulting in some excess shedding, but this is normal and will subside after that initial wash.
DETANGLING YOUR HAIR
We recommend combing your hair while wet. Detangle from the ends and work your way up to the wefts. Remember to comb gently to avoid excessive shedding. If starting with dry hair, spritz with water and follow with a curling custard, defining cream, or curl mousse.
Scrunch your hair with your hands to allow the wave pattern to set. Once dry, finger comb to add additional volume.
APPLYING HEAT
Our Headband Wigs are made from 100% unprocessed virgin human hair and can be curled and straightened. However, just like your own natural hair, heat can cause damage and result in loosened curls that do not revert to their original pattern. If you need to apply heat, always apply a heat protectant and never exceed 350 degrees.
COLORING
Curlkalon’s 100% unprocessed virgin human hair products, like our Headband Wigs, can be dyed and bleached to any custom color. If you are applying bleach to the hair, we always recommend going to a professional stylist to avoid damage. Note, like your own natural hair, bleaching the hair can cause dryness and shedding and shorten your wig's lifespan.
LIFESPAN OF YOUR HAIR
The lifespan of your Headband Wig will depend on the aftercare. With proper care and maintenance, our Headband wigs can last you 2+ years! Take care of the hair by keeping it moisturized with leave-in conditioners, avoiding excessive manipulation, and using protective products like heat protectants. Always exercise gentle care when combing or brushing. Remember, like your own natural hair, using too much heat or shampooing too frequently can dry out your wig and cause damage or breakage.
When going to bed, we recommend removing your headband wig. However, if you want to keep it installed, always make sure your hair is dry before bed. Always sleep with a silk or satin scarf/bonnet or use a silk/satin pillowcase.
