This video is a short documentation by Leslie Palmer, a Wig Expert, on how to care for a synthetic wig in order to prolong its life. It simplifies the process and makes it easier to understand, while comforting the user.
How to care for synthetic wigs. They can be washed. They can be conditioned with synthetic fiber.
Obviously, with synthetic hair, you have to be careful. You do not use heat, you do not use tongs, you do not try to change the structure of it by any form of heat. That doesn't mean you can't use warm water; some companies, when they supply wigs, they say, “Only use cold water”.
This is really to protect their own interests, because if you say to people you can use any temperature, they might use something extremely hot, which could distort the fiber. But I would always suggest to use warm water. Let the wig soak for a few minutes, thoroughly rinse it off with a shower, then put your fiber conditioner on, let the wig dry, and then mold it into shape to suit your style.
Looking after a synthetic wig isn't hard. As I always say, if you need guidance, go to the professional and make sure you get the right information. We ourselves have wash and care instructions.
We supply these with every wig that a client buys from us, so that they know what to do and how to do it. However, we are always at the end of a phone call. If you want to have information, we are here to give it to you.
That is how you look after a synthetic wig. .
