Wigs

Styling a wig is a creative process that allows you to express yourself and transform your appearance. If you want to achieve a sleek, polished look or embrace a wild, untamed style, a wig can help transform your usual look. Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for wigs to detangle the wig gently. Start from the tips and work your way up to avoid damaging the hair fibres. For heat-resistant wigs, you can use a low-heat hair straightener or curling iron to style the wig as desired. Remember to use heat-protectant products to prevent damage. For synthetic wigs, use wig-friendly styling products and your fingers or a wig comb to create your preferred look.

Caring for a synthetic wig is essential to maintain its appearance and longevity. Avoid exposing the wig to excessive heat sources, such as ovens and open flames, as synthetic fibres can melt. To clean your wig, use wig-specific shampoos and conditioners, following the manufacturer's instructions. Gently comb out any tangles before washing. After washing, allow the wig to air dry on a wig stand to maintain its shape. Avoid wringing out excess water or using a hairdryer, as this can damage the synthetic fibres. When not in use, store your synthetic wig on a wig stand in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Properly storing your wigs is crucial to preserve their shape and quality. Invest in a wig stand or a mannequin head to maintain the wig's form when not in use. Avoid stacking wigs on top of each other, as this can lead to flattening and deformities. Store your wigs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity. If you plan to store a wig for an extended period, consider placing it in a breathable storage bag or box to protect it from dust and potential pests. Regularly checking and maintaining your wigs during storage ensures they are ready for your next adventure.

Cleaning your wig is an essential part of its maintenance routine. Begin by detangling the wig gently using a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush. Then, fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of wig-specific shampoo. Immerse the wig in the water, swish it around gently, and let it soak for a few minutes. Avoid rubbing or wringing the wig, as this can damage the fibres. Rinse the wig thoroughly with cool water until all the shampoo is removed. Apply a wig-specific conditioner, avoiding the wig cap, and let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse again with cool water. Gently blot the wig with a clean, dry towel to remove excess moisture, and place it on a wig stand to air dry.
