The Ultimate Wig Care Schedule: How to Maintain a human hair v part wig
A lot of people purchase wigs to alter their appearance, increase their self-esteem, or improve their disposition. Even a neatly styled wig might help us stand out from the throng. Purchasing a wig is an investment as well, therefore we should follow certain maintenance guidelines to ensure we get the most use out of our wig purchases. Please keep reading this blog as we talk about wig maintenance advice that can surprise and assist you in new ways.
Step 1: Continual Upkeep
Mild Handling
Treat the wig with caution. When putting the wig on or taking it off, try not to pull on the lace or hair portions. Please click the link to access our dedicated blog post about securely taking off a wig.
Brushing Advice
Using a wig brush or comb with large teeth, gently comb your wig for everyday wear. To prevent pulling on the hair strands, start at the ends and work your way down to the roots, just like we do when we brush our own hair. Using a comb or your fingers to keep the curls in place is the best method for maintaining curly wigs.
Step 2: Cleaning the Frequency of Wig Cleaning
Wigs do not need to be washed as frequently as natural hair does. Synthetic wigs should be washed after 15–20 wears. Wigs made with human hair only require seven or ten washings. Frequent washing might diminish the wig's lifespan and harm the material.
Easy Cleaning Method
◆ Set up a basin: Depending on the kind of wig you are wearing, fill the basin with cool or lukewarm water and add the appropriate shampoo.
◆ Immerse and spin: Give the wig a gentle submersion and let it spin for a few minutes. Do not scrape or squeeze the wig's fibers.
◆ Completely rinse: Run cool water over the wig until all of the shampoo has been removed.
Apply wig conditioner, let it sit for a few minutes, rinse it off, and let it air dry for deep conditioning.
Step 3: Applying Heat Styling to Your Wig
Use heat styling products sparingly and only in cases when the synthetic wig is marked as heat-resistant. Curling irons and straighteners can be used with human hair wigs, but always remember to spray on a heat protectant beforehand.
Product Utilization
Make use of styling supplies made especially for wigs. Regular hair products could be overly abrasive and end up damaging the fibers in the wig. Without adding too much weight to the wig, light sprays and mousse can help keep the style in place.
Step 4: Durability and Storage
Appropriate Storage
Store your wig on a wig stand or mannequin head to maintain its shape. As long as you keep it out of direct sunlight and in a cool, dry place, you can store it without a stand in its original box.
What Are the Proper Ways to Wear a Wig?
In addition to the wig care routine previously mentioned, we spoke with experts to compile the list of things you might not have thought of but should remember when wearing your wig.
Do's: ◆ To guarantee a comfortable fit, select the wig size according to your head circumference.
◆ To preserve the quality of your wig, use specific shampoos and conditioners, particularly for synthetic wigs.
◆ Whenever the wig has to be groomed or trimmed, take it to a skilled stylist to keep it looking natural and appealing.
◆ Applying a daily layer of conditioning oil to your wig will preserve its luster and texture.
When sleeping with your wig, use a silk or satin cap or pillow to lessen tangles and friction.
Don'ts: ◆ Styling tools should not be used, especially on synthetic wigs, since they may damage them.
◆ If you try to style your wig like your real hair in a tight braid or ponytail, it can get damaged and look weird.
◆ Avoid using too much hair product as this could make the wig look greasy and unclean.
