Hair pieces such as wigs and extensions transform your look, while giving you hair confidence!
When owning premium and luxury hair pieces like Mallia Hair, it’s important to know how to take care of them, not only so they can look shiny, healthy and sleek, but so you can prolong their life cycle. Giving you beautiful hair, for longer!
When washing and treating your Mallia Hair pieces, it’s good to know what products are safe and recommended for the longevity and health of your hair pieces.
Firstly, it’s good to note that your Mallia Hair pieces need to be treated with the same TLC you would your own hair, and with heat drying and styling, your hair pieces need extra moisture and care!
When choosing the correct hair products to wash, treat and soften your hair, you need to avoid products containing sulphates, parabens and silicones. These ingredients are infamous for drying out hair, stripping them of natural oils and moisture and for causing protein buildup. You will notice that after using products with these ingredients that hair is much more fragile, dry and breaks easier. Instead look out for products that contain extra nourishment and hydration with ingredients such as argan oil, shea, jojoba, coconut oil, tea tree oil, glycerine, avocado oil.
Mallia-approved hair products that contain all the right ingredients, are affordable and easily accessible from your local beauty retail stores, such as Clicks and Dischem and most supermarket chains or online on sites such as Takealot and Superbalist.

Hair Brushes
How you comb and handle your hair is equally as important as the products you use to clean and treat your hair. It is a good idea to avoid paddle brushes that contain hard plastic bristles that break and damage your hair. It is recommended to use soft bristle or detangling hair brushes that are designed to be more gentle on your hair. Here are some of our fave soft bristle, boar bristle and nylon bristle brushes:
Available from R109.99 and can be shopped at most Clicks and Dischem retail stores and online at Takealot.com
