How to wash synthetic wigs?

Here are the steps to washing synthetic wigs:

1. Detangle the wig: Before washing, use a wig brush or wide-tooth comb to remove any tangles or knots in the wig gently.
2. Prepare a basin of cool water: Fill a basin with cool water and mix in a small amount of wig shampoo. Avoid using hot water because it can damage the wig fibers.
3. Soak the wig: Place the wig into the basin and gently swish it in the water to distribute the shampoo. Let it soak for 5-10 minutes.
4. Rinse the wig: Rinse the wig thoroughly with cool water until all the shampoo is removed. Gently squeeze out any excess water.
5. Condition the wig: If your wig looks dull or frizzy, use a wig conditioner to help restore its shine and softness. Follow the instructions on the conditioner bottle and rinse it thoroughly with cool water.
6. Dry the wig: Place the wig on a wig stand or mannequin head and gently pat it with a towel to remove excess water. Avoid wringing or twisting the wig, as this can damage the fibers. Allow the wig to air dry completely before styling.
7. Style the wig: Once the wig is dry, you can use a wig brush or comb to style it as desired. Remember to only use heat tools on heat-friendly fibers like VersaFiber® or human hair.
