Synthetic wigs are affordable, low-maintenance, and come in pre-styled designs that hold their shape effortlessly. However, they do require specific care to keep them looking fresh and tangle-free. Follow these essential synthetic wig aftercare steps to extend the lifespan of your wig.

Unlike human hair wigs, synthetic wigs don’t absorb natural oils, but they do collect dust and styling residue over time.

How often? Wash after 6 to 8 wears, or more frequently if exposed to sweat or product buildup.

How to wash:

1. Gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb before washing.
2. Fill a basin with cool water (hot water can damage synthetic fibres).
3. Add synthetic wig shampoo, submerge the wig, and swish gently—don’t rub!
4. Rinse with cool water and apply a synthetic wig conditioner, avoiding the wig cap.
5. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a towel (don’t wring or twist).

💡 Pro Tip: Avoid scrubbing or twisting the wig, as this can cause frizz and damage.

Synthetic fibres are heat-sensitive, so extra care is needed when drying and styling.

• Always air dry – place your wig on a wig stand to retain its shape.
• Avoid heat tools unless the wig is labelled heat-friendly.
• Use a leave-in conditioning spray to keep the fibres soft and prevent static.

💡 Avoid direct sunlight or heating vents, as excessive heat can weaken the wig’s structure.

Proper storage keeps your wig looking fresh and prevents unnecessary tangles.

✔ Store on a wig stand when not in use.

✔ Keep in a cool, dry area to avoid humidity damage.

✔ Use a breathable wig bag when travelling.

To maintain a synthetic wig, you need specialised products that keep fibres smooth and tangle-free.

✔ Synthetic wig shampoo & conditioner – formulated to clean without damaging fibres.

✔ Detangling spray – reduces friction and prevents static build-up.

✔ Leave-in conditioning mist – keeps synthetic wigs soft and fresh.

✔ Wig brush or comb – avoids pulling and maintains shape.
