How To Take Care of Human Wigs

There are some basics for cleaning wigs,
 synthetic or human-hair, that can keep it looking neat and clean.

There are certain measures to take when wearing and storing a wig that will prevent it from needing to be cleaned too frequently. Over-cleaning the wig can ruin it in no time. To keep human-hair or synthetic wigs from needing to be cleaned frequently, keep your own hair and scalp clean, remove the wig when lying down, even for a quick nap. Store the wig on a wire wig stand every time you remove it. The stand allows air to circulate through the cap and will prevent it from losing its shape as well.

Where wigs are purchased you can also buy products designed specifically for taking care of your wig or hairpiece. These products are somewhat expensive but are made especially for shampooing wigs. If the wig is a human-hair wig you can use most any good shampoo which states that it is for permed, colored, or processed hair.
