How to Maintain Your Wigs for Long-Lasting Beauty
At Salama Wigs, we believe your wig should make you feel confident and beautiful every day. Proper maintenance is the key to keeping your wigs looking fresh, natural, and long-lasting. Follow these simple steps to care for your wig like a pro:
1. Detangle with Care
Before washing, gently detangle your wig using a paddle brush or a wide-tooth comb. Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots to prevent breakage and shedding.
2. Prepare for Washing
Turn your wig inside out and wet it with lukewarm water, starting from the wig cap down. This reduces tangling and ensures even saturation.
3. Shampoo Gently
Apply a small amount of wig-specific shampoo, working it through the hair in a downward motion. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the wig cap to prevent damage. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.
4. Condition and Nourish
Turn the wig cap back to its original position. Apply a wig-safe conditioner and rinse with cold water. This helps seal in moisture and maintain the wig's shine.
5. Dry with Care
Gently squeeze out excess water without twisting the wig. Pat it dry using a soft towel—never rub or roll the hair, as this can cause frizz and tangles.
6. Air Dry on a Stand
Place the wig on a wig stand to air dry. Use a smaller stand to prevent the cap from stretching. Avoid using direct heat from hair dryers, as this can damage the fibers.
7. Apply Hair Lotion or Serum
Once your wig is dry, apply a small amount of hair lotion or serum to maintain softness and shine. Be sure to use products designed specifically for wigs.
8. Use Glue or Tape Correctly
If applying adhesive, only apply glue or tape to the lace material. This prevents damage to the cap and ensures a secure fit.
By following these steps, your wig will stay gorgeous, comfortable, and ready to wear for any occasion. At Salama Wigs, we’re committed to helping you look and feel your best every day!
