How to care for and maintain wigs
Dear friends, today we are going to talk about a very interesting and practical topic - how to care for and maintain wigs! Yes, you heard that right, we're talking about all those amazing things that make our hair look thicker and prettier. So, how can you keep your wig in tip-top condition? Let me reveal the answer for you.
First, we need to know what the wig is made of. There are three kinds of wigs on the market: human hair, chemical fiber hair and mixed hair. Human hair wigs are the closest material to our natural hair, so it is relatively complicated to care for. Synthetic and hybrid wigs are relatively easy to manage. However, no matter what kind of wig, we need to carry out proper care and maintenance to ensure its service life and beauty.
1. Shampoo: For human hair wigs, it is recommended to clean them every 2-3 months. Use specialized wig shampoos or mild shampoos, and avoid shampoos that contain sulfates, which can damage the fibers of your wig. During the hair washing process, gently massage the scalp with your fingers and avoid rubbing hard to avoid damaging the wig. After shampooing, you can use conditioner for hair care, but be careful not to apply the conditioner to the root of the wig, so as not to affect the fit of the wig. Finally, rinse with clean water, place the wig on a towel and gently pat it to absorb excess water.
2. Combing: Before and after shampooing, comb with a special wig comb. Start at the top of your head and brush slowly in the direction of hair growth, avoiding pulling hard. When combing, you can use hair care oil or leave-in conditioner for the wig to maintain the shine and smoothness of the wig.
3. Storage: When not wearing the wig, put the wig in a ventilated and dry place to avoid direct sunlight and damp environment. The wig can be placed on a wig holder to maintain its shape. In addition, pay attention to regularly clean the wig rack, so as not to pollute the wig with dust and dirt.
4. Wear: When wearing the wig, avoid winding the hair around the root of the wig to avoid damaging the fiber of the wig. At the same time, it is necessary to choose a fake hair net cover suitable for your head type to ensure the comfort and stability of wearing. When removing the wig, you should also gently remove it from the scalp and avoid pulling hard.
5. Regular inspection: to regularly check the quality and condition of the wig, if it is found to be falling off, knotted or damaged, it should be repaired in time. If the wig is not worn for a long time, it should also be taken out to air regularly to maintain its softness and elasticity.
