If your wigs are synthetic wigs, you must use the shampoo and hair conditioner designed for synthetic wigs.

After the wig is clean, gently blot excess water from the wig with a soft towel. Place the wig on a wig stand or something can let the wig hair fall down. Then place your wig in a ventilated area to air dry.Detangle your wig

Tips to store wigs
1.When you store wigs, you must make sure they are completely dry to avoid bacteria and mildew.
2.Your wigs must be stored in a place without direct sunlight and heat. These will damage the synthetic fibers and human hair. Especially for colored wigs, the hair color will fade quickly under the direct sunlight.
3.You must place wigs in areas with low humidity to prevent bacteria, mildew and moisture damage to wig fibers.
4.You can’t store wigs in a way that compresses them. It is not recommended to store wigs in vacuum bags, especially for long-term storage. This saves space but can flatten and distort wigs.
