A synthetic wig needs a different routine from a human hair wig – products and methods that work on human hair can actually damage the synthetic fibre. With the right care, your wig lasts longer and keeps its shape and shine.
The basics of synthetic wig care
- Wash it roughly every other week, not more often – washing too frequently wears the fibre out unnecessarily.
- Never use products made for human hair, such as silicone-based products – they can build up in the synthetic fibre and leave it dull or stiff.
- Heat tools can be used up to 120 degrees – but never hotter, or the fibre will melt or be permanently damaged.
- Let the wig air-dry on a wig stand, never in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
A common misconception is that synthetic hair can't take any heat at all – that isn't true, but the 120-degree limit must be strictly respected.
Our Synthetic Kit is made specifically for synthetic fibre, to keep your wig fresh and holding its shape for longer.
