How To Take Care Of Your Wig

by Vincent Wallace

If you choose to purchase a wig, chances are good that you are going to spend a great deal of time choosing the wig that is the perfect color, texture, and style for you. You are also likely going to spend a decent amount of money on making sure that it is a good quality wig and suits your personality. In order to make sure that your time and money are not wasted, you are going to want to do everything that you can to keep your wig looking amazing for as long as possible. Here are some care tips for your wig to extend its life.

1. Wash It Regularly

The first thing that you want to do is make sure that you wash your wig regularly. This will allow you to make sure that excess particles and dirt do not build up on the wig and make it difficult to wear or accidentally cause hairs to be pulled out. In order to keep your wig looking full and un-oily, you are going to want to first get rid of any twigs or leaves that might have founds its way in by combing out the wig.

Then, you are going to want to fill a large bowl with a full tablespoon of special wig shampoo. Place your wig inside the bowl and push it down to immerse it completely. For one minute, shake the bowl in order to allow the wig shampoo to thoroughly mix with the water and with the wig. Do not rub the wig or else you could risk having hairs fall out. Remove the wig from the bowl.

Finally, take the wig out of the bowl and rinse it under a gentle stream of water until all of the soap has been removed. Allow your wig to dry completely before wearing it.

2. Keep Your Wig Out of Direct Sunlight When It Is Drying

When you allow your wig to dry, make sure that you keep it out of direct sunlight. This is important because after the wig has been washed, it is going to be more vulnerable from bleaching from the sun until it is dry again. If you leave your wig in direct sunlight, you are going to find that it is a few shades lighter than you prefer. This is going to require you to get an entirely new wig because it is difficult to die a wig since they are so fragile.

3. Use a Wig Stand

Finally, whenever you are not wearing your wig, make sure you store it using a stand. This includes when you are allowing it to dry. If you do not do this, your wig might become pressed on one side and have an unusual shape that will be difficult to remove.
