This thorough guide will help you maintain the beauty and longevity of your wig.

How to wash your wig?

1. Untangle your wig：Wet the hair, apply conditioner, then use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush to gently untangle the hair from bottom to top before washing your wig. Before washing, this procedure aids in removing tangles and knots. Wet brushing can harm the fibers, so avoid doing so when shampooing or conditioning.

2. Wash your hair with warm water：Start by submerging your wig in lukewarm water, preferably under a sink tap so that all of your supplies are close at hand. To keep your human hair wig free of tangles throughout the soaking process, make sure the water flows in the same direction as the wig hairs.

3. Shampoo your wig：Use a lot of wig shampoo on the crown of your wig once it has been soaked. Gently apply the shampoo using your fingers from the top of the wig to the ends. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the product into the wig's strands; instead, handle it carefully.

4. Rinse away the shampoo：Gently run the wig under the faucet to remove the shampoo. Verify that the water is flowing in the same direction as the hair. While the wig is under the tap, you can help remove the most of the product by gently running your fingers through it.

5. Condition your wig：Conditioning comes next. To ensure even coverage without concentrating the product in one area, apply your human hair wig conditioner to the wig's crown and gently work it through the hair.

6. Shampoo and rinse once more.

7. Dry your wig：To preserve the look and longevity of your human hair wig, make sure it dries correctly. The drying technique you select can have a big impact on the wig's general health and stop needless damage.

a. Air drying：The most gentle way to dry your human hair wig is by air drying it. Let your wig dry naturally by setting it on a mannequin head or wig stand. This technique avoids heat-related damage and maintains the wig's original texture.

b. Blow drying：You can use a blow dryer to speed up drying if you're pressed for time. To avoid overheating the hair strands, use a low heat setting and keep the dryer at least 10 to 12 inches away from the human hair wigs. This guarantees that your wig dries fast without sacrificing its quality.
