Washing instructions will vary, depending on if your wig is human hair or synthetic. Most
wigs are made of synthetic hair, allowing for the easiest washing and styling. Determine if
your wig is synthetic or human hair and follow the appropriate care instructions below.
SYNTHETIC WIGS:
1 Gently brush the wig thoroughly with a wig brush.
2 Add one tablespoon of wig shampoo to a sink filled with cold water.
3 Immerse wig for one minute and agitate gently. Do not rub.
4 Rinse the wig gently in cold clear water twice or until thoroughly rinsed.
5 Blot the wig gently with a towel. Do not squeeze or wring.
6 Apply conditioning spray very lightly over wig, spraying 10-12 inches from the wig.
7 Allow the wig to air dry on a slender object like a can of hairspray or a shampoo
bottle covered with a hand towel. Styrofoam heads may stretch the cap.
8 Do not use a hair dryer. Air dry only. You may gently style the wig with your
fingertips.
9 Brush wig only when completely dry. Do not allow the wig to dry in direct sunlight.
HUMAN HAIR WIGS:
To achieve a natural appearance and unique color variations, all human hair wigs are
chemically processed. To give your wig the longest life, it is very important to use sulfate-free hair care products that are specifically made for chemically processed hair. To wash
your human hair wig, follow these steps:
10 Detangle the wig using a wig brush or comb. Start at the ends and work upwards to
the base of the cap.
11 Rinse the wig in cold water, with the water flowing in the same direction of the hair
to avoid tangling. Do notsoak your human hair wig in a basin. This will cause the hair
to tangle and mat together.
12 Using your fingertips and phosphate free shampoo specifically for human hair wigs,
distribute the shampoo evenly throughout the hair.
13 Rinse with cold water to remove shampoo. Rinse so that the water is flowing in the
same direction as the hair.
14 Remove excess water by gently patting with a towel. Do not wring or squeeze.
15 Condition the wig with wig conditioner, using your fingertips to distribute the
conditioner evenly throughout the hair.
16 Remove the conditioner by rinsing with cold water. To remove excess water, pat
gently with a soft towel. Do not squeeze or wring. Allow the wig to air dry on a folding
wig stand or a tall can of hairspray.
