Everyone has their own way of washing and conditioning wigs, but we recommend the following steps to keep your synthetic wig looking its best:
1. Fill a sink with cool to lukewarm water and add wig shampoo.
2. Soak the wig in the water for 5 minutes, gently swishing it around.
3. Rinse the wig gently in cool water until all shampoo is removed.
4. Apply wig conditioner and leave it on for 3-5 minutes.
5. Rinse the wig gently in cool water until all conditioner is removed.
6. Gently blot the wig with a towel to remove excess water.
7. Place the wig on a wig stand to air dry.
Here are a few more tips to keep in mind when washing and conditioning your synthetic wig:
Only use products specifically designed for synthetic wigs, as regular shampoo and conditioner can damage the fibers and shorten the lifespan of your wig.
Avoid rubbing or twisting the wig while washing it, as this can cause tangles and knots. Instead, gently swish it around in the water.
When rinsing out the shampoo and conditioner, be sure to use cool water, as hot water can also damage the fibers.
Do not wring out the wig or hang it up to dry, as this can stretch out the cap and cause it to lose its shape. Instead, blot it gently with a towel and then place it on a wig stand to air dry.
If your wig has any styling product buildup or is particularly dirty, you may want to wash it more frequently than usual. However, be careful not to over-wash it, as this can also damage the fibers.
