Maintenance methods vary slightly depending on the type of synthetic wig, but all methods are designed to reduce damage and breakage. Therefore, proper care is required to keep you and your wig looking great.Therefore, we wanted to share some important love and care tips here to protect your synthetic wig.

1. What are synthetic wigs?

Unlike human hair, synthetic wigs are made of man-made fibers. The goal with synthetic wigs is to give them the look and feel of real hair, but without the high price.The synthetic wigs currently on the market are very good, require relatively little effort to style, clean, and store, and are relatively inexpensive. Unless you look for them carefully, you can't tell them apart from human hair. Synthetic wigs are low maintenance.

2. How often should wash the synthetic wigs

You should wash your synthetic wigs after 30 wears or every 4-6 weeks. The correct way to wash a synthetic wig is simple! With proper care and maintenance, a synthetic wig can be "restored" to its original style

Here are washing instructions to keep synthetic wigs looking great:

• Wet the Wig：Gently wet the wig with warm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can damage synthetic fibers. Allow the water to run down the wig to prevent tangling.
• Apply Shampoo：Pour a small amount of wig shampoo into your hands and mix with water. Apply evenly to the wig. Gently rub the shampoo into the fibers, especially where there is dirt and buildup.
• Rinse Thoroughly：Rinse the wig under cold running water until all the shampoo is out. Make sure no shampoo remains, as it can ruin the look and feel of the wig.
• Care for the Wig：Once the wig is completely dry, gently shake the wig and it will be back to a wearable shape. Using a spray conditioner will add shine to the fibers, keeping synthetic fibers soft and manageable.
• Final Rinse：Rinse the wig again with cold water to remove any remaining conditioner. Gently pat the wig with a towel to remove excess water.

Notes:Do not brush the wig while the fibers are wet. For short hair, air dry the wig on a wig stand or lay flat on a towel. For medium-length and curly hair, lay the wig flat on a towel to air dry.

3. What's the best way to keep your wig shiny and healthy?

• Always use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush when combing your wig. We strongly recommend combing your synthetic wig from the ends, gently removing any tangles, and then working your way to the ends.
• Always comb your wig when you put it on and always comb it when you take it off.

Note: Synthetic wig spray is effective in preventing tangles and frizz while making your wig shiny and manageable.

4. What the tips to keep synthetic wigs looking beautiful?

• Make sure your synthetic wig is stored properly when not being worn. Using a wig stand is the preferred method. Longer wigs can be hung or laid flat on a surface.
• Be careful when wearing a synthetic wig or hairpiece in a hot area (such as a hot oven, fireplace or barbecue) as the heat can damage the fibers and cause them to frizz.
• For longer wigs, it is best to lay the synthetic wig on a flat surface and comb it from the bottom up. This will help protect the fibers and prevent them from being pulled out of the wig cap.

NOTE: Never fold a wig or hairpiece and put it in a box or plastic bag (except when traveling).

5. How to change the wigs style be?

The styling possibilities for synthetic wigs are endless.Wigs are best styled using a wire brush designed for synthetic wigs, a wire comb, or your fingers. Gently lifting with a brush can add height. Combing can also add fullness. To return a wig to its basic style, simply brush it thoroughly, clean it, and allow it to air dry.

6. Can a hair blow dryer be used on synthetic wigs?

For most synthetic wigs, hair dryers should never be used as they may damage the synthetic fibers. Heat styling tools should not be used unless synthetic wigs is specifically labeled as being made of "heat-resistant fibers.

7. Can swim or shower in your Synthetic wigs?

We do not recommend wearing your synthetic wig while showering or swimming. Wigs can become extremely tangled and knotted when worn in the shower or pool. Trying to remove a tangled wig may cause the synthetic wig to become damaged or break. Pool chemicals and salt water can damage wig fibers and cause them to break down quickly, shortening the life of the wig. Chemical reactions can also cause wig discoloration.

Pro Tip: If you want to cover your head while showering or swimming, you can utilize shower caps and swim caps to protect your scalp.

8. Can sleep in your Synthetic Wigs?

We do not recommend sleeping with your synthetic wig on.The friction between the synthetic wig and the pillow can cause the synthetic wig to tangle and knot, and the life of the synthetic wig will be greatly shortened.If you must wear your synthetic wig while lying down, we recommend using a silk pillowcase to reduce friction on the synthetic hair. Silk pillowcases are gentle on the scalp, so they are also a good choice when fragile hair is growing back.
