Sometimes investing in a good wig is the best decision you can make for your hair. Whether you’ve decided on a full cap or partial cap hair replacement, you have many different styling options at your disposal. However, if you’re a first-time wig owner, there are a few things you need to know to maintain your wig. Remember: your wig needs for just as much as or more care than your natural hair. Be sure to incorporate these tips to help your wig look fabulous!
Cleaning Your Wig
When learning how to care for a wig, the first thing you need to learn is how to clean it. If you wear your wig daily, it needs to be washed once a week at least. If you don’t wear it as often, it can be washed every other week or so.
Be sure to invest in the proper wig shampoo, since it’s much milder and will be softer on your wig hair strands. Simply fill your sink with cool water, add in some of your wig shampoo and slowly work your hands through the hair like you would wash your natural hair. Allow it to air dry as much as possible before styling it.
Styling Your Wig
Styling your wig is just as easy, if not easier, than styling your natural hair. Using your wig shampoo will help to keep the hair strands feeling natural and can be worked with most brushes, curling irons, hair dryers and more. Just be sure to take extra care so you don’t damage the cap itself. With the right wig hair care products, you’ll never have to worry about a bad hair day again!
Storing Your Wig
One of the most overlooked aspects of how to care for a wig is the storage method. The best places to keep your wig would be on a designated wig stand, a Styrofoam head or even in a box on its own. Just make sure you don’t have it near a window where it could absorb any sunlight and damage the strands or change colors. Your main purpose when storing your wig is to maintain its shape and color so it will look great for a long time.
