Investing in a high-quality human hair wig is an exciting step—it gives you endless styling options, boosts your confidence, and enhances your everyday look. But just like natural hair, wigs need proper care to keep them looking fresh, soft, and long-lasting. With the right routine, your wig can stay beautiful for months (and even years). Here are some essential wig maintenance tips every wig wearer should know.
1. Wash Your Wig Regularly
Human hair wigs don’t need daily washing, but they do need regular care. Wash your wig every 7–10 wears, or sooner if you use styling products. Always use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner to protect the hair and keep it soft and manageable.
2. Detangle Before Washing
Before washing, gently detangle your wig with a wide-tooth comb or wig brush, starting from the ends and working your way up. This helps prevent breakage and keeps the strands smooth.
3. Dry With Care
Never rub your wig with a towel. Instead, gently blot excess water and let it air dry on a wig stand. Avoid using high heat, as this can damage the hair and cap construction.
4. Minimise Heat Styling
Human hair wigs can be styled, but constant heat can shorten their lifespan. Use heat tools sparingly and always apply a heat protectant spray before styling.
5. Store Properly
When not in use, store your wig on a wig stand or mannequin head to maintain its shape and prevent tangling. Keep it away from direct sunlight and dust.
6. Regular Revamping
Over time, wigs may lose their shine or style. Consider a professional wig revamping service to restore softness, refresh the look, and extend the lifespan of your wig.
