1. Understanding Your Wig Material
Before we dive into care techniques, let’s understand what you’re working with.
1.1 Virgin vs Remy vs Processed Hair
-
Virgin Hair: Never chemically processed. This is the gold standard for longevity and shine.
-
Remy Hair: Cuticles aligned in one direction. Smooth, tangle-free, premium quality.
-
Processed Hair: Chemically treated; more affordable, but needs gentler care.
GoldenCrownWigs primarily uses Remy and Virgin human hair, ensuring you start with a product designed for long life — if properly cared for.
2. Washing Your Wig Correctly
Most clients ask, “How often should I wash my human hair wig?”
The answer depends on usage:
| Wear Frequency | Wash Interval |
|---|---|
| Daily wear | Every 7–10 days |
| Occasional wear | Every 2–3 weeks |
| Rare use | Every month or after 10–15 wears |
2.1 Preparation
-
Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends upward.
-
Use lukewarm water — hot water can strip moisture.
-
Select sulfate-free shampoo — it cleans without drying.
2.2 Washing Steps
-
Submerge the wig in lukewarm water.
-
Add a small amount of shampoo and swish gently (never rub or twist).
-
Rinse thoroughly under running water.
-
Apply conditioner from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the roots.
-
Leave for 3–5 minutes, then rinse with cool water.
2.3 Drying
-
Pat dry with a towel (don’t wring).
-
Place on a wig stand to air-dry.
-
Avoid blow dryers unless on a low, cool setting.
💡 Pro Tip: For curly wigs, scrunch gently to retain shape and volume.
3. Deep Conditioning for Longevity
A deep-conditioning treatment every 3–4 weeks keeps human hair wigs soft and vibrant.
Recommended routine:
-
After shampooing, apply a moisture-rich mask.
-
Cover with a shower cap and let it sit for 20–30 minutes.
-
Rinse in cool water.
-
Apply a small amount of argan or coconut oil to ends when damp.
Avoid roots to prevent loosening knots. GoldenCrownWigs’ experts recommend professional salon treatment every few months for intensive hydration and restyling.
4. Styling Without Damage
Human hair wigs can be styled just like your own — but moderation is key.
4.1 Heat Styling
-
Use ceramic tools with temperature control.
-
Set heat between 250°F–300°F (120°C–150°C).
-
Always use a heat protectant spray.
4.2 Coloring
Yes, you can color your wig, but bleaching is risky.
If you want highlights or balayage, consult a professional familiar with human hair wigs — not every stylist knows wig-safe techniques.
4.3 Brushing & Daily Handling
-
Always detangle before and after wearing.
-
Hold the wig at the base when brushing to prevent shedding.
-
Never brush a wet wig — use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb instead.
5. Proper Storage Techniques
Storage mistakes are one of the main causes of wig tangling and misshaping.
5.1 Use a Wig Stand
Keeps the shape intact and allows ventilation. Avoid styrofoam heads unless pinned loosely.
5.2 Protect from Sunlight
UV exposure fades color and weakens hair cuticles. Store your wig in a cool, dark place.
5.3 Travel Tips
-
Place your wig inside a silk or satin bag.
-
Never fold the lace or compress the crown area.
-
Carry it in your hand luggage for safety.
6. Troubleshooting Common Wig Problems
6.1 Frizz or Dryness
-
Use lightweight oil or leave-in conditioner.
-
Limit heat styling and over-washing.
6.2 Shedding
-
Check for loose knots near the lace.
-
Avoid pulling when detangling.
-
Use gentle shampoos only.
6.3 Loss of Shine
-
Apply small amounts of argan or jojoba oil.
-
Rinse with cool water to seal cuticles.
6.4 Lace Damage
-
Trim lace gently when new.
-
Avoid tugging near the hairline.
-
Consider professional repair if tearing occurs.
7. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I sleep or swim in my human hair wig?
A: It’s not recommended. Friction causes tangling and premature wear. Remove it before sleeping or swimming.
Q: What’s the best brush for a human hair wig?
A: Use a wide-tooth comb or loop brush designed for wigs — never regular brushes.
Q: Can I use regular shampoo?
A: Avoid shampoos with sulfates or alcohol — they dry out hair and shorten its lifespan.
Q: How can I make my wig last longer?
A: Follow a regular wash schedule, deep-condition monthly, and store properly. Many GoldenCrownWigs clients report 3–4 years of use with proper care.
