How do I wash my costume wig?

Answered By Carrie Higginson, Editor


Washing a costume wig is very easy. Here's how to wash your wig:

- Using a wig brush, carefully brush your costume wig.

- Fill sink with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of wig shampoo.

- Submerge wig for 1 minute and massage it gently. Be sure not to rub it.

- Then rinse it in cold water thoroughly.

- Pat the wig softly with a towel. Do not press or wring.

- Lightly spray with wig conditioner. It should be sprayed 10-12 inches from the wig.

- Air-dry your wig on a slim object. You may use a can of hairspray and cover it with hand towel. Do not use Styrofoam heads because it may stretch the cap.

- Remember to air dry only your wig. Do not use hair dryer and do not dry it in direct sunlight.

- Brush wig when it is completely dry.

You must remember, there are products that are specially designed for wigs. Never use a shampoo or any product intended for human hair.
