How to Wash and Condition Your Human Hair Wig (Step-by-Step)

Oct 4

Your human hair wig deserves the same love as your natural hair. Washing it correctly keeps it soft, shiny, and beautiful for months. Here’s your simple step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Detangle Before Washing

Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently remove knots from the ends up.
Never brush while the wig is dripping wet — that’s when strands are most fragile.

Step 2: Prepare Lukewarm Water

Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a sulfate-free shampoo.
Hot water can dry out the hair and weaken the lace.

Step 3: Wash Gently

Submerge the wig and move it slowly in the water. Don’t rub or twist — swirl it gently.

Step 4: Rinse and Condition

Rinse in cool water, apply a moisturizing conditioner, and leave for 5–10 minutes.

Step 5: Dry Naturally

Pat dry with a towel and let it air-dry on a wig stand. Avoid excessive heat.
