When it comes to wig maintenance, the choice of products and treatments is paramount. Given that the hair used in wigs has been previously worn by its donor and undergoes extensive processing at the factory for color matching and other modifications, it's essential to employ the right products to maintain its quality. One standout product that has been making waves in the market for the past couple of years is the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask. This innovative treatment mask has proven to be a game-changer in preserving the hair's integrity better than many other options currently available.
