How to Wash and Store Your Wig: Keep It Fresh, Flawless, and Long-Lasting

A beautiful wig is an investment—and like anything valuable, it deserves proper care. Knowing how to wash and store your wig correctly is the secret to keeping it soft, clean, and long-lasting.

In this guide, Klass Hair Wigs breaks down exactly how to wash and store your wig like a pro—whether it’s human hair or synthetic.

How Often Should You Wash Your Wig?

Human Hair Wigs: Every 7–10 wears or when product buildup is visible
Synthetic Wigs: Every 10–15 wears or when it feels stiff or dull

🚨 Over-washing can cause dryness—only wash when needed!

How to Wash Your Wig – Step-by-Step

What You’ll Need:

Wide-tooth comb or detangling brush
Sulfate-free shampoo
Moisturizing conditioner (for human hair wigs)
Wig stand or mannequin head
Towel
Cold or lukewarm water (never hot!)

🧖‍♀️ Step 1: Detangle Gently

Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush
Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid breakage

🚿 Step 2: Wash with Care

Fill a sink or bowl with cold or lukewarm water
Add a small amount of sulfate-free shampoo
Submerge the wig and gently swish for 1–2 minutes
Rinse thoroughly with clean water

🧴 For synthetic wigs: use a shampoo specifically for synthetic fibers.

💧 Step 3: Condition (for human hair wigs only)

Apply a moisturizing conditioner from mid-shaft to ends
Let sit for 5–10 minutes
Rinse thoroughly with cool water

⚠️ Avoid conditioner on the lace or roots—it can loosen knots!

🪮 Step 4: Dry Properly

Pat dry with a towel—don’t rub
Place on a wig stand or mannequin head to air dry
Never use direct heat on synthetic wigs
For human hair wigs, you may use a blow dryer on low heat if needed

💡 Air-drying helps maintain the wig’s texture and shape.

How to Store Your Wig – The Right Way

1. Use a Wig Stand or Mannequin Head

Helps maintain the wig’s shape and prevent tangling
Ideal for daily or frequent use

2. Store in a Satin Bag or Box (for longer-term storage)

Reduces friction and keeps the wig clean and dust-free
Fold the wig inside-out (lace inward) and place in a satin or silk bag

3. Avoid Heat, Sunlight, and Humidity

Store your wig in a cool, dry place
Keep it away from radiators, windows, and direct sunlight

Bonus Tips from Klass Hair

Always brush your wig before storage
Use a silk/satin scarf to wrap the hair for extra protection
Never store a wet wig—it can cause mildew and odor
Label your wig boxes for easy access if you own multiple units
