How to Store Your Curly Wig?

Published in Wig Care 2 mins read

To keep your curly wig looking its best, gently cover it with a hair net and then store it on a wig stand or flat in a satin bag or its original box.

Here's a breakdown of how to properly store your curly wig to maintain its shape and prevent tangling:

Storing Your Curly Wig: A Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Detangle Gently: Before storing, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently remove any tangles. Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots.
  2. Secure the Curls: This step is crucial for maintaining the wig's style.
    • Hair Net: Gently place a hair net over the wig. This helps keep the curls defined and prevents frizz.
  3. Choose Your Storage Method: You have two primary options:
    • Wig Stand: A wig stand is ideal for maintaining the wig's shape and allowing it to air out. Place the wig on the stand, ensuring it's securely positioned. This method is preferable if you have the space.
    • Flat Storage: If you lack space, you can store the wig flat.
      • Satin Bag/Original Box: A satin bag or the box your wig came in provides a safe and protective environment. The satin minimizes friction and prevents tangling.
      • Proper Placement: Lay the wig flat inside the bag or box, ensuring the curls are not crushed or bent unnaturally.

Benefits of Proper Wig Storage:

  • Maintains Curl Pattern: Prevents curls from losing their definition or becoming matted.
  • Reduces Tangling and Frizz: Minimizes friction, which leads to tangling and frizz.
  • Extends Wig Lifespan: Proper storage protects the wig fibers, prolonging its usability.
  • Preserves Style: Keeps the wig ready to wear with minimal restyling.

By following these steps, you can ensure your curly wig stays in excellent condition and is always ready to wear!
