 
Caring for your wig properly will keep it fresh,
attractive and comfortable. See Wig Styling
for shaping and brushing advice. Also follow these maintenance tips:
Storage
When you remove your wig, keep it on a wig stand (or “head
form”) to maintain the shape. Smooth out straight hair or
fluff curls with a wire brush or pick. Cover with a hair net that
holds the style without matting. Avoid leaving your wig near heat
(radiators, vents), humidity (showers), or dusty areas.
Washing
Shampooing frequency depends on wearing frequency. Generally, a
wig should be washed after every 6–8 wearings in warm climates
or after every 12–15 wearings in coolers ones. However, if
you’re especially active, use heavy hairspray, or live in
an especially humid or poor air quality climate, you should wash
about once a week to remove excess perspiration and dirt.
The best approach: Before washing, smooth a straight
wig or fluff a curly wig gently and completely with a wire brush
or pick. Add a cap of wig shampoo or baby shampoo to a basin of
cool (never hot) water. Immerse wig gently and soak for two minutes.
Rinse well by swishing in clean, cool water. Gently squeeze out
excess without twisting. For extra shine and softness, apply wig
conditioner and leave on for five minutes. Rinse again well in clean,
cool water. Gently squeeze out excess without twisting.
Drying
After washing, tightly finger squeeze each curl on curly styles
while wig is still wet. On both straight and curly styles, gently
towel blot to remove excess water. Let wig air-dry on a clean, dry
towel or a wire head form that allows air circulation. Do not set
the wig stand near heat sources or in direct sunlight. Never use
blow dryers or other heat appliances on synthetic wigs. Also, be
sure not to comb, brush or pick a wet wig unless you are completely
restyling it. As the wig dries, shake it out periodically to speed
drying. Once fully dry, style normally.
Wearing
Once you have become accustomed to your wig, it’s easy to
go about your daily activities. Just remember to avoid blasts of
heat — such as quickly opening an oven door — on synthetic
wigs.
