How To Wash Human Hair Wigs

Human Hair Wigs Require Special Care

Human Hair wigs are the premier choice if you want versatility and luxury. Human hair is soft to the touch and can be styled endless ways. Due to the high demand of quality human hair, human hair wigs are also the most expensive type of wig you can buy. This is why it is so important to use the right products and the proper techniques to care for your human hair wigs. Wigs made with human hair can last a long time, much longer than synthetic wigs. However, using the wrong care products or washing techniques can drastically reduce the life expectancy of your human hair wig.

The Secret to Beautiful Human Hair

All human hair wigs are chemically processed to achieve the most natural look and feel and different color variations. For this reason, it is very important to use sulfate-free care products specifically made for chemically processed hair to keep your human hair wig looking beautiful, longer.

8 Care Tips You Should Know

Have two wigs ready to wear at all times. This way when you are washing one wig, you have a back up which is ready to go. Plus, rotating between wigs also helps to extend the life.
Wash your wig every 2 to 3 weeks or every few wearings, as needed.
Always use sulfate-free care products formulated for chemically processed hair to wash and style your human hair wigs to keep the hair soft and manageable.
Always rinse human hair with the water flowing in the same direction of the hair to avoid matting and tangles.
When washing, pay special attention to the area around the face which may accumulate dirt, oil, and makeup.
To avoid stretching the cap, never place a wet wig on a mannequin or Styrofoam head. A folding wig stands or tall can of hairspray make the best drying platforms.
Never use hot water when washing, as it may loosen the wig construction.
Never twist or rub your wig vigorously while washing or drying.
