If you’re investing in a good wig, you want it to last — not look worn out after a few installs. The truth is, most wigs don’t “go bad”… they just haven’t been cared for the right way.
Here are some simple tips to help your wig stay soft, natural, and beautiful for as long as possible.
1. Be gentle when brushing
Start at the ends and work your way up. Tugging from the top can cause shedding and breakage. Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush and take your time — especially around the lace.
2. Wash only when needed
You don’t need to wash your wig every week. Over-washing dries it out.
A good rule:
- Every 2–3 weeks if you wear it often
- After heavy product buildup
- After swimming, sweating, or vacation
Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner and rinse with lukewarm water — not hot.
3. Treat it like delicate hair
Heat is fun… but too much damages wigs just like real hair.
If you’re using heat:
- Always use heat protectant
- Keep tools on low–medium settings
- Avoid daily flat ironing
Your lace, knots, and strands will thank you later.
4. Store it properly
Throwing a wig anywhere is the quickest way to tangle it.
Store it on:
- A mannequin head
- A silk bag
- A wig hanger
And keep it away from heat and direct sunlight.
5. Schedule revamps
A professional revamp refreshes your wig, fixes dryness, restyles it, and brings it back to life. Think of it like a “spa day” for your unit.
*** If your wig is starting to look tired, frizzy, or dull, that doesn’t mean it’s ruined — it probably just needs some love.
