One of the best ways to protect your wig or hairpiece from damage, such as static, frizziness, and tangling, is by using some simple maintenance techniques on a regular basis.

  1. Start by investing in high-quality products specifically designed for synthetic hair, such as steamers, gentle styling tools, and synthetic-safe styling products.
  2. Use a wide-toothed comb to gently comb through the fibers of your wig or hairpiece. Begin at the ends and work your way up, using gentle strokes as you go. We also recommend using the comb from the back of the nape and working your way to the front. Doing this helps prevent visible breakage in the places other people can see, like the top of the head or near the face.
  3. If you notice static buildup in your wig or hairpiece due to low humidity levels in the air, try lightly misting it with a bit of water to deactivate static electricity and keep it looking great for longer. Try soaking in fabric softener if this continues. Just be sure to rinse out all of the fabric softener and dry before wearing. Fabric softener can make a wig flammable. If that isn't enough of a reason to rinse well, it can add to product build up that can make hair look dull and dirty. This trick looks and works great, though, as long as you heavily dilute the fabric softener in a basin of water instead of applying directly and are sure to rinse very, very well.

One of the most important things you can do is use quality products specifically designed for synthetic hair. There are many different types of styling products available that are specifically formulated to protect your wig or hairpiece while also adding shine and keeping it looking fresh. Investing in high-quality products will ensure that your wig or hairpiece stays looking its best for years to come.

Another way to maintain your wig or hairpiece is by using a wide-toothed comb or brush with soft bristles to gently comb through the fibers. You should always start from the ends of your hair and work your way up, using gentle strokes as you go. Avoid forcefully pulling on tangles and knots, as this can cause damage to delicate fibers. A wide-toothed comb or brush can help remove any snags without causing further harm.

If you notice static buildup in your wig or hairpiece due to low humidity levels in the air, try lightly misting it with a bit of water. This will help deactivate static electricity and keep your synthetic wig looking great for longer! Regular maintenance like these simple steps will help protect your synthetic wig or hairpiece from damage, keeping it looking great for years to come.
