Three things you do with a wig at home, written out step by step. Malka is filming each one, and the videos land in these slots as they come.
How to put your wig on
It arrives ready to wear, with the hairline and cap size you picked already done. The first time takes a few minutes. After that it's quick.
- Flatten your own hair first. A low ponytail pinned down, or two braids pinned back. Anything bulky shows through as a bump.
- Hold the wig at the front with both hands, the nape end hanging back.
- Set the front edge at your own hairline before anything else. That's the part that has to land right.
- Pull the back down over your head until the cap sits at your nape.
- Check two things in the mirror: the lace lying flat against your skin at the front, and the cap sitting snug without pressing anywhere.
- Part it with your fingers and shake the length out. If it needs a brush, start at the ends and work up.
Cap size and hairline are done here in Jerusalem before the wig ships, so it should sit right out of the box. If it doesn’t, tell us before you wear it out. The 10-day return is unworn.

How to wash your wig at home
It's human hair, so it washes like hair. Shampoo and conditioner at home, the same way you'd wash your own. The part that needs care is the drying, which is the next one.
- Brush it out dry before any water touches it, starting at the ends and working up. Wet hair tangles harder.
- Rinse under lukewarm water. Let the water run down from the cap to the ends instead of piling the hair up.
- Shampoo through the lengths with your fingers. Go gently at the front, where the hair is tied into the lace, then rinse it out.
- Condition from the mid-lengths down, keeping it off the cap. Rinse until the water runs clear.
- Press the water out with a towel. Don't wring it, don't rub it.

How to air dry your wig
Every wig here is air dried, including the way it was styled before it shipped. No blow-dryer. It takes hours rather than minutes, so wash it on a day you don't need it.
- Comb it through gently while it's damp, from the ends up.
- Set it on a wig stand so it keeps its shape. Lying flat on a towel works too.
- Leave it in the room to dry. Not on a radiator, not in the sun, not under a dryer.
- Leave it alone until it's dry. Wet hair that keeps getting handled dries rough.
It dries back into the style it came in. It’s real hair, so it takes heat and holds a style you set, and it’ll want a refresh now and then, same as your own.
