Maintaining a human hair wig properly can extend its lifespan and keep it looking natural and beautiful. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to care for your wig:

1. Washing Your Wig
   Frequency: Wash every 7–10 wears or when buildup occurs.
   Steps:
   a. Detangle the wig gently using a wide-tooth comb or wig brush.
   b. Rinse the wig with lukewarm water.
   c. Apply a sulfate-free shampoo, gently massaging it in a downward motion.
   d. Rinse thoroughly and apply a lightweight conditioner, avoiding the roots to prevent loosening knots.
   e. Rinse again and gently pat dry with a towel (do not rub).
2. Drying the Wig
   a. Let the wig air dry on a wig stand to maintain its shape.
   b. Avoid using a blow dryer unless absolutely necessary; if used, keep it on a low heat setting.
3. Styling the Wig
   a. Use heat styling tools sparingly and always apply a heat protectant.
   b. Avoid excessive brushing when the hair is wet to prevent shedding.
   c. Use alcohol-free styling products to maintain the hair’s natural shine.
4. Storing the Wig
   a. Store on a wig stand or mannequin head to prevent tangling.
   b. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and dust.
5. Protecting the Wig While Sleeping
   a. If you must wear it while sleeping, use a silk or satin scarf/bonnet to reduce friction and tangling.
6. Avoiding Damage
   a. Keep the wig away from chlorine, saltwater, and harsh weather conditions.
   b. Don’t apply heavy oils or products that cause buildup.
7. Professional Maintenance
   a. Get the wig professionally deep-conditioned every few months.
   b. If the lace or tracks loosen, have it repaired by a professional.

By following these steps, you can keep your human hair wig looking soft, shiny, and long-lasting.
