Care for your
human-hair wig.
Practical tips for keeping your human-hair wig looking and feeling its best between salon services.
Small habits make a difference.
Human-hair wigs benefit from thoughtful handling and suitable products. Always follow your wig manufacturer's instructions, especially for specialist bases, adhesives and delicate lace fronts.
How often should a wig be washed?
There is no single schedule that suits everyone. Frequency depends on how regularly the wig is worn, styling products, scalp oils, environmental exposure and the manufacturer's advice. Wash when needed rather than following an inflexible timetable.
Brush gently
Detangle carefully from the ends towards the roots, using a suitable brush or wide-tooth comb while supporting the hair and avoiding unnecessary tension around the base.
Use suitable products
Choose products recommended for your type of human-hair wig. Avoid harsh treatments, excessive friction and heavy product build-up.
Dry and store correctly
Follow the wig maker's recommendations for washing, drying and storage. Allow the cap and base to dry completely before wearing or storing, and avoid direct high heat unless your wig has been confirmed suitable for heat styling.
When professional care can help
If your wig feels heavy, less manageable or difficult to style, a professional wash and restyle can help refresh its appearance. Seek advice first if the wig is fragile or damaged.
