I love synthetic wigs; I don't have much time nor am I very clever when it comes to combing my hair; The good thing about these wigs is that they require very little care and maintenance, it is very easy, but at the same time it is important to do it to prolong the life of these wigs and obtain the least possible wear.
Before putting on your wig, shake it and comb it with a wide-toothed comb, don't forget to spray it with a special synthetic hair conditioner to avoid static electricity and maintain the softness and flexibility of the fiber. Once set, you can place the strands and shape them with your fingers.
It is important to wear a bamboo cap under your wig that will help absorb oils from the scalp and keep the wig cap clean for longer. Keep in mind that sweat is acidic and that can spoil your wig inside.
If you use it every day for more than 10 hours in a row, it is normal to wash it 1 time a week.
If you are going to give it a sporadic use, remember to always wash it before storing it. It is essential to always use a special shampoo for synthetic wigs. Once washed, apply a balm to protect the fiber and then the conditioner. Unless the wig is heat resistant, you do not use a dryer or iron, synthetic wigs have memory and recover their initial shape once dried without the need to stylize.
There are sets for the maintenance of synthetic fiber that contain a shampoo, a restorative balm cream, 1 softening conditioning spray that prevents static electricity. If it is the first time you use this type of wigs, it will be very useful to get one of these sets, you will have everything you need for proper maintenance.
How to wash the synthetic wig:
1- Detangle the hair before washing it, with a comb with wide teeth or a brush with round spikes. Gently brush the wig and remove tangles without pulling or dragging the fiber, start from the ends and go to the root to prevent the fibers from falling off.
2- Soak, from the roots to the ends, never rub, as it can produce tangles and spoil the fiber.
3- Wash, fill a container with cold water (never hot or warm water since it damages the fibers). Mix the size of a hazelnut of special synthetic hair shampoo in the water and dip the wig by placing it upside down and let it soak for 10 minutes. Run your fingers on the inside of the lid and focus on where the forehead is to remove oils and sweat. Do this with special care in the areas in the hand-knotted areas (lace front and monofilament) and with circular movements.
4- Rinse: Let the cold water flow in the same direction of the hair to prevent it from tangling. Squeeze and press the hair; you don't twist. You can remove the excess water by placing it inside a folded towel and pressing slightly.
5- Repairing balm: Once washed it is prepared to condition it. Mix a hazelnut balm in the water, dip the wig and leave the product on for 10 minutes. Then soak with cold water.
6- Dry with a towel: Place it between a folded towel, never squeeze too much, rub or twist the wig.
7- Shake it gently so that it recovers its style, you can comb it slightly with your fingers or a comb, make the stripe if necessary. Let it air dry on a folding wig stand, avoid solid supports (such as cork mannequins), so that air circulates through the cap and dries more quickly. Do not use a hair dryer, heat damages the fibers.
8- Pamper it. Apply a special synthetic hair conditioner to protect the fiber, you can do it with the wig still wet or when it is dry. It is advisable to use this conditioner later every day.
9- Comb it. Once dry you can pass the wide-toothed comb or your own fingers again.
Avoid heat sources, the simple mist of the oven can spoil the fiber forever.
If your wig is long, to untangle the wig, it will be very useful to use a wide-toothed comb and a specific serum, thus avoiding unwanted fiber breaks, knots and frizz.
Store it on a stand that is smaller than your wig cap to prevent it from deforming and protect it from dust with a natural fiber bag or cloth (such as cotton or silk).
