Washing Your Colored Human Hair Wigs

The more often you wash wig, the quicker the color will fade, and therefore, finding a well-balanced wash schedule is ideal.

Every 6-8 weeks, washing the wig keeps it fresh and free of product residue and buildup.
To get the best results, rinse the wig with lukewarm water and gently lather a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo onto the hair at the roots.
To wash the wig, use a wig stand or a hanger instead of a big bowl, which can cause tangling.

Hydrating Your Colored Human Hair Wigs

Colored human hair wigs like natural hair tend to get very dry and therefore, they must be hydrated well and often.

After washing out the shampoo, use a hair mask with hydrating ingredients like oils and shea butter and a hydrating conditioner on the ends.

Lather a generous amount, leave it in for 5-10 minutes and wash it out using lukewarm water.
After washing, make sure to use a leave-in serum or a lightweight oil along the ends to keep the hair looking shiny and lustrous.

Styling Your Colored Human Hair Wigs

Drying hair wigs and styling correctly is arguably one of the best ways to keep the hair free of hair fall and damage for a long time.

Dry the hair gently without wringing it, and use a cotton t-shirt for the least frizzy hair. Gently squeeze out any excess water and let it air dry.

If you wish to dry it quicker, then use a heat protectant spray that is safe for color-treated hair along its length and then style.
Since colored human hair wigs are already prone to damage and dryness, avoid styling as much as possible, but if you must, then use a low heat setting and use keratin-infused products to seal in the style after while giving off a healthy feel.

Extending the Shelf-Life of Your Colored Human Hair Wigs

Nourishment has been discussed, but these steps are equally essential to extend longevity and get a true return on investment on your colored human hair wigs.

At night before sleeping, either remove the wig or install it or use a silk bonnet to wrap the hair into it to prevent matting and tangling.
With color-treated hair, you must avoid chlorine at all costs; however, if you must go into the water, then use a swim cap for maximum protection.
Most importantly for hairfall, use a detangler spray and a wide-tooth comb before washing the hair and make sure to be gentle.
Visit a professional at regular intervals to make sure your hair is healthy and you don't need to make any more alterations to your hair care routine.
