How To Properly Care For Your Wig

Are you considering wearing a wig for the first time? Not sure where to start or what to look for? This blog post is for you! We’ll go over some basics of what to consider when choosing a wig, including style, material, and fit. By the end of this post, you’ll have a better idea of which wig is right for you. So let’s get started!

Tips And Tricks For Wig Care

Do’ and Dont’s

Do clean your wig regularly to maintain its appearance and longevity. In addition to shampooing and conditioning, care for your wig also involves keeping your scalp clean, especially if you wear your wig daily. This helps prevent buildup of oils and products that can irritate your scalp. Use a gentle cleanser and water-dipped cotton balls to cleanse your scalp beneath the wig. Be careful not to rinse out the cleanser completely to avoid stripping essential oils from your scalp.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your wig looking great for years! Remember to also use a wide-tooth comb or brush, avoid high heat when styling, and cleanse your scalp regularly. These easy care steps will help you keep your wig looking fabulous day after day.


Shampoo & Conditioning

Do shampoo and condition your wig regularly. Just like your own hair, wigs need to be shampooed and conditioned to stay healthy and looking their best. Use a mild shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for wigs, and avoid products that contain harsh chemicals or sulfates. Be sure to rinse thoroughly so that no residue is left behind. Only use synthetic shampoo and conditioner for synthetic wigs.


Combs and heating tools

Do use a wide-tooth comb or brush for wig care. Regular brushing is essential to keep your wig looking smooth and sleek, but it’s important to use a wide-tooth comb or brush specifically designed for wigs to prevent damage to the fibers. Gently comb or brush from the bottom up, starting with the tips and working your way up to the roots.


Don’t put heat styling tools on high heat. Heat styling tools can be safely used on human hair wigs, but always ensure to use them at low or medium settings and apply a heat protectant spray beforehand to shield the fibers. This will help prevent damage. NEVER USE HIGH HEAT on synthetic wigs. Instead, you can use a steamer to restyle your synthetic wig, which is safer for maintaining its condition.


Wig Stand

Don’t neglect your wig stand. A good wig stand is essential for proper wig care. It will help your wig retain its shape and prevent tangles while it’s not being worn. When you’re not wearing your wig, make sure to store it on a stand that is covered with a soft fabric to avoid any snags or tangles.
