Synthetic wigs are wigs made from synthetic hair fibers rather than natural human hair. These wigs are popular for their affordability, low maintenance, and wide variety of styles and colors.
Synthetic wigs are typically pre-styled, so they hold their shape and do not require daily styling. They are also lightweight and breathable, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods. Additionally, synthetic wigs are available in a range of styles, from short pixie cuts to long, wavy locks, and can be found in a wide variety of colors, including natural shades and bold, fashion colors.
Cleaning a synthetic curly wig requires a gentle touch to avoid damaging the wig fibers. Here are the steps you can follow to wash a synthetic curly wig:
-
Detangle the wig: Before washing, carefully detangle the wig using a wide-tooth comb or wig brush. Start at the ends and work your way up to the roots to avoid tangling the wig further.
-
Prepare the cleaning solution: Fill a basin or sink with cool water and add a small amount of mild shampoo or wig shampoo. Avoid using hot water or any products that contain alcohol or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the synthetic fibers.
-
Wash the wig: Immerse the wig in the cleaning solution and gently swirl it around for a few minutes. Do not rub, twist or wring the wig. Rinse the wig thoroughly with cool water until the water runs clear.
-
Condition the wig: After washing, apply a small amount of wig conditioner to the hair, avoiding the roots. Leave the conditioner on for a few minutes, then rinse it out with cool water.
-
Dry the wig: Gently squeeze out any excess water from the wig, then pat it dry with a towel. Do not wring or twist the wig as this can damage the fibers. Place the wig on a wig stand or a towel and let it air dry naturally. Do not use a hairdryer or other heat sources to dry the wig.
-
Style the wig: Once the wig is dry, you can style it using a wig brush or comb. Do not use a regular brush or comb, as this can cause frizz or damage the synthetic fibers. You can also use a styling product designed for synthetic wigs to help hold the curls in place.
Remember to handle the wig gently throughout the cleaning and styling process to avoid damaging the synthetic fibers.
