Santa Wig and Beard Maintenance
ZM hair mainly produce Santa claus wig and beard hair products with yak hair. Yak hair is different with human hair , it has inborn curls , looks like the real beard’s texture. Compared with the soft human hair, Yak hair is thicker and stronger for years’ use and can hold the style longer.
Our Santa styles are ready to wear, so when you receive it , don’t need to wash or style it . We used some hair spary to keep the style and avoid heavy press in the delivery. If the hair style was pressed flat and hard , you can pin the wig/ beard on a canvans head, then comb the pressed part slightly to give it a natural fluffy looking . Then use a hair net to help hold the style , keep it dry for using .
Below are the care & maintenance tips u may need :
1) First time to use yak hair santa beards, how to do it beautifully ? Pls check video here on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF3O9rLKMNI
Thomas explained clearly about how to wear the lacey Santa beard and wig set; glue and tape use; cleaning and storage; application of loose yak hair over the lace edges, etc. With this video , even you are first time to use , can find the way !
2) Am I supposed to trim the lace netting?
Yes, there will be extra lace around your lace wig, beard,moustache and eyebrows. Usually for the new sets we will leave longer lace to prove that is new .
You can trim the lace along the hairline with a small serrated scissors,leave 1/4″-1/2″ is ok , moustache and eyebrows can be shorter, but be careful,don’t cut the hair knots, Or the hair knots will come off easily in use. 3
3) Which kind of shampoo to use and how to wash my yak hair?
For the hair shampoo/ conditioner and hair gel, etc. No specail brands. Can use the same thing with men. What we used is safe and good for hair wigs too.
How to wash also can check on YouTube :https://youtu.be/ZuKg-lebr60
PS: After washing the style will turn loose or straight , so don’t suggest u to wash it often , only when it need to style it .
4) Can it be restyled?
Yes, it can be restyled many times andcan be used for years.
Same as human hair , yak hair can be used heat iron to do one -time style , but can’t be too high temperature, we usually use 160 Centigrade,5-6 seconds ( or it will become yellow) , then add hair spray to keep the style. For the common yak ahir styles we usually use high temperaure and pressure to do with special factory machine. So if you are not professional on styling , it is better to find professional stylist to do for u or send back to us for the revamp-service.
5) How to store my yak hair set ? Yak hair is easy to turn yellow in direct sunlight and plastic bags .We pack the hair sets in plastic bags for delivery only. Once recieve the goods pls get them out soon . To avoid pressing, it is better to put your wig and beard on a suitable tall headforms with face (good headform has similar head size with your wig cap size, this can hold the wig style well, have a tall studdle can hold the beard style well ). Then cover the black hair net and store in a Cabinet , keep them dry and coolfor future use .
6) How to keep the santa wig and beard style last long time ?
We are always working hard to improve our skills and styles to help using lacey Santa wigs , beards more conveniently. We now have two kinds:
If your set is lasting style such as Y-26,Y-06 ,Y-05, B-17 etc. It is easy to maintain and the style will last long time for years,so no need to worry about the style will become loose in use or in rainy days.
If your set is the common style such as Y-30 , Y-39, Y-20 ,Y-34, Y-27, etc. These styles will turn loose when long time use, especially in humid weather, or get wet by accident . So you need to keep the hair set in cool and dry. If must to use in humid weather, you can use some hair spray to avoid coming loose quickly. If your hair style is gone, don’t worry, it can be used also and yak hair can be washed and restyled again .
7) Which kind of glue or adhensive tape is good to use ?
The lace wigs and beards are with realistic hairline , it need spirit gum or adhensive tape to stick on face. We don’t sell glue , but suggested by our many customers Merhron , Ben Nye , Blue bird , Walker is good in use , and Pros aid is very strong to stick . But as differnt people have different favor , so u still need to try and find the best for u .
8) How to stick loose yak hair to hide the lace edge and make it looks as hair grows from skin ?
1.Put on beard
2 .Tools needed: brush, sizzors, loose hair and adhesive tape
3.With a brush apply a thin layer of adhesive or Spirit gum just above the lace edge of the beard, allow it to become tacky .
4.Using the loose hair about 3 inches in length apply small amount pressing the edge of the loose hair into the tacky spirt gum or previously applied adhesive. Using the back of the brush hold the loose hair into place until it sets up. Then gently pull away any loose hair that has not adhered into the adhesive. You repeat this process all down the face above the edge of the lace. If you need more add a bit more adhesive and press in more loose hair .
5.This is how it should look as you are applying down the face above the lace line.
6.Once done repeat the process on the other side, it does not take a great deal of hair you are just camouflaging the edge of the lace line giving the appearance of a growing beard.
Thanks for Thomas sheerin’s instruction on using the loose hair , below is his final beautiful Santa look !
Notice: You only need small amounts like this as you move down the beard line securing small amounts above the lace. It helps if you cut the hair at an angle before pushing into the applied adhesive.
