[Wig care] How to remove wax and spray and the correct care method

“I would like to put wax or spray on my wig to arrange it, but I wonder if I can put it back together?”

"I'm worried that spraying will damage the wig."

I will answer your questions.

In conclusion, there is nothing wrong with waxing or spraying your wig. However, it requires proper care.

There are various ways to care for a wig, but many people do it their own way. Correct care will extend the life of your wig and have economic benefits.

Here, we will introduce "points necessary for care after waxing and spraying", so if you are interested, please refer to it.

How to remove wax spray

1. Soak the wig in warm water and loosen the hardened ends.

Soaking the wig in cold or lukewarm water will make it easier to remove wax and spray. However, make sure that the wig you use is heat resistant.

Soaking the wig for about 5 to 10 minutes will soften the hardened wig. Then, gently rinse the hair while loosening the ends.

2. Wash your hair with shampoo starting from the ends

Once the wig is soft enough, wash it with shampoo starting with the dirtiest ends. There is no problem using commercially available shampoo.

If you used a strong spray or wax, you may not be able to remove the stain in one go, so wash it several times.

Don't worry, your wig won't fall apart unless it's a cheap wig like the ones sold at discount stores.

3. Use fabric softener for finishing

By soaking the wig in fabric softener, it will return to its fluffy state when it dries. However, this is a matter of personal preference, so if you want to save time, using up to 2 will be enough to remove stains. Also, be sure to rinse out the shampoo thoroughly before using fabric softener.

Use of special wax for wigs

In fact, there is something called "wax specifically for wigs"!

This wax is specifically designed for synthetic hair, unlike human hair wax. Therefore, it has the effect of suppressing excessive gloss and stickiness.

This doesn't apply to those who are using human hair wigs, but if you are using synthetic hair wigs, please try a wig-specific wax.
