Hair care is as important off the body as on it. After removing a wig or hairpiece, gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for synthetic hair. Work from the tips upward in small sections, using a light spritz of water or a silicone-based detangler to loosen knots. When dry, store the wig on a form or stand that holds its shape, avoiding compression that could cause tangling or frizz.
During storage, keep wigs covered with a breathable cap or bag to reduce dust and static. If you’re traveling, securely wrap the hair in a soft cloth and place it in a dedicated container to minimize friction. Regular washing and conditioning with products suitable for synthetic hair helps maintain shine and flexibility, but avoid over-wetting the wig to prevent mildew or odor. Periodic maintenance, gentle detangling, and proper storage help hair remain smooth, manageable, and ready for quick reattachment.
