How Do I Wash My Wig?

Hey there, wig-wearer! 🌟
If you’ve been asking yourself, “How do I wash my wig without ruining it?” — you’re in the right place. Whether you're a new wig user or just need a refresher, we’re here to make the process easy, safe, and wig-friendly.

Let’s dive into the rinse and repeat of it all!

1. First Things First: What Kind of Wig Do You Have?

Before washing, always check the label.

• Synthetic wigs need cold water and special products.
  
  

• Human hair wigs can handle more like real hair, but still need gentle care.
  
  

2. What You'll Need

• Wig shampoo (not regular shampoo!)
  
  

• Wig conditioner (optional, but recommended)
  
  

• A wide-tooth comb
  
  

• Cold water
  
  

• A towel
  
  

• Wig stand or mannequin head
  
  

3. The Step-by-Step Wig Wash Routine

🧴 Step 1: Detangle
Start with dry hair. Use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle from the ends upward. Be kind—no yanking!

🛁 Step 2: Prepare the Bath
Fill a basin or sink with cold water. Add a capful of wig shampoo and swirl it in.

🌀 Step 3: Soak the Wig
Submerge the wig in the water and let it soak for 5-10 minutes.
💡 Don't rub, twist, or scrub—it can damage the fibers.

🚿 Step 4: Rinse Gently
Lift the wig out and rinse under cold water, letting it run from roots to tips.

💧 Step 5: Condition (Optional)
Apply wig conditioner and let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse again with cold water.

🧻 Step 6: Pat Dry
Place the wig on a towel and gently pat it dry. Never wring it out.

🌀 Step 7: Air Dry
Place the wig on a stand and let it air dry completely—no heat tools unless your wig is heat-safe.

4. Pro Wig Care Tips

• Always use wig-specific products.
  
  

• Never brush a wet wig—wait until it’s completely dry.
  
  

• Keep it on a wig stand to maintain shape and avoid tangling.
