How to read the guide

Measurements are shown as width × base × hair length. These diagrams are a fitting guide; your ideal topper also depends on the shape and position of the area you would like to cover.

Before wearing your hair piece

Start gently.

  • Gently remove your hair piece from the packaging.
  • Carefully loosen any tangles using your fingers first.
  • Use a wide-tooth comb or specialist hair brush designed for human hair.
  • Always start brushing from the ends and work your way upwards.

Washing your human hair piece

Wash only when needed.

Over-washing can reduce the lifespan of your hair. For best results, use sulphate-free shampoo, moisturising conditioner, and products specifically designed for human hair.

  1. Detangle gently before washing.
  2. Wash with lukewarm water.
  3. Apply shampoo gently in a downward motion.
  4. Rinse thoroughly.
  5. Apply conditioner from mid-length to ends, avoiding the base or cap area.
  6. Rinse and gently towel dry.

Do not rub, twist, or wring the hair.

Drying & styling

Protect the finish.

  • Allow your hair piece to air dry whenever possible.
  • Use heat protectant products before using heat tools.
  • Avoid excessive heat from straighteners, curlers, and blow dryers.
  • Style gently to maintain the quality and longevity of your hair.

Storage

Keep it protected.

  • Store on a wig stand or in your Marilyn Hair Boutique satin storage bag.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat.
  • Ensure the hair is completely dry before storing.
  • Do not store tangled or damp.

Important care notice

Your human hair piece is a premium investment.

The lifespan and appearance of your hair depends on the care and treatment it receives.

  • Colouring, bleaching, chemical treatments, excessive heat, and incorrect care may damage the hair.
  • Cutting, altering, washing, or installing your hair piece may affect return eligibility.
  • Natural shedding may occur with normal use.

“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”
