How to Revamp Your Human Hair Wigs?
Revamping a human hair wig can breathe new life into it, making it look fresh, soft, and natural again. Whether your wig is tangled, dull, or losing its shape, a proper revamp will restore its beauty. Here’s a complete step-by-step guide:
1. Detangle the Wig
-
Place the wig on a mannequin head or lay it flat.
-
Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush, starting from the ends and working your way up.
-
Be gentle to avoid shedding or breakage.
2. Wash the Wig
-
Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo.
-
Turn the wig inside out and submerge it.
-
Swish gently, avoiding rough scrubbing.
-
Rinse thoroughly with clean lukewarm water.
👉 Tip: If the wig has heavy product build-up, let it soak for 5–10 minutes.
3. Deep Condition
-
Apply a hydrating conditioner or hair mask generously, focusing on mid-lengths to ends.
-
Comb through with a wide-tooth comb to spread evenly.
-
Cover with a plastic cap or wrap in a towel for 20–30 minutes.
-
Rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticle.
4. Restore Shine & Softness
-
Apply a few drops of lightweight natural oil (like argan or jojoba) or a leave-in conditioner.
-
Avoid applying too much near the roots to keep the wig from looking greasy.
5. Blow-Dry or Air-Dry
-
For a sleek finish, blow-dry on low heat with a round brush.
-
To minimize heat damage, you can air-dry the wig on a stand for natural volume.
6. Restyle
-
Use heat styling tools (flat iron, curling wand) on a low to medium setting.
-
Always apply a heat protectant spray before styling.
-
Trim any split or frizzy ends to refresh the look.
7. Revamp the Lace & Parting
-
Clean any glue or makeup off the lace with rubbing alcohol or lace cleaner.
-
Re-pluck the hairline for a more natural look if needed.
-
Use foundation or lace tint to match your scalp tone.
8. Optional: Color Refresh
-
If the wig has faded, you can dye it back to its original shade or add new highlights/lowlights.
-
Always use professional hair dye for human hair wigs and deep condition afterward.
✨ Extra Tips to Keep Your Wig Revamped Longer:
-
Store on a wig stand to keep its shape.
-
Wash every 7–10 wears (or sooner if product builds up).
-
Avoid sleeping or swimming with the wig on.
-
Use silk/satin materials to reduce friction.
