Frequency:
- Synthetic Wigs: Clean every 8–10 wears.
- Human Hair Wigs: Clean every 6–8 wears or as needed.
Steps to Wash Your Wig:
- Detangle
- Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush to gently remove tangles, starting at the ends and working up to the roots.
- Rinse
- Hold the wig under cool running water. Avoid hot water, as it can damage the fibers.
- Shampoo
- Use a wig-specific shampoo. Apply it gently from root to tip. Do not rub or scrub the fibers.
- Rinse Again
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all shampoo is removed.
- Condition
- Apply wig conditioner (especially for human hair wigs) and let it sit for 3–5 minutes. Avoid the base/cap area, as it may loosen knots.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
- Dry
- Pat gently with a towel to remove excess water.
- Place the wig on a wig stand to air dry. Avoid using a hairdryer.
Styling Your Wig
- Synthetic Wigs:
- Use styling products specifically designed for synthetic wigs.
- Do not use regular hair sprays or gels.
