How to take care of synthetic hair wigs?

Anyone who has decided on a synthetic hair wig should, of course, take optimal care of it to ensure a long lifespan and high comfort. Synthetic hair wigs are characterized by their special fibers that give the optical impression of real hair, but they require specific care to maintain their attractiveness.

An essential question is: What does the 'perfect care' of a synthetic hair wig really involve? The following tips provide a detailed guide to consider the most common aspects and get the best out of your wig.

Tip No. 1: Don’t wash synthetic hair wigs too often!

Unlike real hair, it is not necessary to wash synthetic hair wigs regularly. It is sufficient to clean them as needed. Since scalp greasing does not occur with synthetic hair, the cleaning interval can be significantly extended. It should be noted that only lukewarm water should be used, as high temperatures can damage the structure of the synthetic fibers, potentially leading to a 'straw-like' appearance in extreme cases.

Tip No. 2: Use the right shampoo

To extend the lifespan of your synthetic hair wig, special shampoos should be used that are precisely tailored to the needs of synthetic hair. It is important not to compromise and to choose only high-quality products to protect the structure of the synthetic fibers.

Tip No. 3: Please do not blow-dry!

Synthetic hair wigs should always be air-dried. The use of a blow-dryer or straightening irons is absolutely prohibited, as are curling rods, since heat can permanently damage the synthetic fibers. After drying, the hair can be styled as desired; however, this should never be done on wet synthetic hair to avoid damaging the surface.

Tip No. 4: The right equipment

To care for the hair of your synthetic hair wig, it is advisable to use coarse combs and brushes. Before combing, it can be helpful to loosen any tangles with your hands to avoid pulling and tearing the fibers. Gentle handling is crucial for the long durability of your wig.

Tip No. 5: No styling products

Synthetic hair wigs have a structure that allows for many styles even without hairspray or similar products. Therefore, it should be avoided to come into contact with any styling products, as this could cause the fibers to tangle and impair their appearance.

Synthetic hair wigs – longer-lasting with the right care

Although modern synthetic hair wigs are known for their durability and robustness, their longevity can be further increased through suitable care measures. The care measures are usually uncomplicated and easily fit into everyday life. Of course, we are here to answer any questions you may have on this topic!
