A human-hair wig is a bit more trouble than a synthetic one, but keeping any wig in good condition is easy if you use products especially formulated for wigs.
Step 1
Buy the proper accessories to care for your wig. These include a wig brush, wig comb, wig stand, wig shampoo and conditioner, and various wig styling products. These are usually available in a beauty supply store or a wig store.
Step 2
Remove tangles with a wig brush and a spray wig conditioner.
Step 3
Remove shine by applying baby powder to the wig, then shaking excess powder loose.
Step 4
Always comb or brush the wig starting at the ends, and not the roots.
Step 5
Store the wig in a closed space, such as a closet, at room temperature and on a wig stand.
Step 6
Use a hair spray formulated especially for wigs to style your wig.
Step 7
To reduce the volume of your wig, spray it with cool water and brush with a wig brush.
Step 8
Remember that it's best if you do not use any heat source (including a blow dryer, a curling iron or hot rollers) on a synthetic hair wig. You may use these items on a human-hair wig.
