How to care of your human hair wigs?
Taking care of your human hair wig properly will ensure it stays soft, shiny, and lasts a long time. Here’s a complete guide to maintaining your wig:
1. Washing the Wig
- Frequency: Wash it every 10–15 wears or when it feels dirty.
- Products: Use a sulfate-free, paraben-free shampoo and conditioner designed for human hair wigs.
-
Steps:
- Detangle the wig with a wide-tooth comb or wig brush before washing.
- Fill a basin with lukewarm water and mix in a small amount of shampoo.
- Submerge the wig and gently swish it (don’t rub or twist).
- Rinse with cool water.
- Apply conditioner, avoiding the wig cap if it’s hand-tied. Let it sit for a few minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
2. Drying the Wig
- Pat the wig gently with a towel (don’t wring it).
- Place it on a wig stand to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight.
- If using a blow dryer, keep it on a low-heat setting.
3. Styling Tips
- Heat Tools: Use a heat protectant before styling. Keep heat under 350°F (177°C).
- Brushing: Always brush gently with a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends and working up.
- Avoiding Tangles: Store the wig on a mannequin head or in a silk/satin bag when not in use.
4. Moisturizing and Care
- Since human hair wigs don’t get natural scalp oils, apply a light leave-in conditioner or argan oil to keep it soft.
- Don’t overuse products to avoid buildup.
5. Storing the Wig
- Keep it on a wig stand or in a silk/satin bag when not wearing.
- Avoid humid or dusty areas.
6. Avoiding Damage
- Don’t sleep in your wig to prevent tangling.
- Avoid excessive heat or sun exposure.
- If swimming, wear a wig cap to protect it from chlorine and saltwater.
Following these steps will keep your human hair wig looking fresh, smooth, and natural for longer! Do you have a particular wig style or concern in mind?
