Wigs are not just fashion — for Naija babes, they’re an investment. When you buy a premium human hair wig, you want it to stay fresh, silky, and slay-ready for as long as possible. But here’s the truth: even the best wigs can lose their shine if you don’t care for them properly.
The good news? With the right maintenance, your human hair wig can last for years, not months. Here’s how to keep your wigs looking like they just came out of the box.
1. Daily Wig Care
- Brush Gently: Use a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush. Always start from the tips and work your way up to avoid pulling.
- Detangle Before Bed: Don’t just fling your wig on the chair — give it a quick brush to prevent knots.
- Hands Off Too Much: Touching your wig every second can transfer oils and dirt. Let people admire from afar.
2. Washing & Conditioning
- Wash Occasionally: Unlike natural hair, wigs don’t need daily washing. Every 2–3 weeks (depending on wear) is fine.
- Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo: Regular shampoos strip the wig. Go for mild, wig-friendly products.
- Deep Condition: This is the secret to soft, silky hair. Let conditioner sit for 5–10 minutes before rinsing.
3. Styling Tips
- Heat Smart: Yes, it’s human hair, but don’t fry it. Always use a heat protectant spray before straightening or curling.
- Switch It Up: Don’t keep one style for months. Alternate between straight, wavy, and curly to reduce stress on the strands.
- Avoid Heavy Oils: They weigh the wig down. Go for lightweight serums instead.
4. Storage & Protection
- Use a Silk Bag or Satin Bonnet: This prevents frizz and keeps your wig soft.
- Mannequin Head for Shape: If you want your wig to keep its style, place it on a mannequin head.
- Keep Away from Heat & Moisture: Store in a cool, dry place — no damp wardrobe corners.
5. Pro Wig Maintenance Hacks
- Trim the Ends: Split ends happen even with wigs. A light trim brings back life.
- Revamp Services: Once in a while, take your wig for a professional wash and revamp. Think of it like a spa day for your hair.
- Rotate Your Wigs: Don’t over-wear one wig. Switching between two or three makes each last longer.
