How To Care For A Curly Human Hair Wig

Wash Your Wig Regularly

Washing your wig is one of the most important steps when it comes to caring for your curly human hair wig. It’s best to wash your wig every 7-10 wears, or at least once a month. When washing your wig, use a mild sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for wigs. Put some shampoo in your palm and massage it into your wig’s strands in a downward motion. Rinse your wig with lukewarm water, or cool water if you want to help it keep its curl pattern. Once you’ve rinsed out all the shampoo, add some conditioner to the wig and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it out. Then, pat your wig dry with a towel and let it air dry.

Trim Your Wig Regularly

Trimming your wig regularly is essential to keeping it looking its best. If your wig is a curly style, you’ll want to have it trimmed every 4-8 weeks. This will help keep the ends looking healthy and prevent split ends from forming. When trimming your wig, make sure you’re using sharp scissors that are specifically designed for cutting hair. Start by sectioning your wig into small pieces and snipping off any split ends or straggly strands. Don’t trim too much off at once, as you can always trim more off later if needed.

Store Your Wig Properly

Storing your wig properly is an important part of caring for it. When you’re not wearing your wig, make sure you store it on a wig stand or foam head. This will help keep it from getting tangled or matted. You can also use a wig bag or box to store your wig in when you’re not wearing it. If you need to travel with your wig, make sure to store it in a wig bag or box to keep it safe.

Style Your Wig Carefully

When it comes to styling your wig, it’s important to be gentle. Avoid using hot tools, as this can damage the hair. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your wig and add a light-hold hairspray to help keep your style in place. You can also use a blow dryer on a low setting to help give your wig some extra volume. If you’re looking for a more defined curl pattern, you can use curl-defining products like mousse or curl cream.

Avoid Heat and Sun Exposure

Heat and sun exposure can be damaging to your wig, so it’s best to avoid them if possible. If you do need to use a blow dryer or hot styling tools, make sure you’re using the lowest setting possible. You should also avoid wearing your wig in direct sunlight or any other hot environment, as this can cause the hair to become dry and brittle. If you’re going to be outside for an extended period of time, consider wearing a hat or scarf to protect your wig from the sun.
