Tips on How to Travel With Wigs

Wigs are amazing because they give us perfect hair in minutes - so traveling with them should be a breeze! In this guide, we’ll explore essential travel tips for wig care, from choosing the right storage solutions to carrying an extra wig for peace of mind. Learn how to keep your wigs tangle-free, fresh, and styled to perfection wherever your travel takes you.

Tips for Traveling with Wigs

Proper Storage. Store your wigs in a bag that’s specifically designed for them. The ResQ Bag & Kit + Mini by Amy Gibson protects wigs, hairpieces, and extensions in a unique mesh lining that minimizes tangles and frizz, making it safe for travel. This is by far the best solution… but in a pinch… you can also use a Ziploc baggie. Just make sure it’s filled with air to keep your wig from getting squished.

Bring an Extra Wig: Always bring more than one wig with you. Not only does it offer style versatility for the day’s events but also helps protect your wig from general wear and tear. The ability to change your look from day to night will be worth it! We suggest taking a great human hair wig as you have complete versatility to style anyway you like... then throw in a fun synthetic wig which gives you a perfect option for rain, sun, or just plain running around without having to take the time to style. Both human hair wigs and synthetic wigs have their advantages. Take the best of both or see what works best for you.

Wear a Wig Cap. When you’re traveling, you may not have a chance to stop and wash your wigs. Wearing a wig cap or liner helps keep your wig clean longer because it provides a barrier between your scalp and wig, protecting the fibers and cap construction from sweat and oils from your skin. Heading somewhere warm? Try Headline It’s No Sweat Liner! These specially designed liners absorb sweat and moisture, helping you and your wig stay fresh and comfortable, no matter the heat.

Use a Wig Stand. When you’re not wearing a wig, place it on a wig stand. Not only will this keep your wig free of tangles and creases but will also help maintain its style and shape. The foldable wig stands are perfect for traveling!

Care. Wigs require special care products, even on vacation. Be sure to always detangle your wig throughout the day, using a wide tooth comb. If you have any tangles and knots, be sure to spritz the fibers with Beautimark’s Smooth Detangler spray. If you have a chance to wash your wigs, make sure you use products that are specially made for the wig fiber type. Beautimark has travel kits for both human hair and synthetic wigs. The 2 oz bottles are ideal for travel!
