5 Expert Tips for Human Hair Wig Care
- Wash your wig regularly, but not too often. Over-washing can strip the hair of its natural oils and cause it to become dry and brittle.
- Use a shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for human hair wigs. Regular shampoos and conditioners can contain harsh chemicals that can damage the hair.
- Be gentle when brushing your wig. Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for wigs. Avoid brushing the hair when it is wet, as this can cause it to break.
- Avoid using heat styling tools on your wig. Heat can damage the hair and cause it to become frizzy. If you must use heat, use it on a low setting and only for a short period of time.
- Store your wig properly when you are not wearing it. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
