I've been searching on here but have found nothing on this.
There was lots of info scattered all over the net, but I did finally finally come across one link that had a lot of information in one place on care, styling, fitment, etc. So I thought I would share it here in case anyone else needed it:

Here is my wig care guide, wash it gently with non-static shampoo, let it dry, brush it, toss it in the nearest garbage container.

Good one. I wish I had hair like yours so I wouldn't have to think about it. Can't wait to see the new face.

Hi Kristi;

QuoteTips on Caring for and Maintaining Wigs
How often should I wash a wig?
Generally speaking, a wig should be washed about every 6-8 wearings - but this is also a personal decision. You should consider washing the wig if the style begins to lose its luster, becomes more difficult to style or feels less fresh than when first wearing it. If you are particularly active, then clean the wig at least once a week to remove dirt and perspiration.
shop Wig Accessories >>
To clean the wig
Comb gently to remove tangles, then turn inside out.
Add a capful of specifically formulated wig shampoo to cold water, and soak wig for five minutes.
Swirl gently without rubbing the wig.
Rinse thoroughly in a basin of clean water.
Blot with a towel to remove excess water.
While wig is still wet
Do not rub, wring, twist, brush or comb the wig.
Turn right side out again and place directly on wig drying stand. Avoid using a Styrofoam styling head while wig is wet to prevent stretching.
Spritz thoroughly with specifically formulated wig conditioner (do not rinse out).
Air dry at room temperature (and out of direct sunlight).
Never use heat on a synthetic wig in an attempt to dry the wig faster!
When dry
Simply shake the wig out to "wake" the style again. Then brush or comb wig into desired look.
Do not brush a curly synthetic wig - finger style or use a pick comb instead.
To keep the wig looking fresher longer
Only use professional hair products designed for wigs, like shampoo and conditioner which have been specifically formulated for this purpose.
Avoid using standard hair brushes, which can overstretch and damage the wig. WigShop.com accessories have been designed specifically for use on wigs, and can be used to create added volume and body.
When brushing the wig, start at the ends and work gradually toward the root.
At the end of each day, spritz with spray-on conditioner to maintain luster and manageability, and remove tangles.
Store the wig on a Styrofoam styling head to maintain shape and styling when not in use.

Thanks, Tinkerbell.....sometime I wonder what's a girl to do? (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv11%2FRSOneLight%2Femoticons%2Fffaint.gif&hash=f4e4fc2f63e175bfa8c3c4b3e69b609ca089cd86)
I think I have decided just to grow my eyebrows long and comb them back.
Peace,
