How to Wash and Care for your Wig.

Proper wig care is essential to maintain its appearance, longevity, and softness. Follow these simple steps to keep your wig looking its best, whether it's synthetic or human hair.

How to Wash a Synthetic Wig

 Tip: Avoid heat styling unless your wig is heat-resistant.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Detangle Gently – Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush to remove knots, starting from the ends and working up.

2. Prepare a Wash Basin – Fill a sink with cold water and mix in a wig-friendly shampoo.

3. Soak & Swish – Place the wig in the water and gently swish it around—do not rub or scrub. Let it soak for 5 minutes.

4. Rinse Thoroughly – Rinse under cold running water until all shampoo is gone.

5. Condition (Optional) – Use a leave-in wig conditioner, avoiding the roots to prevent loosening knots.

6. Pat Dry – Lightly pat with a towel—never twist or wring.

7. Air Dry – Place the wig on a wig stand and let it dry naturally. Avoid direct heat or sunlight.

Synthetic Wig Care Tips:

✔ Store on a wig stand to maintain shape.

✔ Avoid heat tools unless labeled heat-resistant.

✔ Use wig-specific products (shampoos, sprays, detanglers).

✔ Avoid friction (e.g., rubbing against pillows, scarves, or clothing).

How to Wash a Human Hair Wig

 Tip: Treat it like delicate natural hair, avoiding harsh products.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Detangle Before Washing – Use a wide-tooth comb to remove any knots.

2. Wet the Wig Gently – Rinse under lukewarm water, allowing water to flow in the hair’s natural direction.

3. Shampoo with Care – Apply sulfate-free shampoo, gently massaging from roots to ends.

4. Rinse Thoroughly – Use lukewarm water to remove all shampoo.

5. Condition for Softness – Apply a moisturizing conditioner, avoiding the cap area to prevent loosening knots. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing.

6. Blot & Air Dry – Gently pat with a towel, then place the wig on a stand to air dry.

7. Style as Desired – Once dry, you can heat-style using low to medium heat.

Human Hair Wig Care Tips:

✔ Use heat protectants when styling.

✔ Deep condition occasionally to maintain softness.

✔ Avoid excessive washing—wash after 7–10 wears or as needed.

✔ Store on a wig stand or in a silk bag to prevent tangling.
