A natural hair wig is a true beauty investment. Thanks to its quality, realistic look and durability, it can keep all its splendour for many months, or even several years with proper care.
Just like your own hair, natural hair needs attention and regular care to preserve its softness, shine and flexibility.
Why is care so important?
Unlike hair that grows naturally on the scalp, a wig doesn’t benefit from the natural oils the scalp produces.
Regular care helps you:
✔ Preserve the hair’s softness
✔ Prevent dryness
✔ Reduce tangles and frizz
✔ Maintain a natural look
✔ Extend your wig’s lifespan
How often should you wash your wig?
The frequency depends on how often you wear it.
As a general rule, we recommend washing every 1 to 2 weeks, or after several regular wears.
Washing too often can dry out the hair, while a lack of care can lead to product residue build-up.
How to wash your wig ?
Step 1: Detangle gently
Before washing, detangle the hair with a wide-tooth comb.
Always start at the ends and work your way up gradually towards the roots.
Step 2: Use a gentle shampoo
Wash the hair in lukewarm water with a gentle shampoo, ideally sulfate-free.
Distribute the product gently along the lengths without rubbing too hard.
Step 3: Rinse thoroughly
Rinse thoroughly to remove all shampoo residue.
The essential step: the hydrating mask
After each wash, apply a nourishing mask along the lengths.
This step is essential to maintain:
✨ The hair’s hydration
✨ Its flexibility
✨ Its natural softness
✨ Its shine
Treatments with argan oil, coconut oil, avocado oil or keratin are especially popular.
How to dry your wig
Air drying remains the best option.
We recommend:
✔ Placing the wig on a wig stand
✔ Letting it air dry
✔ Avoiding excessive heat
If you use a hair dryer, opt for low to medium heat.
How to prevent tangles?
A few simple habits will keep the hair smooth and flowing:
✔ Detangle the hair regularly
✔ Use a wide-tooth comb
✔ Avoid sleeping with the wig on whenever possible
✔ Limit excessive friction
Long, wavy or curly hair generally requires extra attention.
Can you use heat styling tools?
Natural hair wigs can be straightened or curled.
However, we recommend:
✔ Using a heat protectant
✔ Avoiding very high temperatures
✔ Limiting repeated heat styling
These precautions help preserve the quality of the hair fibre.
Can you dye a natural hair wig?
Premium natural hair can generally be dyed or customised.
For the best result while preserving the hair’s quality, it’s advisable to leave chemical treatments to a professional.
How to store your wig
When you’re not wearing it:
✔ Place it on a suitable stand
✔ Store it in a clean, dry place
✔ Avoid storing it while it’s still damp
Proper storage helps preserve its shape and quality.
Mistakes to avoid
❌ Using harsh or alcohol-heavy products.
❌ Brushing the hair when it’s soaking wet.
❌ Using very high temperatures.
❌ Skipping the mask after washing.
❌ Storing the wig while still damp.
