Step-by-Step Approach
-
Brush Regularly: Use a wide-toothed brush or a wig brush specifically designed for human hair wigs to gently remove tangles. Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots.
-
Wash and Condition Properly: Wash your wig with lukewarm water and a gentle shampoo designed for human hair. Apply a conditioner to nourish and detangle. Avoid using harsh shampoos or detergents that can strip natural oils and damage the hair.
-
Use Detangling Products: Apply a detangling spray or serum to the wig before brushing to make combing easier and prevent breakage.
-
Avoid Heat Styling: Excessive heat can damage human hair wigs, leading to tangles and breakage. Limit the use of heat tools such as blow dryers and flat irons, or use them with a heat protectant spray.
-
Store Carefully: When not in use, store the wig on a wig stand or in a silk bag to prevent friction and tangles.
