How to clean wigs

We need to prepare the following items: wig, shampoo, conditioner, dry towel, comb, and a basin of water.

1. Before cleaning the wig, in order to make it smoother, we first hang the wig down the hair thread, and then choose a wooden comb with thinner hair teeth to comb and comb the wig. Remember not to use steel combs, plastic combs, etc. to prevent static electricity from causing knots.
2. Secondly, the wig cover inside should be exposed to better clean the wig. It should be flipped from the inside out.
3. Pour warm water at around 20-30 degrees Celsius into the basin. To protect the hair from overheating, soak the wig in warm water for a few minutes first. Do not soak the wig for a long time to avoid deformation or even shedding.
4. Next, add a few drops of shampoo to the basin, stir by hand until slightly foamy, and then put in the wig. Clean it step by step in the direction of the wig by pressing, and the technique must be gentle. Do not use rubbing or machine washing to prevent the wig from falling off. After washing, wash with a few more pots of clean water.
5. Add an appropriate amount of conditioner to the fully rinsed wig, soak for a few minutes, and at this point, the conditioner has already melted into the hair. You can easily comb the wig smoothly with a comb, and gently rub it from the tip of the hair in water until each hair is clean.
6. Take out the hair that has been washed 2 to 3 times, wrap it in a clean towel, gently press it, then flip the towel over and press the other side until no water drips. Place it on a stand specifically designed for placing the wig, let the wig hang down, and let it dry naturally in a cool and ventilated place. Do not use a hair dryer or external force to dry it to avoid damaging the wig.
7. Do not comb synthetic fiber wigs while they are still in a dry state, as this can affect the fluffiness of the wig. However, there is a type of wig that can be combed in a semi wet state, which is a wig that combines synthetic fibers with human hair. So when the wig is completely dry, gently comb it with a wooden comb.
8. In order to maintain the gloss of the wig, spray the hair spray on the dry wig. The wig maintained in this way is both soft and bright.
It is best to clean the wig once a week, which can effectively prevent the infection of the scalp caused by sweating and stuffiness.
