Human Hair Wigs Maintenance Tips
1. Cleaning your wig:
Shampoo and condition your human hair wig at least once 1-6 times a month depending on how
often you wear it. Make sure to use luke warm to cool water.
2. Air Dry Your Hair Wig
Avoid using blow dryers if possible. Instead allow your wig to air dry. This will help to prevent
breakage and shedding.
3. Invest in a wig comb or brush
Invest in a steel or metal wide tooth comb. If you have a curly textured wig, try finger combing
instead. Always start combing or brushing from the ends and work your way up to the roots.
Never the other way around.

4. Avoid Hair Spray and Heavy Styling Products
Avoid hairspray, gels, pomades and heavy products on your hair wig. It may make the hair very
oily and hard to style.
5. Shedding
Shedding is normal. However, excessive shedding is a major problem. If necessary, seal your
wefts and/or secure the knots on the lace frontal by using a sealant.
6. Storing Your Wig
Properly storing your wig is a must. You should either place your human hair wig in the original
packaging when you’re not wearing it, or use a wig stand. I like to store my wigs on a mannequin
head with the hair in a bonnet or silk scarf. This helps to keep the wig styled, soft and well-
conditioned.
These easy to use tips can help you save your human hair wig and keep it in excellent condition. What
are some of your favorite ways to keep your wigs intact? I would love to hear from you.
