- Wash Gently: Choose a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner meant for human hair wigs. Clean it using cool water and be careful not to rub it too hard. Before washing, untangle it gently with a wide-tooth comb.
- Dry Properly: After washing, pat the wig with a towel to remove excess water, then let it air dry on a wig stand to keep its shape. Try to avoid heat styling tools unless you have to, and if you do use them, make sure to apply a heat protectant.
- Regularly: Regularly detangle with a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush to detangle the hair gently. Start from the ends and work your way up, being careful not to pull too hard.
- Keep It Moisturized: To keep the hair wet and help avoid tangles, use a wig spray or a mild leave-in conditioner.
- Reduce Friction: Use a satin pillowcase or a satin or silk scarf to reduce friction while you sleep.
- Limit Styling Products: It’s best to avoid heavy gels or sprays, as they can cause buildup that might lead to tangling and shedding.
- Consider Professional Care: Periodically, have your wig cleaned and styled by a professional to help maintain its quality.
By following these tips, you can help your wig stay smooth and natural for a longer time.
