One of the most commonly asked questions we get here at NameBrandWigs.com is “How Should I Care For My Synthetic Wig”? This is a great question! Proper care can absolutely extend the life of your synthetic wig. If you want to get the most out of your wig, stick around, and we’ll share some effective tips to ensure your wig remains in excellent condition for as long as possible.
Gentle Washing
Use a shampoo specifically designed for synthetic wigs. Start by detangling your wig with a wide tooth comb. Then rinse your wig with cool water. Gently cleanse the hair with your favorite synthetic shampoo. It is important not to rub or twist while cleansing. Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all shampoo is removed.

Proper Drying
After washing, avoid wringing or twisting the wig. Instead, gently pat it with a towel to remove excess water. Place the wig on a wig stand to allow it to air dry. Avoid using heat sources such as dryers, as they can damage synthetic fibers.
Style With Care
Use only heat styling tools that are safe for heat friendly synthetic wigs. Here's my favorite: Envy 3-in-1 Airstyler. When styling, opt for products designed for synthetic hair to avoid damage to the hair fibers. Avoid excessive brushing or combing, especially when the wig is wet.

Regular Maintenance
Brush your wig regularly with a wide tooth comb to prevent tangles. Consider using a synthetic wig conditioner to keep the fibers soft and manageable.
Avoiding Environmental Damage
Limit exposure to humidity, smoke, and chlorine, as these can affect the quality of the synthetic fibers.
Storage
Store your wig on a wig stand or in a box to maintain its shape and prevent tangling. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as sunlight can fade the color and damage the fibers.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Using regular hair products
- Applying heat incorrectly
- Over-washing
- Sleeping or showering with your wig on
How Long Will My Synthetic Wig Last?
Typically, with proper care and maintenance, your synthetic wig can last anywhere between 3 and 6 months! Signs indicating that it's time to retire a wig include: persistent frizz, excessive tangling, loss of shape and style, shedding/thinning, and cap wear and tear.
