Cleaning human hair closures is key to maintaining their softness, shine, and longevity. Start by detangling the closure gently with a wide-tooth comb to remove any knots, working from the ends up to avoid damage. Next, fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild, sulfate-free shampoo—too much shampoo can strip the hair’s natural oils. Submerge the closure in the water and swish it gently for 2-3 minutes; do not rub or twist vigorously as this can cause tangling or shedding.
Rinse the closure thoroughly with lukewarm water until all shampoo residue is gone. Apply a pea-sized amount of conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends, and leave it on for 5 minutes. Rinse again, then gently squeeze out excess water with a towel (do not wring). Lay the closure flat on a clean towel to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid using heat styling tools until it’s fully dry to prevent damage.
