How do I wash my wig?

Washing a wig has never been so easy! Here are some simple steps to ensure your wig looks and feels clean.

  1. Gently use a comb or your fingertips to remove any tangles from your wig.
  2. Fill a sink/bowl with luke-warm water and add a pea-size amount of shampoo.
  3. Immerse your wig for 3-5 minutes, gently swirling to ensure that the water penetrates all hair strands.
  4. Remove your wig and blot onto a soft towel, aiming to remove any excess water.
  5. Refill the sink/bowl with clean, cool water and immerse your wig, carefully swirling it until you are sure there is no shampoo left (this may have to be repeated a couple of times).
  6. After washing, spray a generous amount of leave-in conditioner to your wig, then comb through from the root to the tip.
  7. To dry your wig, carefully blot it against a soft towel- ensuring not to rub, wring or twist as this will damage the fibres.
  8. Place the wig on a mannequin head or wig stand and allow the wig to dry completely- ideally overnight.
