Proper wig care ensures its longevity and maintains its appearance. Here's how to keep your wig looking its best:
Storage
-
Use a Wig Stand or Styrofoam Head: This prevents the wig from becoming misshapen and keeps it looking its best. Storing your wig properly helps maintain its shape and style between wears. (Reference: March 28, 2022 note)
-
Avoid Heat Sources: Keep your wig away from direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources. Heat can dry out the fibers, making the wig look dull and brittle. (Reference: March 28, 2022 note)
Pre-Storage Preparation
- Detangle Before Storing: Before putting your wig away, gently brush or comb out any tangles. This prevents matting and makes it easier to style the next time you wear it. (Reference: March 28, 2022 note)
Cleaning (Additional Information)
While the provided reference doesn't detail cleaning, proper cleaning is crucial. Consider these steps:
-
Choose the Right Cleaning Method: Depending on the wig material (synthetic or human hair), use a wig-specific shampoo and conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
-
Gentle Washing: Wash your wig gently using cool or lukewarm water. Avoid vigorous scrubbing.

Air Dry: Always allow your wig to air dry completely on a wig stand. Do not use a hairdryer.
