Synthetic Wig Care Guide
Synthetic wigs are a stylish, convenient option, but proper care is the key to keeping them looking fresh and lasting longer. Unlike natural hair, synthetic fibers need special attention to maintain their shape, shine, and softness. In this guide, we’ll cover the essential steps and tips for washing, storing, and protecting your synthetic wig so you can enjoy beautiful, natural-looking style every day.
Instructions
1
Brush
Gently brush out any tangles before washing. Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots. Avoid washing wigs or hair pieces while tangled, as it can make them hard or impossible to comb later. Brush only when the wig is dry. We recommend washing once a month.
2
Wash
Fill a bowl with lukewarm water (avoid hot water, as it can cause damage to the wig. Add shampoo to the water and create a lather. Soak the wig for 5 minutes to loosen debris, then gently wash it like delicate fabric. Handle gently and avoid vigorous rubbing. If needed, repeat the wash.
3
Rinse
Rinse with cold water until all shampoo is removed. Always rinse from roots to ends, using only cold or lukewarm water.
4
Condition
Mix a capful of conditioner in lukewarm water and soak the wig for up to 30 minutes. This deep conditioning keeps the fibres soft. No need to rinse - just squeeze out excess water and dab with a towel to dry.
5
Dry
Place the wig on a stand to air dry at room temperature. Keep away from heat sources. Comb and restyle if required.
Helpful Tips
Conditioning
To keep your synthetic wig in top condition, regular conditioning is key. Without it, the fibre can become brittle, break, or cause friction - especially in longer styles. Along with the Step 4 conditioning, we recommend using Fibre Oil Conditioning Spray a few times a week.
Storing
To keep your wig or hairpiece looking its best, use a wig stand. It helps maintain its shape and makes brushing easier. Avoid exposing it to heat, as this can cause damage.
Synthetic wigs can develop fibre friction, especially in longer styles. This happens when fibres rub together during normal movement, creating static that can lead to frizzing or tangling - mainly underneath and at the ends. It’s a normal part of wearing synthetic hair and not a fault.
