Senior wig engineers tell you：How to wash Deep Wave Wig?

The author is a senior wig engineer from China, engaged in the research and development of wigs number more than twenty years, now let's take a moment to learn.

Washing a deep wave wig requires care to maintain the curls and prolong the wig's lifespan. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Materials Needed:

• Wide-tooth comb or detangling brush
• Basin or sink
• Mild sulfate-free shampoo
• Silicone-based conditioner
• Wig stand or mannequin head
• Microfiber towel

Steps:

1. Detangle the Wig

1. Place the wig on a flat surface or a wig stand.
2. Gently comb through the hair with a wide-tooth comb or fingers, starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots to avoid breakage.
   
   

2. Prepare Lukewarm Water

1. Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water.
2. Add a small amount of sulfate-free shampoo, mixing it until suds form.

3. Wash the Wig

1. Submerge the wig in the water and gently swish it around.
   Tip: Do not rub or twist the wig, as it can loosen the curls.
2. Focus on cleaning the cap by gently massaging it with your fingers.

4. Rinse Thoroughly

1. Drain the soapy water and refill the basin with clean, lukewarm water.
2. Rinse the wig by gently swishing it around. Repeat until all shampoo is removed.

5. Condition the Wig

1. Apply a generous amount of silicone-based conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends.
2. Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to distribute it evenly.
3. Leave the conditioner on for 5-10 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticles and enhance the curls.

6. Remove Excess Water

1. Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring the wig).
2. Place the wig on a microfiber towel and pat it dry.

7. Dry the Wig

1. Place the wig on a wig stand or mannequin head to maintain its shape.
2. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as they can damage the fibers.

8. Restore the Curls

1. Once the wig is dry, gently fluff the curls with your fingers.
2. For added definition, use a curl-defining mousse or cream designed for wigs.

Maintenance Tips:

• Wash the wig every 7–10 wears or as needed.
• Avoid excessive brushing; use your fingers to detangle daily.
• Store the wig in a satin bag or on a wig stand when not in use to prevent tangling.

By following these steps, your deep wave wig will remain clean, soft, and beautifully curled.
