Mix cool water with wig shampoo in a sink or basin (never use a washing machine). Soak your wig for five minutes, or a little longer depending on how soiled it is. Even if your wig is quite soiled, never rub, twist or wring it. After the five minutes, gently dip it up and down in the water. If there are makeup stains on the cap, clean them gently with a small brush (like a toothbrush).

Before we dive into how to revive a human hair wig, we’re going to explain why human hair wigs become dry in the first place. With natural hair, your scalp produces a natural oil named sebum which helps to keep natural hair moisturised. Natural oils are what human hair wigs unavoidably lack, which causes them to become dry over time, even with the best human hair wig care.

Style your wig when it's completely dry. Try a chin strap for secure, hands-free styling. Take advantage of styling heads for a view from all angles. Brush your synthetic wig with a stainless steel brush. Only use specially formatted wig styling products to maintain wig fibers.
