We’ve had a lot of questions recently about how to wash synthetic hair – from synthetic clip in hair extensions, to wigs and hairpieces and ponytails. We’ve put together this tutorial to show you exactly how to wash them correctly.
A few top tips to keep in mind:
Always use cool water, never hot! Hot water can soften synthetic fibers and cause any wavy extensions to become straight.
Do not comb the hair when wet – it will affect and damage the fiber.
Place on a stand to dry naturally, do not use heat
♦ Gently brush the wig to remove teasing or tangling with a wide tooth comb. When brushing, start at the ends and work your way to the roots.
♦ Fill a basin with cool water with synthetic wig shampoo. Never use hot water.
♦ Soak your wig for 3-5 minutes, Gently swirl without rubbing, and It’s also good to wash the lace part of the wig cap, especially after a day of wearing it at a convention or around town.
♦ Remove your wig from the basin, and thoroughly rinse in cool water.
♦ Gently squeeze excess water and towel blot hair. Never twist or wring your wig.
♦ Place on a folding wig stand, spray with leave-in conditioner, and allow to air dry.
♦ When the wig is completely dry, it is ready to style. Never style a wet wig.
