Follow The Correct Procedure For Washing Human Hair Wigs
1. Detangle your human hair wig with a comb:
Before doing anything else, use the right detangling method depending on the texture of the hair. Curly textures(deep wave, water wave, deep curly, kinky curly, etc.) require more care than straight or body wave textures. Use your fingers to comb sections of the hair with a light conditioner or Moroccan oil to detangle. Using fine combs is not recommended for detangling the curly textures. Comb the wig or bundle from the bottom to the middle to the top gently to remove the tangles.

2. When washing your wig with shampoo, avoid rubbing it to prevent tangling, which would damage your hair. Instead, when washing it, lather a small amount of soap in your hands and gently work the shampoo through the strands and base until thoroughly saturated, always keeping the hair going in the same direction.

3. Rinse to remove the soap: Rinse your hair with cool water, always running the water in the direction of the hair (from top to bottom) until the shampoo is completely removed.

4. Condition your hair: Repeat the same process with the conditioner except remember to avoid the roots of the hair as over-conditioning can cause the knots to loosen over time.

5. Dry the hair: Using a clean towel, blot the wig dry. For curly wigs hang the wig upside down the neck part of the wig facing up. Allow the wig to air dry in a cool, dry environment. Never wear your wig wet.

6. Human hair wigs need moisture to maintain their softness as they lack the natural oils produced by our scalps that hair needs. Therefore, it is essential to use a natural oil product to moisturize your wig after washes. Argon oil is fantastic at keeping the hair strands moisturized and soft.
