Hello there,
We're back again with another informational blog!
Synthetic wigs are low maintenance, budget friendly wigs made from synthetic fibers. With the introduction of superior technology, synthetic wigs have evolved to offer higher quality looks than before and this has made it more popular amongst leading ladies. Are you are considering or did you just get a new synthetic wig and you are wondering how to care for it? Come along with me!
Did you know that taking care of your synthetic wig can be a breeze?
Here's a fun and simplified guide. This is a trusted guide but it can also be tweaked to suit your needs better, depending on the type/quality of synthetic wig you end up with.
The Pre-Wash step
1. Know When to Wash: Use your nose and eyes to decide when your wig needs a bath. If it smells funky or looks grungy, it's time.
2. Smell and Sight Rule: Forget about being overly clean; synthetic wigs last longer with fewer washes. Keep your scalp clean too.
3. Special Shampoo: Don't use your regular shampoo. Invest in a good synthetic hair shampoo and conditioner. There are even leave-in conditioners for extra TLC.
4. Pre-Wash Comb: Before the wash party, give your wig a gentle brushing with a wire comb while it's dry.
5. Cold Water Love: Only use cold water for the wash. Hot water can harm those wig fibers.
The Wash Step
Here's where the actual washing takes place. Follow these easy steps:
1. Fill a bucket with cold water (or even your locked bathroom sink) and add some synthetic hair shampoo. If it's super stinky, toss in a teaspoon of baking soda and mix.2. Soak your wig gently for about 10 minutes or lightly swish it around for 1-1.5 minutes (no rubbing).
3. Wash it thoroughly for 10-15 minutes until it's squeaky clean.
4. You can condition now or later.
5. Gently pat the wig with a towel, no wringing or crushing.
6. Leave-in Love: Give it a spritz of leave-in conditioner, but don't overdo it. Keep a little distance when spraying.
The Post-Wash step
1. Shape Matters: Place it on a stand that matches your wig's shape. Don't let it sunbathe; it prefers the shade.2. Brush with Care: Wait until it's fully dry to brush, and use a soft touch.
3. Store for the future: Store in a wig storage bag to prevent exposure to dust, dirt and keeps your styling in check.
