Medical Wigs

Taking proper care of your human hair medical wig is essential to ensure its longevity and maintain its natural appearance. Here are some tips to help you keep your wig looking its best:

1. Washing Your Wig

To keep your human hair wig clean, wash it regularly but not too frequently. We recommend washing it every 8-10 wears, or when it begins to feel oily or dirty. Use a mild sulfate-free shampoo to gently cleanse the wig. Avoid harsh rubbing and instead, gently lather and rinse with cool water to preserve the wig's softness and shine.

2. Conditioning

Conditioning is crucial for human hair wigs to maintain moisture and softness. Use a deep conditioning treatment or a leave-in conditioner to keep the hair hydrated. Apply the conditioner evenly throughout the wig, focusing on the ends. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and avoid applying conditioner to the roots to prevent build-up.

3. Drying Your Wig

After washing, gently blot the wig with a towel to remove excess water. Never wring out the wig, as this can cause damage. For the best results, allow the wig to air dry on a wig stand or mannequin head. If you need to speed up the drying process, you can use a blow dryer on a low heat setting, but make sure to use a heat protectant spray to prevent heat damage.

4. Styling Your Wig

Human hair wigs can be styled with heat tools just like natural hair. You can use flat irons, curling irons, or blow dryers, but always make sure to use a heat protectant spray to avoid damaging the fibers. Be cautious not to overuse heat, as excessive styling can cause the wig to lose its texture and shine.

5. Storing Your Wig

When you're not wearing your wig, store it properly to maintain its shape and prevent tangling. Use a wig stand, mannequin head, or a soft bag to store the wig. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity to avoid fading or damage to the hair.

6. Preventing Tangling

To prevent tangling, use a wide-tooth comb or a special wig brush to gently detangle your wig. Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots. Regular brushing will keep the wig looking smooth and manageable, especially if you wear it daily.

7. Protecting Your Wig While Sleeping

If you wear your wig while sleeping, consider wrapping it with a silk or satin scarf to minimize friction and prevent tangling. You can also use a satin pillowcase to help reduce hair breakage and frizz.

By following these maintenance tips, you can ensure your human hair medical wig stays in excellent condition and continues to provide a natural, stylish appearance for an extended period.
