Caring for your wigs involves regular maintenance, to keep them looking their best. By following these tips, you can extend the life of your wig and keep it looking great!
Wash your wig regularly: Use a mild shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for wigs. Avoid using hot water, and gently massage the scalp to clean the wig.
Then condition and moisturize by using a leave-in conditioner or wig spray to keep the hair soft and shiny. Refrain from using harsh chemicals, dyes, or perms, as they can damage the wig fibers. While styling your wig, use a wig brush and avoid using heat styling tools or rough handling, which can damage the hair. Endeavour to keep your wig on a wig stand or mannequin head when not in use to maintain its shape.
Just like natural hair, wigs can be damaged by UV rays. Use a wig cap or spray with SPF to protect your wig from the sun.
Lastly, regular trims can help maintain your wig’s shape and appearance.
