Wigs: an investment. You wouldn't just pay a couple hundred to a couple of thousand dollars for nothing, would you? Proper care for a wig can help protect its longevity and keep you looking great.
Steps
Be gentle when combing a wig. Do not use regular brushes, and if you can, only comb them. It doesn't need to be combed every day, so let it rest.[1]
Take it off and put it on a wig stand. The stand will help keep its shape and taking it off your head takes away from your own tugging and pulling hairs out.[2]
Do not shake it in a towel. Be careful and dry it piece by piece. This makes sure that strands of fibers don't fall off. Also, never style your wig while it's wet. Even those wet-to-style hair stylers are known to damage your wig.[3]
Squeeze it dry after saturating it. Don't wring it or the base of your wig could become misshaped and dry funny.[4]
While washing your hair, never use shampoo meant for natural hair. ''Even though normal conditioner is OK, the shampoo is too harsh and can lead to hair falling out.
Condition your hair every couple weeks or so, to keep it shiny and soft. Make sure you don't do that every day and be sure to rinse it all out or it could lead to build-up in your wig.
Wash your wig after wearing it 25 times. If you do this daily or even weekly, it can lead to your wig looking less realistic and falling apart.[5]Advertisement
