What Is the Best Way to Wash a Human Hair Wig?

  • Gently detangle the wig with a wide-tooth comb before washing.
  • Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of wig-friendly shampoo.
  • Submerge the wig and swirl it gently—avoid rubbing or twisting to prevent tangling.
  • Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all shampoo is removed.
  • Apply a moisturizing conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.
  • Rinse the wig again to remove all conditioner.
  • Pat the wig dry with a towel—avoid wringing or squeezing.
  • Place the wig on a wig stand to air dry, which helps maintain its shape.
