How to Maintain Body Wave Wigs ?

Maintaining body wave wigs properly keeps their signature soft waves bouncy, smooth, and long-lasting. Here’s a complete care guide 👇

Washing Your Body Wave Wig

Frequency: Every 7–10 wears or when it feels weighed down.

Steps:

1. Detangle first – Gently brush with a wide-tooth comb or wig brush from tips to roots.

2. Use lukewarm water – Fill a basin with clean water.

3. Add sulfate-free shampoo – Swirl gently (don’t rub or twist).

4. Rinse thoroughly – Let the water flow in the same direction as the hair.

5. Condition deeply – Apply conditioner from mid-lengths to ends. Let it sit 5–10 mins.

6. Rinse and pat dry – Use a soft towel, never wring out the wig.

Tip: Always wash the wig in a downward motion to maintain the wave pattern.

Drying the Wig

• Air dry preferred – Place the wig on a stand and let it air dry naturally.

• Avoid direct heat – Don’t use a blow dryer unless absolutely necessary.

• If using heat, apply a heat protectant spray first and use low temperature.

Styling and Maintaining the Waves

• Use a large barrel curling iron or rollers to refresh waves.

• Apply a light styling mousse or curl-enhancing cream (avoid heavy oils).

• For natural waves, braid the wig overnight or use flexi rods when it’s slightly damp.

• Avoid excessive brushing — finger-combing is best for daily styling.

Daily Care Tips

• Store on a wig stand or mannequin head to keep its shape.

• Avoid sleeping or swimming with the wig on.

• Apply argan or coconut oil serum lightly to the ends to maintain shine.

• Keep the wig away from direct sunlight and humidity when not in use.

What to Avoid

• No alcohol-based products (they dry out hair).

• Don’t use heavy gels or waxes.

• Don’t comb the wig while it’s wet — it can loosen the waves and cause shedding.
