Proper care will extend the life of your wig. Follow these tips:
Washing: Wash your wig regularly using wig-specific shampoo and conditioner. Synthetic wigs typically require less frequent washing than human hair wigs.
Drying: Air-dry your wig on a wig stand or towel. Avoid using a hairdryer on synthetic wigs unless they are heat-resistant.
Storage: Store your wig on a wig stand or in a wig box to maintain its shape.
Brushing: Use a wide-tooth comb or paddle brush to detangle your wig gently.
Styling: Heat-resistant synthetic wigs and human hair wigs can be styled with heat tools, but always use a heat protectant spray.
Avoid: sleeping in your wig, excessive heat, and harsh chemicals.
Tips and Tricks
Blending: For lace front wigs, trim the lace carefully and blend it with your skin using a
lace tint or makeup.
Securing: Use wig caps, wig grips, or combs to keep your wig more secure and comfortable.
Customization: Consider having your wig professionally styled or colored to achieve
your desired look.
Preventing Tangling: Use a detangling spray to prevent tangles and knots.
Additionally, always brush from bottom up.
Reviving Synthetic Wigs: Use fabric softener to restore shine and softness to
synthetic wigs.
Consult a Professional: If you're unsure about any aspect of wig care or styling, consult a wig stylist.
Troubleshooting Common Wig Problems
Tangling: Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb and detangling spray (recommended for curly textured wigs). For severe tangles, consider using a wig detangler or seeking professional help.
Dryness: Use a moisturizing conditioner or wig oil to hydrate the hair.
Frizz: Use an anti-frizz serum or spray. For synthetic wigs, steam can help smooth frizz.
Shedding: Some shedding is normal, especially with human hair wigs. However, excessive shedding may indicate damage or improper care.
Oiliness: Overuse of products can lead to a greasy appearance or a heavy, oily feel. Wash the wig with a gentle, clarifying wig shampoo.
