Wig Care & Maintenance Guide


Whether you’ve chosen a natural human hair wig or a high-quality synthetic piece, proper care ensures your wig stays flawless, soft, and long-lasting. Follow our simple guide to install, style, and maintain your wig like a pro.

How to Install Your Wig

Before You Start:

  • Make sure your natural hair is clean, dry, and flat (braid, wrap, or use a wig cap).
  • Clean your forehead and hairline to remove oils or makeup.
  • Gather your tools: wig cap, adhesive or wig grip band, scissors, edge brush, and styling tools.

For Lace Wigs:

  1. Prep: Trim the lace carefully along the hairline.
  2. Apply: Use a small amount of adhesive, gel, or wig spray along your hairline (optional for glueless wigs).
  3. Secure: Position the wig from front to back, pressing gently into place.
  4. Style: Blend your edges and style as desired using low heat or gentle brushing.

For Glueless or Ready-to-Wear Wigs:

  • Simply place the wig on your head, adjust straps for a snug fit, and style to your liking.

Daily Care Tips

  • Always handle your wig gently, avoid pulling or rough combing.
  • Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush starting from the ends and working upward.
  • Keep the wig away from excessive heat or direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Store it on a wig stand or mannequin head to maintain its shape.

  2. Fill a basin with cool or lukewarm water and add a small amount of sulfate-free shampoo.
  3. Gently submerge the wig and swish it (do not rub or twist).
  4. Rinse with cool water.
  5. Apply a moisturizing conditioner, let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
  6. Pat dry with a towel — never wring — and let it air dry on a wig stand.
  7. nce dry, apply a light leave-in conditioner or argan oil to keep it soft and shiny.

For Synthetic Wigs:

Styling Tips

Human Hair Wigs:

  • Can be straightened, curled, or restyled with low to medium heat.
  • Always use a heat protectant spray.
  • Avoid over-styling to maintain texture and longevity.

Synthetic Wigs:

  • Use only heat-friendly tools if the fiber allows (check your product label).
  • Avoid high temperatures; even warm air can alter the shape.
  • Finger styling often works best for natural-looking results.

Long-Term Maintenance

Wash your wig or when product buildup occurs
Store in a cool, dry place away from dust and moisture.
For lace wigs, clean the lace gently after each use to prevent glue buildup.
If shedding or tangling occurs, use a lightweight detangling spray or seek professional wig care.
