Ways To Keep Your Wig Silky And Shiny by keikei69b: 6:10pm On Mar 29, 2023
Even the most beautiful hand-crafted human hair wigs can lose their shine if not properly maintained and cared for. After all, those strands are sitting on top of your head, vulnerable to many variables, including your own sweat and the outside climate. Keeping your wig healthy will avoid breakage and keep it looking good. It doesn't take much effort or money to keep your wig in good condition. If you follow these simple principles, your unit will stay silky smooth and last you for as long a time as possible.


Wash it Before Wearing it

How can you keep your wig's silky look? You must prioritize washing it after receiving it. Wash it before wearing it removes any debris and dirt that may have deposited during the handling process. This maintains moisture while also maintaining its structure.

Washing your wig in cold water with a light moisturizing shampoo will keep the color bright and prevent breakage. If it’s a colored wig, be sure to use color-safe shampoo to prevent color bleeding. This method keeps the hair color intact for as long as possible. This is the most effective approach to keep the color bright.


Leave-in conditioners and hair sprays are great for wig protection.

Leave-in conditioner and hair spray should be applied in a well-ventilated location. Use leave-in conditioner first, then hair spray. Also use detangling sprays when necessary. They can be used on synthetic or human hair wigs of all different textures. Stores like Nubian Princess Hair Shop sell these wig goods in both human and synthetic hair.

After applying the product downward, use a wide-toothed comb to distribute it evenly. This lets you assess product distribution while ensuring uniform dispersion. If you wear multiple wigs, this process will work for them no matter the texture or length.


Store Wig on a Wig Stand or Form When not in Use

Keep your wig on a head form while not in use to maintain it in good condition. After taking it off, put it on a wig stand to prevent it from being tangled or damaged. This will also prevent it from getting dirty or dusty while being stored for the next occasion. Keeping your unit in an area with good airflow will maintain its condition.

The easiest approach to keep your wig looking new is to store it properly. Polypropylene boxes and bags attract moisture, causing mildew on wigs. Instead, store wigs in cotton or paper containers. This keeps them fresher longer. If you don't have a mannequin head, just put your wigs on stands out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources like radiators or window sills, where they could overheat and dry out.
If you follow the simple recommendations above, your hairpiece will stay shiny and smooth for as long as possible.

Conclusion

Take care of your wig to keep it silky and lustrous. This makes your unit last longer. First wash the unit before wearing it and use a conditioner. Repeat until desired result is obtained. Leave-in conditioners and hair sprays help protect them during daily use from heat sources like curling irons and blow dryers. This prevents heat damage and encourages a healthy sheen. Store your wig on a headstand while not in use. Air will travel around the fibers, keeping the hair fresh while preventing mold. This will ensure that when you are ready to wear your wig, you can just throw it on, style it and go. Plus adding some accessories from a store like Luxana Bags & Accessories will finish off your hairstyle with a bang!
