1. Wash Your Wig the Right Way
Its human hair just like your hair, therefore, it needs to be properly treated and maintained with an excellent and thorough wash.
Washing your wig at the right times and using the right procedures will help ensure longer-lasting, healthier-looking wigs, and preserve their texture and feel.
How often? Every 7–10 wears, or whenever it feels oily or dirty.
All types of wigs including closure wigs, lace front wigs and all the others need to be washed. Lace or no lace please clean the hair!
Step-by-step:
- Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends.
- Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add sulfate-free shampoo.
- Dip the wig in, gently swish—don’t rub or twist.
- Rinse with clean lukewarm water.
- After using conditioner, let it sit for at least 5-10 minutes, and most importantly, rinse with cold water. Rinsing with cold water closes the hair cuticle, locking in all the nutrients in the conditioner.
2. Drying Your Wig
Gently blot with a microfiber towel—never wring or twist.
Place the wig on a wig stand to air dry naturally.
Avoid direct sunlight or blow dryers, as heat can damage hair fibers.
3. Styling Your Wig
There are so many tools available today that can create a wide variety of styles.
When using these tools and styling, it's crucial to remember and follow certain techniques. I believe heatless air is a healthy method for any hair type, but it can be less efficient and effective than using hot air. Sometimes, a little heat is all you need to achieve the desired look.
Another important thing to remember when using heat to style a human hair wig is to avoid applying heat too close to the base of the wig. Even with heat protectant, be careful not to apply heat too high.
Excessive heat at the base of the wig can cause hair to fall out and cause strands to become loose from the wefts. This is especially important if your human hair wig is made with glue instead of thread.
For human hair wigs: You can curl, straighten, or even dye them. Always use a heat protectant before styling.
For synthetic wigs: Avoid heat unless it’s labeled “heat-friendly.”
Don’t overload with products—lightweight leave-in conditioner or wig-specific sprays are enough.
