How to maintain and repair your wig to make it last longer!

Bacteria may be the cause of your wig's odor and itching!

Are you worried that your precious wig has started to smell or itch lately? If you want to use your wig for a long time, maintenance is important. The cause of your wig's odor and itching may be the growth of bacteria.

To keep your wig clean, you need to wash it with shampoo after use and dry it thoroughly in a well-ventilated place. You need to be especially careful during the summer months when you leave it on for long periods of time and your scalp tends to get stuffy.

It is preferable to use a shampoo specifically designed for wigs, but you can also use a small amount of your regular shampoo. If you use fabric softener instead of conditioner, we recommend choosing one that has antibacterial and deodorizing properties.

Also, even if you wash your clothes, if they are stored in poor conditions, bacteria can easily grow. Avoid humid places or places exposed to direct sunlight, and store in a well-ventilated place.

What to do if your wig smells

If your wig has a smell, first wash it with shampoo and dry it thoroughly. If it's a household odor, it's relatively easy to remove.

A new wig may have an unpleasant odor, but this odor comes from the material of the wig. If you dry it in a well-ventilated shade for about a day, the odor will go away.

How to fix tangled hair

Wig hair tends to get tangled easily and may become stuck and become difficult to untangle. You can fix it yourself, but it takes time and patience.

When straightening tangled hair, it is important to use a comb instead of a brush. Prepare a wide-toothed comb and start combing your hair little by little, starting from the part closest to the ends, to loosen any tangles.

Once the part near the ends of the hair has come undone, gradually start combing the part near the roots. You can fix tangles while preventing hair loss and hair breakage. If you can't untangle it with a comb, just cut the tangled hair to that length.

You can also prevent static electricity by using a silicone spray made for wigs before the hair gets tangled. You can also spray it after untangling to prevent it from getting tangled again.

If there is damage to the scalp

If you notice any visible damage such as cracks or tears on the base of your wig, consider getting a new wig instead of trying to repair it yourself.
