🔍 Step-by-step guide to washing a wig

1. Attach your wig to a suitable stand

Before you start washing, make sure your wig is securely attached to a rubber head or stable stand . This prevents tangles and damage .

2. Position your wig correctly

Place your wig fixed on its stand in a sink , shower or bathtub to properly control the flow of water.

3. Detangle before wetting

Use a wig brush to detangle your hair before wetting it. This will prevent further tangles during washing.

4. Wet the wig

Gently run your wig under warm running water , making sure it is completely soaked.

5. Apply a suitable shampoo

Take a generous dose of special shampoo for natural hair wigs , distribute it between your hands and apply it in a downward motion , from roots to ends. 📌 Tip: Do not rub to avoid tangling!

6. Rinse thoroughly

Rinse with warm water , making sure to remove all shampoo . Use smooth, continuous strokes .

7. Apply a moisturizer

Use a specific conditioner , applying it to the lengths and ends only (never to the roots). Leave on for 2-3 minutes before combing gently for even distribution.

8. Rinse one last time

Rinse the conditioner thoroughly , keeping the same downward motions to avoid tangling.

9. Remove excess water

Gently pat dry with a clean towel without rubbing. Add a drop of hair serum to moisturize hair.

10. Natural drying recommended

Preferably air dry . However, to preserve the base of the wig, use a hair dryer on the roots for 1-2 minutes .
