If you wish to have your synthetic hair wigs serve you for long, you need to clean your synthetic hair wigs safely. Below are the wigs maintenance tips:

1. You need to buy a shampoo, which is specifically designed for shampooing synthetic hair wigs. It is important that you should not use regular shampoos on synthetic hair wigs.

4. Before you begin washing your synthetic hair wig, you should leave the wig for 1-2 minutes until it is covered with both the water and shampoo. Making sure, you use it sparingly on the basin for another minute.

5. Thereafter remove your synthetic hair wig from the water and squeeze it to remove excess water from it. While squeezing the wig of excess water, try not to wring or to twist the wig to evade damaging it.

6. Using a dry towel gently blot the synthetic hair wig.

7. After washing, the wig put it on its form to dry from top to bottom before you begin styling. It is not advisable to style your synthetic hair wig.

8. Remember that you can from time to time condition your synthetic hair wig using a hair conditioner meant for synthetic hairs after washing it and before you give it a final rinse.

9. For the wig to maintain its shape it is advisable that you be keeping it on a wig stand when you are not wearing it. Storing it on a wig stand helps it remain in its natural style and form.
