Wigs are a great way to change up your look or hide hair loss, but they also require regular maintenance to stay beautiful and long-lasting.
Here are some tips and tricks to help you maintain your wig:
Regular brushing
It is important to brush your wig regularly to avoid knots and tangles. Use a soft-bristled brush and start at the tips working your way up gently to the roots. Avoid tugging or tugging the hair too hard to avoid damaging it.
Washing
Wash your wig every 6-8 wears or according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use lukewarm water and a mild wig shampoo. Avoid shampoos containing sulfates which can damage the fibers of the wig. Let the wig dry naturally on a wig stand or clean towel.
Hydration
Like natural hair, wigs can become dry and dull if not moisturized regularly. Use a leave-in conditioner to keep hair soft and hydrated.
Thermal protection
Avoid using hot styling tools on your wig as this can damage the fibers. If you must use hot styling tools, use a heat protectant spray to protect the hair.
Storage
When you’re not wearing your wig, store it on a wig stand or in a wig storage bag. Avoid bending or compressing the wig as this can damage the fibers.
Professional meeting
If you don’t feel comfortable washing or styling your wig, or just want to make sure it’s cared for properly, take it to a professional for professional maintenance. Hair salons specializing in wigs may provide services such as cleaning, cutting, and styling.
By following these simple tips and tricks, you can extend the life of your wig and keep it looking beautiful and natural. Take care of your wig as you would your natural hair and enjoy a carefree fabulous look.
