Posted on Tuesday, 21st May, 2019

It is important to properly care for your human hair wig in order to achieve maximum lifespan and the best appearance. Maintaining and washing your human hair wig is not difficult; it just requires attention and gentle care. Most human hair wigs are made with hair that has been dyed and chemically processed in order to remove the cuticle. Human hair wigs must be handled gently as these processed make the hair more fragile.

What you will need: Wig brush, human hair shampoo and conditioner, towel, wig sand and a hairdryer

To keep your human hair wig looking beautiful for longer you'll want to make sure you follow these easy steps.

1. Gently brush the wig to remove the tangles. Start at the tips then work towards the roots to prevent the knots compacting.
   TIP: start at the ends and work towards the roots to decrease shedding.
2. Mix human hair shampoo to cool water. Place the wig in the basin and gently stroke the water through the hair in a downward motion. Don't scrub the hair as this will cause knotting and damage. Leave to soak for 5-6 minutes.
   TIP: never rub, twist or wring your human hair wig.
3. Rinse with fresh water. Gently stroking the hair in a downward motion. Don't rub, scrub or wring.
   TIP: let the water flow in the same direction of the hair to avoid tangling.
4. Gently apply human hair conditioner through the wig and leave for 5-10 minutes.
   TIP: never rub, twist or wring your wig.
5. Rinse with fresh cool water. Gently stroking the hair in a downward motion. Don't rub, scrub or wring.

   TIP: never twist or wring your human hair wig.
