Step 1: wash the human hair wig
1. Comb or brush your wig from the ends. According to different hairstyles, please use different tools. Like body wave hairstyles, use the wide-tooth comb, but brush on the straight wave hair. When the knots on the hair are free, you can work the way up to the roots until your brush or comb through it without snagging.
2. Put some shampoo into the warm water you prepare in the sink which you fill with water. Different hairstyles use a different shampoo. Such as, if you want to wash your curly hair wig, you can use a shampoo made for curly hair. If your hair was dyed, you need to choose the shampoo which can protect the color-safe. Please don’t apply the shampoo on your wig directly, it will damage the cuticle of your wig. You can use the soapy water to wash the wig.

This way can make the shampoo easy to reach the cap where is the most dirt, oils, and sweat left. Then put the wig into the water till submerge them, give the wig a gentle swirl to help the shampoo throughout the strands. Let the wig soak into the shampoo water at least 5 minutes in order to make sure that the wig is completely submerged in the water. Please don’t do too much thrashing, squeezing, and swirling which causes the hair to get tangled easily.
4. Clean the shampoo by fresh warm water till all the shampoo is gone. Please don’t use the hot water which will ruin the hair fiber. If your hair wig is thick, you can wash more. According to different situations use different ways.
5. Use some high-quality conditioner on your wig to nutrition it. If your wig is common hair weft sewing in the wig, you can use the conditioner regularly, there wouldn’t have any affection on the weft. But if your wig is lace front wig, please be careful about your wig cap. The hair strands are knotted onto the lace, if you use the conditioner on the lace, it will make the knots on the lace lose, then the hair should be falling. So you can use the hair conditioner by the wigs you use.

2. Use a dry towel to absorb the excess water. Let the dry towel cover the hair, press the towel to make sure to absorb the water in the hair completely. After it, open the towel gently and remove the wig. If you have a long wig, make sure that the hair strands are smoothed enough, no matte and knots.
3. Spray some conditioning spray to the wig which can help the wig avoid tangle. Don’t be too close to your wig. If your wig is curly, you can use some mousse to make the wig keep the shape.

5. If you are hurry to use your wig, you can use the blow dry, but make sure to set the drier at the low temperature. Or it will damage the hair cuticles. When you use the hairdryer to dry the wig cap first, after the cap dry, you can place the wig onto your head. Fix it with bobby pins, finish blow drying the wig while it is on your head. If you want your wig to have more volume, you can dry it upside down.
6. This means let the wig cap outside, and let it dry first, clip the nape part of the wig cap to a pants hanger. When the wig cap dry, you can hang the wig up in the shower for a few hours to make sure it can air dry. Of course, you can’t use the shower now.
