Hi All
So, I have a question about humidity and taking care of your Kigs hair.
Does humidity effect the Kigs hair? And, do I need to take any extra steps in caring for her and her hair, because of humidity? I know I need to brush her hair, and the general tips for taking care of her, but I was wondering if humidity added anything else.
Thanks in advance

Hey Kaga,
Most high quality wigs are made of "Kanekalon" which is a brand name for a production that is heat resistant and tangle resistant.
Since it is a synthetic product made from petrochemicals "plastic", it is basically a waterproof product. Humidity will affect it in the same way static electricity does. (I live in a very low humidity area of the country) It wants to frizz up and fly everywhere.
What I've found that works out well for either cast is misting the fiber with a solution of 3 parts water and 1 part "Mane n Tail"detangler and brushing gently starting from the tips up. I either use a "comb" or a "detangling brush".
For storage while not using the mask I cover the piece with a plastic bag. This does two things.

- It keeps the picking down (this is for those that can't help themselves and just have to futz around with the hair
- Keeps the dust off and stops contaminants from infiltrating the hair.
