5 Ways to care for your wigs

A wig is an essential beauty product that almost every woman owns today.

5 Ways to care for your wigs

Wigs help protect the hair and save you from the unnecessary stress of making your hair every time.

It's important to take care of your wigs in shape and make it last a long time.

Here are some ways you can care for your wigs:

1) Know the difference between human wigs and synthetic wigs: When you get a wig, try to identify if it's a human wig or a synthetic wig. Human wigs are soft and shinny, and its very durable, unlike synthetic wigs, which are not versatile. Human wigs are more resistant to damage than synthetic wigs.

2) Brush your wigs regularly: Use a wig comb to brush your wigs often. It will make it last longer, especially if it's a synthetic wig. Make sure you're extra careful when brushing the wig so as not to rip it. Gently brush it and don't brush it when it's wet.

3) Don't over-wash your wigs: You should wash your wig every two weeks, depending on how you wear it. Washing your wigs too often will make them get worn out quickly. Also, use a special shampoo and conditioner to wash your wigs because the regular conditioners and shampoos contain chemicals that can damage your wigs.

4) Store your wigs on a wig stand: Storing your wigs on a wig stand will help it maintain its shape and also keep it from tangling or getting dirty. It will also make it easier for you to style your wigs. You can also cover it with nylon to avoid dust.

5) Don't use human hair spray on your wigs: Avoid using human hair spray on your wigs because it can make the wig greasy and easily tangled. You should only use shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, and other styling products that are synthetic-safe.

6) Don't sleep or shower with your wig: Don't go into the shower with your wig and also avoid sleeping with your wig. Sleeping with your wigs can get it tangled, and that can reduce the lifespan of your wigs.
