 Wigs require maintenance if you want them to last a long time.

It is critical to look after your wigs because you have spent a significant amount of money on a high-quality human wig.

Here are some hair care tips to help you keep your hair looking as good as new.

First of all, you need to;

1. Identify the difference between a  human hair wig and a synthetic hair wig

As you’re comparing wig quality, you’ll find that there are many different options, including synthetic wigs, human hair wigs, and wigs that are a combination of the two.

Each kind of wig has pros and cons and varies in price, the most important thing is to find a wig you like that also meets your needs.

2. Use special shampoo, conditioner, and wig comb

When you are buying products to clean your wigs, you should be knowledgeable about the shampoo and conditioner you are going to use by purchasing products that are not too harsh depending on your wig.

Also, to minimize tangling, always brush the wig before washing it.

Wash the wig in warm water with a sulfate-free shampoo, taking care not to scrunch the hair as this will cause tangling.

Don't brush wigs with a tight curl. Instead, use your fingers to gently remove tangles or brush only when wet, with a wide-toothed comb.

2. Take it to a professional

It is better to take it to a professional since there are many people that specialize in hairstyling and this may even save you time and energy.

3. Cover your wigs and put them in a safe place]

Whenever you are not using it, make sure that your wig is kept or stored in a mannequin or a hook so that it is in an upright position, as it doesn't get tangled. Then cover it to avoid dust.

4.  Never sleep or shower with your wigs

It is not good to sleep wearing a wig because the lifespan of the weave gets significantly reduced. When we sleep, the friction between hair and the pillow can force the wig to deal with frizziness, tangles, and dryness.

5. Take care of your own hair too

Always have your hair cleaned and conditioned and always make sure that your hair is braided never forget to use a cap just to keep it clean.
