HUMAN HAIR WIG CARE (SUPER SIMPLE GUIDE)
1. STORING YOUR WIG (When You’re Not Wearing It)
What to do:
Put your wig on a wig stand or mannequin head
Keep it in a cool, dry place
Cover it with a silk or satin bag if you have one
Why:
So the hair doesn’t get squished or messy
Just like you don’t throw your favorite toy on the floor
2. WEARING YOUR WIG (Being Gentle)
Before you wear it:
Make sure your real hair is flat and clean
Wear a wig cap
When putting it on:
Hold the wig from the sides
Place it front first, then pull it back
Adjust slowly — no pulling!
Remember:
Be gentle like petting a kitten
3. PREPARING (PAIRING) YOUR WIG (Getting It Ready)
Before wearing:
Gently comb with a wide-tooth comb
Start from the ends, not the top
Use a tiny bit of wig spray or leave-in conditioner
Why:
Hair likes to be brushed softly, not yanked
4. CLEANING YOUR WIG (Bath Time!)
How often:
Every 10–15 wears
Or when it smells or feels dirty
How to wash:
Fill a bowl with cool water
Add a little wig shampoo
Put the wig in and swish gently
Rinse with cool water
Add conditioner (only mid to ends!)
Rinse again
Drying:
Pat with a towel (don’t twist!)
Put on a wig stand
Let it air dry
No hot water, no rough play
5. STYLING YOUR WIG (Looking Cute!)
Good news:
Human hair wigs can use heat 🔥
But… be careful!
Styling rules:
Always use heat protectant
Use low heat
Curl or straighten slowly
Best styles for long life:
Loose waves
Straight looks
Soft ponytails
Avoid:
Tight styles every day
Sleeping in your wig
Hair gets tired too
