  • Rinse under running water only if the instructions allow it; support the cap and work with the direction of the hair, without rubbing or wringing.
  • Use conditioner only as instructed. If told to avoid the cap, apply from mid-lengths to ends, away from knots, and follow the label’s timing.
  • Press the hair gently in a clean towel; dry it on a suitable stand as instructed, and make sure the cap and hair are fully dry before storage.

How do you wash a human hair wig,

so you don’t pull at the strands right from the start?

First, pause,

check this wig’s original care and washing instructions,

and choose a suitable shampoo;

Different styles

may need different methods.

Before washing,

use a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends,

gently detangle small sections,

then work upward section by section.

Support the section of hair with your other hand,

and don’t pull hard;

slowly loosen knots first.

If the maker’s instructions allow rinsing under running water,

put your hand inside the cap to support it,

and wet the hair in the direction it falls.

Use a suitable shampoo,

measure it according to the label first,

then smooth it lightly along the direction of the hair;

don’t rub back and forth.

Keep supporting the cap while rinsing,

keep the strands facing the same direction,

until the product is rinsed out.

Don’t repeatedly swing the wig by the ends,

and don’t wring it;

let the water drain naturally,

then gently press from top to bottom to remove excess water.

Use conditioner only as instructed by the maker for this style.

If the instructions say to keep it away from the cap,

apply it with your fingers only from mid-lengths to ends,

and keep it off the knot area;

follow the product label for how long to leave it on,

don’t extend the time yourself.

Rinse out the conditioner as the maker instructs,

until the water runs clear.

Then wrap the hair in a clean towel,

gently press to absorb water,

don’t twist or rub.

If you need to comb wet hair,

use a wide-tooth comb slowly, as instructed.

Place the wig securely on a suitable stand,

follow this style’s maker instructions for drying and styling;

before blow-drying or using other heat tools,

confirm that the method is suitable.

Before storing,

make sure the cap and hair are completely dry;

If you’re unsure about a step,

stop and check first.

Careful washing and care

start with reading the product instructions,

support the cap and follow the direction of the hair throughout,

and dry it completely as instructed.

No. If the maker allows rinsing under running water, support the cap and keep the hair facing the same direction while washing and rinsing. Let water drain naturally, then press gently from top to bottom to remove excess.
