 Synthetic Wig Care Tips: Keep It Fresh, Fabulous & Flawless

 1. Wash Sparingly—but Consistently

Wash your synthetic wig every 6–10 wears (or more often if you sweat heavily or use a lot of product). Over-washing can dry out fibers, but neglecting it leads to tangling and buildup.

How to wash:

* Fill a basin with cool water (never hot!).

* Add a capful of synthetic wig shampoo.

* Gently swish the wig—don’t scrub or twist.

* Rinse with cool water, then condition with synthetic-friendly conditioner.


2. Air Dry Only


Never use a blow dryer or direct heat on synthetic fibers (unless it's labeled heat-resistant). Let the wig air dry on a **wig stand** to preserve its shape and avoid tangling.


3. Avoid Heat Styling


Most synthetic wigs aren’t heat-friendly. Keep them away from:


* Curling irons

* Straighteners

* Ovens or open flames

  If it's a heat-resistant synthetic, use low heat only (below 275°F / 135°C) and test a small section first.


4. Detangle with Care


Always use a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush designed for synthetic wigs.


* Start from the ends and work up to the roots.

* Hold the hair with one hand to avoid pulling the cap.

* For curly wigs, finger-detangle to preserve curls.


5. Store Safely


When not in use:


* Place the wig on a wig stand or mannequin head.

* Keep it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and dust.

* Cover with a hairnet or silk scarf to reduce tangling.


6. Say No to Regular Hair Products


Never use regular shampoo, conditioner, or styling products on a synthetic wig. They can damage the fibers and shorten its lifespan.


Use only:


* Wig-specific shampoo/conditioner

* Synthetic wig detangling spray

* Light synthetic-friendly styling sprays


7. Avoid Friction Zones


Friction (from collars, hats, or pillows) can cause tangling and frizzing, especially at the nape. To reduce this:


* Wear silky or smooth-fabric clothing

* Use a satin pillowcase

* Detangle gently after each wear


8. Refresh Between Washes


Use a wig refresher spray or light mist of water + fabric softener (1:5 ratio) to eliminate odors and restore softness between washes.


9. Handle with Clean Hands


Always wash your hands before touching or adjusting your wig to prevent oil and dirt buildup.


10. Rotate Your Wigs


If you wear wigs daily, rotate between 2–3 wigs. This reduces wear and gives each piece time to rest and recover between uses.
