Atelier Care Guide

The Art of Preservation

Couture hair rewards devotion. Follow our atelier rituals to keep your wigs and raw bundles pristine — luminous, supple, and endlessly wearable.

01

Wash

The Cleanse

  1. 1.

    Detangle gently from ends to roots with a wide-tooth comb before water touches the hair.

  2. 2.

    Run lukewarm water — never hot — downward over the hair to preserve the cuticle alignment.

  3. 3.

    Lather a coin-sized drop of sulphate-free shampoo between your palms, then smooth it down the lengths. Never scrub or twist.

  4. 4.

    Rinse until the water runs completely clear. Repeat only if there is visible product build-up.

02

Condition

The Nourish

  1. 1.

    Apply a rich, silicone-free conditioner mid-length to ends, avoiding the lace or wefts.

  2. 2.

    For raw hair, treat weekly with a deep-conditioning mask for 15–20 minutes under a warm cap.

  3. 3.

    Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly while the hair is saturated.

  4. 4.

    Rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle and lock in a glass-like sheen.

03

Dry

The Air

  1. 1.

    Pat — never rub — with a microfibre towel to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2.

    Air-dry on a wig stand or lay bundles flat to maintain the natural wave pattern.

  3. 3.

    If you must blow-dry, use a diffuser on the lowest heat and a heat protectant.

  4. 4.

    Never sleep on wet hair; it is at its most fragile and prone to matting.

04

Style

The Sculpt

  1. 1.

    Always apply a heat protectant before any hot tool. Keep irons below 180°C (356°F).

  2. 2.

    Curl or wand in sections, allowing each to cool fully before releasing the shape.

  3. 3.

    For a sleek finish, use a light serum — a single drop — smoothed over the lengths.

  4. 4.

    Limit heat to twice weekly; embrace flexi-rods and heatless sets for everyday waves.

05

Store

The Rest

  1. 1.

    Store wigs on a silk or satin wig stand to preserve cap shape and hairline.

  2. 2.

    Keep bundles in their silk pouch, laid flat, away from direct sunlight.

  3. 3.

    Wrap your own hair in a silk scarf at night to reduce friction on any installed piece.

  4. 4.

    Rotate between pieces to let each rest — this extends a collection's life to 2–3 years.

Wigs & Bundles, Distinctly

The same devotion, two disciplines. A few nuances honour the craft of each.

Wigs

  • Wash on a wig stand, lace facing out, every 7–10 wears.
  • Bleach knots once; avoid re-bleaching to protect the lace.
  • Keep conditioner away from the cap to prevent shedding.
  • Store on a stand to preserve the hairline and cap shape.

Raw Bundles

  • Wash in vertical sections to keep wefts aligned.
  • Deep-condition weekly — raw hair thrives on moisture.
  • Air-dry flat to retain the natural wave memory.
  • Braid loosely before bed to prevent tangling at the nape.

The Atelier Code

Always reach for

  • Sulphate-free, pH-balanced shampoo
  • Silicone-free conditioner & weekly mask
  • Microfibre towel & silk/satin scarf
  • Wide-tooth comb & heat protectant spray

Always avoid

  • Sulphate and alcohol-heavy shampoos
  • Sleeping in wet or damp hair
  • Heavy oils or greasy serums near the lace
  • Hot water and high-heat styling without protectant
