Why Might You Need Ideas for How to Store Wigs at Home?

You've taken the time to buy the wig that's perfect for you and have collected quite a few different wigs for when you want to change up your style, but now you're wondering where and how to store your wigs at home. Storing your wigs is like changing up your wardrobe each season; you may want to store your summer wigs for the winter, or vice versa! Storing your wigs carefully will not only help extend the life of your wig, but it will also keep your wig in tip-top condition, so you can look and feel great.

Daily maintenance to prevent tangles in human hair wigs

Proper daily maintenance is key to preventing your wig from tangling and extending its life. By combining gentle combing techniques, proper washing methods, and proper drying methods, you can ensure that your wig remains tangle-free and in top condition.

1. Brushing Techniques

1. Choose the right brush: Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to maintain the health and beauty of your hair and protect the life of your replacement wig without pulling or snagging it.

2. Gentle method: Start combing from the ends and work your way down to the roots. This minimizes stress on the hair fiber.

3. Regular combing: Gently comb your wig daily to prevent it from tangling. Be especially careful when your wig is wet, as the hair is more susceptible to damage. 

2. Washing

1. How Often to Wash: Wash your human hair wig after every 7 to 10 wears, or more often if it is exposed to heavy sweat or product buildup.

2. Choosing Products: Choose sulfate-free, salon-grade, moisturizing shampoos and conditioners. These products are gentle and help maintain the wig's natural moisture balance.

3. How to Wash: Wet your wig with warm water. Apply a small amount of shampoo and rub gently, avoiding scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly and apply conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. 

3. Drying

1、Towel Dry: After washing, gently towel dry the wig. Avoid wringing or twisting the hair, which can cause tangles and breakage.

2、Air Dry: Place the wig on a wig stand or dry towel and allow it to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause color fading and damage the hair.

3、Avoid High Heat: If you must use a hair dryer, use the lowest temperature setting and keep the hair dryer moving to prevent heat damage. Heat protection spray is recommended for extra protection.

Avoid Common Mistakes in Human Hair Care

Caring for your human hair wig requires more than just regular cleaning and proper storage. It also requires being aware of common mistakes that can cause your wig to become tangled and damaged. By recognizing these pitfalls and adopting better practices, you can keep your wig in great condition longer.

1、Over-brushing and rough handling

Mistake: Combing your wig too often or too hard can cause it to break and frizz.

Solution: Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush and gently comb your hair, starting at the ends and working your way down to the roots.

2、Neglecting regular maintenance

Mistake: Not brushing, washing, and conditioning regularly can cause buildup and tangles.

Solution: Establish a wig care routine that includes gentle brushing and timely washing with the right products.

3、Over-using heat styling tools

Mistake: Frequent use of high-heat styling tools can dry out and damage your hair.

Solution: Limit the use of heat styling tools. Use low-heat styling tools and apply heat protectant when necessary.

4、Improper drying methods

Mistake: Wiping your wig with a towel or drying it on high heat can cause it to tangle and damage.

Solution: Pat the wig gently with a towel and place it on a wig stand to air dry. If using a hair dryer, use the cool setting.
