7 Practical Wig Care Tips

  1. Brush gently before and every use

    Always detangle from the hair ends upward with a wide-tooth wig brush. Never yank tangled locks roughly, which causes unnecessary shedding.

  2. Wash only when necessary

    Wash your human hair wig every 7–10 wears. Over-washing strips natural hair moisture and leads to dryness and matting.

  3. Use sulfate-free mild hair products

    Ordinary shampoo contains harsh chemicals that dry out cuticles. Stick to wig-specific sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to lock in softness.

  4. Avoid hot water & high heat styling

    Rinse with lukewarm cool water only. If you curl or straighten the wig, always apply heat protectant and keep heat tools below 320°F.

  5. Air dry flat, never hang wet

    Hanging wet wigs stretches the hair roots and triggers shedding. Lay it flat on a wig stand or clean towel to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.

  6. Store properly when not wearing

    Before storage, fully detangle the wig, place it on a foam wig head or seal inside its original packaging bag. Keep it in a cool, dry place to avoid dust and knots.

  7. Sleep with a silk satin wrap or bonnet

    Cotton pillowcases create friction that tangles hair overnight. Cover your wig with a silk bonnet to reduce friction, tangles and shedding while sleeping.
