How to Take Care of human hair wigs?

Taking care of human hair wigs properly helps maintain their softness, shine, and longevity—often lasting over a year with good care. Here's a complete guide:

🧼 1. Wash the Wig Gently

  • Frequency: Every 7–10 wears or when it feels dirty.

  • How:

    • Detangle first with a wide-tooth comb.

    • Use lukewarm water.

    • Apply a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo.

    • Gently smooth (don’t rub) the shampoo through the hair in a downward motion.

    • Rinse thoroughly.

💧 2. Condition Deeply

  • Use a hydrating conditioner or deep conditioner after shampooing.

  • Focus on the mid-shaft to ends (avoid the roots or cap if it's a sewn-in or glued wig).

  • Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

🌀 3. Air Dry or Blow-Dry on Low Heat

  • Gently blot with a microfiber towel—don’t wring.

  • Air drying on a wig stand is best to maintain shape.

  • If blow-drying, use a heat protectant and low heat.

🌟 4. Detangle with Care

  • Always detangle when dry or damp (not soaking wet).

  • Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush from ends to roots.

  • Detangle gently to prevent shedding or breakage.

🌟 5. Use Minimal Heat

  • Since it’s human hair, you can curl or straighten—but use a heat protectant spray.

  • Avoid high temperatures (stay below 350°F/180°C).

  • Limit heat styling to preserve quality.

🚫 6. Avoid Overwashing or Product Buildup

  • Too much washing or heavy products can dry out or weigh down the hair.

  • Use lightweight serums or leave-in conditioners designed for human hair wigs.

🌙 7. Store It Properly

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

  • Cover with a satin or silk bag to prevent dust and tangling.

☀️ 8. Keep Away from Harsh Conditions

  • Avoid direct sunlight for long periods (can fade color).

  • Don’t sleep or shower in your wig.
