SYNTHETIC
WIG STYLING AND CARE
When you buy
a synthetic wig you will need to do some preparation before
wearing it. Because most wigs have been in a package on
the shelf for some time they usually need a little freshening
up. We have compiled a list of DO's and DON'TS when caring
for your wig.

all of our synthetic
wigs
DO’S:
• Shorter wigs can be shaken to add volume
• Longer wigs can be combed or finger styled
• It is ok to use Hairspray, Pomade, or Styling
"Glue" to style
• Hand held steamers can be used for styling ~ great
for straight looks
• Add a light oil based spray conditioner to add
shine
• Only use a wig shampoo for washing ~ Dry wig on
a wire drying rack before styling
• Store wig in a box or on a wig stand to prevent
it from flattening
• You may use a wig
cap to help the wig stay in place ~ use clips or hair
pins to affix the wig to the cap
• You may use spirit gum for those styles that show
a hairline. ~ gluing down the hairline along the top or
gluing down sideburns on men's wigs. Be sure to also use
the proper remover to remove any spirit gum residue from
your skin and the wig lining after every use.
DON’TS:
• Never use high heat on a synthetic wig, it will
melt ~ E.g. blow-dryer, curling, straightening iron, or
even an open oven will damage the fiber and ruin the wig
• Never comb the wig while it's wet
• Never brush a curly style ~ Use your fingers or
a comb to style, brushing the curls will cause frizzing
• Never use Mousse or Gel, they will not work on
synthetic wigs and may cause flaking
With the proper
care and storage your wig can last a long time without fading.
