A well-crafted wig is more than an accessory, it is an investment in confidence, elegance, and personal style. At our salon, we understand that premium wigs deserve thoughtful care. With the right routine, your wig can retain its softness, shine, and natural movement for an extended period of time.
Proper wig care not only protects the hair itself, but also preserves the craftsmanship behind each piece. From washing and styling to storage and daily handling, every step matters. This guide was created to help you maintain the beauty and quality of your wig between salon visits.
Understand Your Wig
Every wig is designed differently, and understanding its construction is the foundation of proper care.
Human Hair Wigs
Crafted from high-quality human hair, these wigs offer unmatched realism and flexibility. They can be washed, heat-styled, and parted just like natural hair. Because they behave like real hair, they also require moisture, gentle products, and careful handling to prevent dryness and breakage.
Synthetic Wigs
Synthetic wigs are expertly styled to hold their shape with minimal effort. They are ideal for clients who prefer consistency and ease. These wigs should be protected from heat and treated delicately to preserve their finish and structure.
Washing Your Wig
Clean hair is the foundation of a polished appearance. However, overwashing can reduce the lifespan of your wig.
- Human hair wigs should be washed after 7–10 wears
- Synthetic wigs should be washed after 10–15 wears
Our Recommended Washing Method
- Gently detangle the wig using a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends
- Fill a basin with cool or lukewarm water and add a wig-safe shampoo
- Submerge the wig and move it softly through the water—never scrub or twist
- Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear
- Apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends only, avoiding the cap
- Rinse carefully and gently press out excess water
- Pat dry with a towel and place the wig on a stand to air-dry naturally
Allowing the wig to dry undisturbed helps maintain its shape and texture.
Styling With Care
Styling should enhance your wig, not strain it. For human hair wigs, always use low to moderate heat and apply a heat protectant beforehand. Limit heat styling to when it is truly needed, as excessive heat can weaken the hair over time.
Synthetic wigs should never be exposed to high heat unless they are specifically labeled as heat-friendly. Instead, use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to gently refine the style.
Avoid styling the wig while it is wet, as hair is most vulnerable in this state.
Daily Maintenance
Daily care plays a major role in how long your wig maintains its refined appearance.
- Detangle gently before and after each wear
- Remove your wig before sleeping or resting
- Minimize friction from scarves, coats, and rough fabrics
- Use lightweight products sparingly to avoid buildup
These small habits help prevent tangling and maintain a smooth finish.
Proper Storage
When your wig is not being worn, correct storage is essential. Place it on a wig stand or mannequin head to help preserve its shape. Store it in a cool, clean space away from direct sunlight and humidity.
For travel, a satin or silk bag provides added protection and reduces friction during transport.
When to Seek Professional Care
Even with proper at-home maintenance, professional care is recommended from time to time. Salon services such as deep conditioning, restyling, or custom cutting can refresh your wig and restore its original elegance.
Our specialists are always available to assess your wig and provide tailored care based on its condition and your lifestyle.
Our Final Word
Luxury wigs deserve intentional care. With mindful handling and the right routine, your wig will continue to look polished, soft, and effortlessly beautiful. When in doubt, trust professional hands to keep your investment at its best.
