How to Care for Your Body Wave Frontal: Step-by-Step Guide

Proper care is essential for getting the most out of body wave frontal - in terms of looks and longevity. And the best part? It’s not complicated. Just follow these five steps!

Comb Your Body Wave Frontal Regularly

Whether you purchased our eye-catching Blonde Body Wave 13x4 Frontal or went with the Jet Black Body Wave 13x6 Frontal option, one thing remains the same:

You need to comb your hairpiece regularly, girlfriend.

Regularly combing will ensure that your unit doesn’t end up with knots, tangles, or other hindrances that could otherwise damage or ruin your unit. (Hello, breakage and bald spots!)

When combing, it is 100% imperative to be gentle. Start from the bottom and work your way to the top. If you run into any snags, I suggest using a detangler and carefully working with your comb to remove the knot/tangle.

Shampoo Regularly with the Right Products, Too

Yes, you have to wash your body wave frontal like your natural tresses, it will build up debris and product over time. This will result in a body wave frontal that lacks luster and appears greasy and worn out.

Ew, no thanks. When it comes to washing your hair, make sure you’re using a shampoo that’s specifically designed for human hair pieces.

These shampoos are uniquely designed to be free of sulfates and other harsh chemicals that could potentially harm the hair. 

Another thing to keep in mind is to avoid overwashing, which can dry out your mane and shorten the lifespan of your unit. Limit washing to once or twice a week (or as needed, depending on your lifestyle). 

Last but not least, be gentle. You don’t need to scrub your body wave frontal like you’re trying to polish a car. Smooth, slow, massaging motions from top to bottom are all it takes—trust me.

Don’t Forget to Condition!

If you’re anything like me, hopping out of the shower and going about your day without using any conditioner sounds more like a nightmare. However, this royal treatment shouldn’t be reserved for your natural tresses.

Your body wave frontal deserves - and needs - a good conditioner to keep it in tip-top shape. I recommend using a leave-in conditioner. That way, your body wave hair can soak up moisture throughout the day, leaving you with waves that not only look good but also feel good. 

Stick to Air Drying (When Possible)

Have you shampooed with the right shampoo? Check. Have you used a five-star conditioner that will give your body wave frontal a significant boost in moisture?

Check, check. Now what? To be honest, nothing. If you have the time, allow your body wave frontal to air dry.

You can toss in a pinch of curl-enhancing product and give your tresses a few scrunches with your hand to help “set” the waves, but don’t go overboard with the product.  Air drying is best for avoiding damage and ensuring your body waves look sensational.

However, if you’re in a rush and need your lace frontal dried ASAP, the second best option is to apply heat protectant, use the lowest heat setting, and use the diffuser attachment to keep those waves wavy.

Take Steps for a Good (and Body Wave Safe) Slumber

Many women don’t think anything wrong can happen to their hair while sleeping. This isn’t true. A lot can go haywire while you’re sleeping - especially if you’re prone to tossing and turning like I am.

You see, rolling around in your bed to find that “perfect spot” can lead to much friction on your hair. This isn't good for your lace and tresses, regardless of whether you choose our transparent lace frontals or HD lace frontal units. 

To avoid waking up with tangles, damaged lace, or lifeless body waves, wrap your body wave frontal into a silk or satin bonnet. You can also swap your pillowcases for silk or satin options to reduce unwanted friction.

Insider Tips for Caring for Your Body Wave Frontal

Look - if you purchased one of our Private Label body wave frontals, you had one goal: to enjoy and flaunt those beautiful S-shaped waves. The last thing you want is for your waves to fall flat or end up with tangles, and you also don’t like the nuisance of tears in your lace. 

Here are a few must-know tips to avoid damage and enjoy the most luscious body waves possible:

Always be gentle: I often say this, but it’s essential, girls! Being rough with your hairpiece is a surefire way to damage and destroy it.

Use a comb, not a brush: Combs tend to be gentler on wavy hair, allowing it to keep its shape. They’re better for removing tangles, mats, and knots.

Opt for cooler water: I love piping hot showers, but they’re not great for wave patterns. Try to go with cooler water!

Don’t use heavy products: Products that are “heavy,” i.e., they contain heavy ingredients like silicones or are designed to be thicker/clumper, should be avoided. These will way down your waves, and that’s what we’re trying to avoid.

Don’t use too much product: Even the “thinnest” and most lightweight products shouldn’t be overused. Too much product can wreak havoc on the appearance of your body waves!

Avoid styling too often: Although our body wave frontals can be styled, styling body wave frontals too regularly can eventually manipulate the wave pattern. Put the straighteners down and embrace the gorgeous S shape instead.

FAQs

What products can I use on a body wave wig?

You should always use products designed explicitly for hairpieces. However, when it comes to body wave units, you must also avoid heavy products that could weigh down your waves. 

Can you brush your body wave hair?

You can brush body wave hair using a brush designed for wavy tresses. However, I believe it’s best to use a wide-tooth comb.
