Easy Tips for Increase Your Wig’s Life

If you have recently bought a wig and it has been a while since you have been wearing it then I am sure that you must be dying to give it a makeover. But it is important that you do not get carried away as it could spoil your perfect lace wig. The best part of these wigs is that they are lightweight; hence comfortable to wear. To ensure that your lace hair wig maintains its perfect form and healthy we have listed some great tips that you should definitely follow. When you receive your lace hair wig for the very first time, you should pick it up with your hands placed inside the wig to give it a gentle little shake. This is in order to open the hair out as it loosens it up a little bit. If the wig is straight you ought to use a wide tooth brush and comb it gently all the way through. On the other hand if it is a curly textured then you should only run your fingers through the lace wig. How & When to Wash a Lace Wig Depending on the type of adhesive of your wig, you can continuously wear your wig for 6 weeks straight or 30 times. However if you live and wear your Lace Hair Wig in an environment that is dry and where the wig is exposed to direct sunlight you may have to wash your wig quite often. The best indicator for this is when your wig begins to get tangled and sticky. Gradually you will begin to know when it is time to wash your wig just like you would know for your own real hair. Simply brush your lace hair wig with a gentle hand all along the bottom to undo tangles and knots. Once you have done this leave your wig to soak in water for a couple of minutes and then wash the wig with a special wig shampoo in either a washbasin or large bowl. Rinse the shampoo out of the wig under running water. Never wash your lace wig in a washing machine. How to Dry a Lace Wig Place your washed wig onto a large dry towel and pat dry the wig with soft gentle hands. Remember that if you wring out the water you will completely ruin the wig’s shape. Also note to never air dry or comb the wig if it is dripping wet. The best place to put it would be on its own stand so that while drying it retains its shape. You can also smoothen out your wig by spraying a special kind of conditioner that is made specifically for wigs. Use Correct Wig Care Products If you want your lace hair wig to stay healthy and maintain its shine you must care for it with the correct wig care products. These items (brushes, shampoo & conditioners) are carefully formulated for wigs and hence they will not harm your lace wig. Even if the packaging mentions that the product is mild and gentle, like shampoos for babies, you should still use only specific Human Hair Wigs products. They may in-fact cause color loss or shape deformation. Avoid using a hairbrush that has bristles made of nylon on curly textured hair wigs. It may open out all the curls from your wig. Keep mousse, gel, hairspray and permanent hair color away from your lace hair wig. Things to Avoid Direct contact with heat will ruin your lace hair wig permanently. Therefore it is strongly advised to keep blow dryers, hair- strengtheners and curling-irons away from your wig. Barbeques and other such events should also be avoided, if you must attend then wear a something over your hair as to lower the effects of the heat. Wait for your wig to dry before you do anything to it if you happen to be stuck in the rain or snow. Also avoid sleeping while wearing your wig because the friction with your pillow can cause some heavy wear-and-tear. Keep in mind that any direct friction will automatically cut your wig’s life.
