Washing Your Straight Wig

What You Need

●Mild shampoo (preferably sulfate-free)

●Conditioner

●Wig stand or mannequin head

●Wide-tooth comb

●Towel

●Basin or sink

●Cool or lukewarm water

Steps

Detangle the Wig: Gently run a wide-tooth comb through the wig so that all the tangles are removed. Begin from the ends and work towards the top to prevent the hair from getting damaged.

Prepare the Water: To wash your wig, you are going to fill a basin or your sink with lukewarm or cold water. Since hot water can be damaging to the wig fibers, it is not recommended to use it for washing.

Shampooing:

  • Add a small amount of very mild shampoo to the water.
  • Immerse the straight wig in the water, creating a gentle agitation. Do not scrub or rub it, as the wig can tangle.
  • Leave the wig for approximately 5 minutes soaking;

Rinse: Pour off the soapy water and fill the basin with clean, cool or lukewarm water. Swish the wig in the water to remove shampoo. Repeat until all shampoo is rinsed away.

Conditioning:

  • Use a small amount of conditioner, mostly on the ends, avoiding the roots of your straight wig and cap since the conditioner loosens the knots.
  • Leave the conditioner on the hair for 2-5 minutes.
  • Rinse with cool water thoroughly until the water runs clear with no conditioner.       

Drying:

  • Gently blot the wig with a towel to remove extra water. Do not wring or twist the wig.
  • Let it air dry on a wig stand or mannequin head; this will make it not lose its shape. Avoid using your hair dryer because too much heat damages the wig.

Maintaining Your Straight Wig

Storage: The best way to store your straight wig while not in use is on a stand or a mannequin head, as it allows the wig to hold its shape. Store it in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight and dust.

Brushing:

  • Use a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush specially designed for human hair wigs.
  • Gently brush your wig, starting at the ends and working your way up to avoid tangling and shedding.

Styling: Heat tools on human hair straight wigs should be kept in a low to medium setting. A heat protectant spray should also be used before styling.

Avoid Products: Minimize the use of styling products like gels, sprays, and mousse, as these can build up and require more frequent washing.

Regular Maintenance:

  • Wash your straight wig every 6-8 wears or when it starts to look dull and lifeless.
  • Check for and trim any split ends on human hair wigs to maintain a polished look.

Professional Care: Consider taking your wig to a professional stylist for periodic deep conditioning and styling, especially if it’s a high-quality human hair wig.
