Why are wigs getting dry and frizzy? What can be done to restore compliance?

After wearing the wig for a while, you will find that your hair becomes more and more dry and frizzy

It's not as smooth and smooth as it was when I bought it

In fact, this is a normal phenomenon

Because the hair on the wig is detached from the roots of our scalp, there are no hair follicles to provide nutrients and to absorb nutrients

So the nutrients in the hair are fixed

As the use of time becomes longer, the nutrients on the hair will gradually lose, and the wig will easily become dry and frizzy

This is the importance of wig care

How to care for wigs?

Prepare some special wig washing supplies, each time you clean the wig with hair conditioner, hair mask, etc., to supplement the hair nutrition, and then spray some wig care liquid on it

This will keep your hair hydrated and less likely to dry out

But what if the wig has gotten really dry?
1. Combing

Gently comb the wig with a wide tooth comb or special wig comb, be careful to avoid excessive pulling, as this may cause hair breakage

2. Moisturize

Use leave-in conditioner or a lightweight hair oil designed for wigs and spread it evenly across the strands to add moisture and shine

Usually wear some wig special softener spray

3. Moisturizing and soaking

If your wig is already very dry, give it a moisturizing soak

Fill the tub with warm water, add a small amount of wig conditioner, soak for 15-30 minutes and rinse with cold water to remove excess conditioner

4. Steam treatment

The use of electric steam for excitation can help evaporate the moisture in the hair and make the wig more flexible

5. Avoid high temperatures

Avoid using direct heat styling products on wigs, such as hair dryers, curling irons, or straighteners

Too much heat will further damage the nutritional fibers in the wig, resulting in increased dryness

6. Storage

Proper storage is key to preventing the wig from drying out

If you do not want to wear the wig for a short time, you can place the wig on the wig holder or the mannequin head to maintain its shape

If you do not wear it for a long time, wrap the wig in a breathable wig bag or hairnet to prevent dust and dirt

7. Regular maintenance

Regular maintenance is also an important step to prevent wigs from drying out

Wigs are generally cleaned once every 3-7 days

Before cleaning, it is necessary to comb gently from top to bottom with a coarse toothed soft brush or thin toothed wooden comb to clean the dirt and dust

Then use hair-specific shampoo, conditioner and styling products, shampoo and conditioner must be washed to prevent its accumulation

8. Professional help

The wig is severely dry or damaged, or cannot be repaired by the above methods

Consider taking it to a professional hairdresser for maintenance, who will help restore the wig's softness
