Super Fitness Health BlogHow to clean and maintain your wig
1) Fill a large bowl with enough cool to lukewarm water to fully immerse your wig. Don’t use hot water or it will remove body and may damage fibre.
2) Dissolve approximately one tablespoon of wigs cleaner or shampoo, along with one tablespoon of baking soda. Swish & swirl your wig around in solution.
If the front of wig or cap has makeup on it, make a paste of baking soda and shampoo and gently scrub with an old toothbrush until clean. Baking soda acts as a cleaning booster and will usually cut though the heaviest makeup or styling product residue in the hair or on the cap.
3) Rinse your wig in plenty of cool to cold water, do it 3 or 4 times to make sure the shampoo is completely rinsed out.
4) Rinse your large bowl out and refill it with fresh water. Dissolve one or two tablespoons of conditioner in water. Swish & swirl your wig around then work the mixture throughout your wig. Do not rinse. Lay your wig on a towel and pat it dry with another towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture. If you buy your wigs online make sure you will get some warranty for it to be washed safely.
5) Place onto a wig stand and let it dry for a couple of hours.
6) When the piece is dry, comb it out gently layer by layer usually starting at the bottom and work your way up.
