How To Blow Dry Human Hair Wigs

How to dry the wig after washing? Can I blow it directly with the hot air of the hair dryer? Be aware that a wig has a limited lifespan and may be shortened if not handled properly. But if it is maintained properly, it can prolong its life. The wig can dry out easily because it loses the nourishment of the scalp's natural oils. If you wear it for a long time, knots and irritability will appear. So after washing the wig, be sure to dry it carefully. Otherwise your wig will become more and more frizzy. In this article, we'll discuss how to properly dry your human hair wig after washing.

How to blow dry the human hair wig after washing?

Dry towel

After washing the wig, cover the wig with a dry towel first, then press the towel against the hair to absorb as much moisture as possible. You don't want to start blow-drying your wig while it's still wet because it will take you longer and wet hair won't take on any shape you want anyway.

Comb

Once the wig is blotted dry and no longer dripping, use a wide-toothed comb or special wig brush to quickly and gently detangle the wig. It is best to spray leave-in conditioner on the wig, which can better protect the wig.

Hair dryer

It is best not to blow the wig with the hot air of the hair dryer, which will easily cause the hair to dry, and even shorten the life of the wig, leading to wig hair loss and so on. To keep your wig from heat damage, try not to use a hair dryer. It is best to let it dry naturally. If you want to dry your wig quickly and have to use a hair dryer, in order to minimize damage to your wig, you can spray heat protection spray on your wig before drying to protect your wig. It is best to choose the cool air mode of the hair dryer. At the same time, when drying your wig, you should blow it in the direction of the wig so as not to make the wig hair too messy.

Clip the hair at the top of the wig so the nape of the neck is exposed. Part hair into sections no wider than the width of a round brush so you have complete control over your hair and drying process. With one hand, place the hair in the brush, as close to the roots as possible, and with the other hand, aim the blow dryer at the brush, blowing down the hair in the direction of the cuticle. Plus, working in smaller sections will ensure you remove all the moisture. Once completely dry, blow dry one last time, this time with the Cool Shot button. This helps seal the cuticle and locks in the style.

Human hair wig blow drying tips:

Make sure you have a hair dryer with a nozzle attachment. This attachment allows you to get your blow dryer very close to your wig without burning it. You'll get maximum cuticle smoothing without damaging your gorgeous wig.

Pull back hair around your face as you blow dry. This will help keep it away from your face and be more natural.

After the wig is completely dry, you will need to store them on the wig head so they don't get kinky and frizzy.
