How to Care for a Human Hair Wig

Keep a human-hair wig manageable with gentle detangling, appropriate washing, conditioning, heat awareness and storage.

Detangle gently

Work in sections and avoid aggressive pulling, especially around lace and knots.

Wash when needed, not by a rigid calendar

Frequency depends on wear, styling products, environment and scalp conditions. Product buildup and tangling are more useful signals than an arbitrary number of days.

Condition the hair, protect the base

Use products suitable for the hair while avoiding heavy buildup around lace or knots unless the manufacturer says otherwise.

Limit unnecessary heat

Heat can alter or damage processed hair. Use appropriate tools, conservative temperatures and the product's own care guidance.

Store without crushing the style

Keep the wig clean, dry and protected from friction, direct heat and deformation.
