Wig Care Guide

Follow these simple steps to keep your wig looking flawless and long-lasting.

 

Daily Maintenance

Store Properly – Place your wig on a wig stand or mannequin to maintain its shape. Avoid tossing it on surfaces where it can tangle.

Minimize Friction – Prevent frizz and tangles by avoiding excessive rubbing against fabrics like sweaters or car headrests.

Use the Right Products – Only use wig-friendly, alcohol-free, and sulfate-free styling products to prevent buildup and damage.

 

Cleaning Your Wig

How Often? – Wash your wig every 6–10 wears or when it looks dull or feels heavy from product buildup.

Step-by-Step Washing Guide:

  • Detangle First – Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush to gently remove tangles.
  • Use Lukewarm Water – Fill a sink with lukewarm water and add a wig-safe shampoo.
  • Soak & Swish – Place the wig in water and gently swirl it (do not rub or scrub).
  • Rinse Gently – Use cool water to rinse until all shampoo is removed.
  • Condition the Ends – Apply wig conditioner to mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the roots. Rinse after a few minutes.
  • Air Dry – Pat dry with a towel and place it on a wig stand to air dry naturally.

 

Styling Tips

Heat-Friendly Wigs: If your wig is heat-resistant, use heat styling tools on the lowest setting (below 300°F/150°C). Always apply a heat protectant.

No Heat Wigs: Do not use curling irons or straighteners on synthetic wigs unless labeled "heat-friendly."

Drying & Setting: Let the wig air dry to maintain its shape. Use rollers or wig-friendly hairspray for styling as needed.

Storage & Longevity

Avoid Sunlight & Dust – Store your wig in a silk bag or box when not in use to prevent fading and dust buildup.

Rotate Wigs – If you wear wigs regularly, rotating between two or more extends their lifespan.

Avoid Sleeping in Wigs – This prevents matting and friction damage.
