A 100% human hair wig is an investment. With the right routine it can look great for well over a year. Start with these five habits.
1. Detangle before washing
Always brush gently from the ends upward before water touches the hair. This prevents knots from setting in.
2. Use sulfate-free products
Sulfates strip moisture. Use a gentle shampoo and a deep conditioner made for human hair wigs.
3. Air dry, don’t rub
Pat dry with a towel and let it air dry on a stand. Avoid vigorous rubbing that frizzes the cuticle.
4. Store on a wig stand
Keep its shape and avoid tangles by storing it on a stand away from direct sunlight.
5. Limit heat and bleach
Human hair tolerates heat and color, but overuse dries it out. Use a heat protectant and space out any lightening sessions.
