SYNTHETIC HAIR

Keeping a synthetic hair wig looking fantastic and lasting as long as possible takes a little care and love. Here are some tips to help you rock that wig with confidence:

1. Gentle Handling: Treat your wig like the delicate beauty it is. When you’re putting it on or taking it off, be gentle. Hold the wig from the base or the cap, not by tugging on the hair strands.
2. Detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush designed for synthetic hair. Start from the tips and work your way up slowly to prevent breakage. Be patient, and detangle with care.
3. Washing: Only use a synthetic wig-friendly shampoo and conditioner. Fill a basin with cool water, mix in the shampoo, gently swish the wig around, then rinse. Don’t rub or wring it.
4. Drying: After washing, gently blot the wig with a clean towel to remove excess water. Never twist or wring it. Place the wig on a wig stand or a clean towel to air dry. Avoid using heat sources like hair dryers on synthetic wigs, as they can damage the fibers.
5. Styling: Avoid high-heat styling tools like curling irons or straighteners on synthetic wigs, unless they’re specifically labeled as heat-resistant. 
6. Storage: When you’re not wearing your wig, store it on a wig stand or a mannequin head to maintain its shape. If you don’t have a stand, you can lay it flat on a clean surface.
7. Avoid Heat: Synthetic wigs are sensitive to heat, so keep your distance from sources like ovens, grills, or open flames. Even hot water from showers can damage the fibers, so be mindful.
8. Use Products Sparingly: If you use wig sprays, gels, or other styling products, use them sparingly and choose ones that are specifically formulated for synthetic hair. Avoid products with alcohol, as they can dry out the fibers.
9. Rotate Wigs: If you’re rocking your wig daily, consider having more than one to rotate with. This helps reduce wear and tear on a single wig, extending its lifespan.
10. The Fuzzies: The ends becoming fuzzy is inevitable with synthetic fibers. The good news is that many styles can be smoothed out professionally several times during the life of the wig. Bring your wig in for an assessment by a professional and they can let you know if it is possible to give her a little hair love and bring your wig or topper back to life.

 Remember, taking care of your synthetic hair wig is a little bit of effort for a whole lot of fabulousness. With these tips, you’ll be flaunting that wig with style and confidence, and it’ll be looking great for many wears to come
