Caring For Stock And Custom Wigs

* Place in a bowl of lukewarm water and add one capful of high-quality wig shampoo such as Dimples brand.
* Immerse the wig into the water, shake it gently and leave it for three minutes.
* Repeat the process using three capfuls of high-quality wig conditioner.
* Rinse in clear water.

The Tricks To Styling Properly

Styling the custom wig made from human or fiber hair is simple once the process is understood. It is important to not brush when it is wet, but wait until it is completely dry. When brushing a wig when it is either being worn or not, always hold the base of the part that is being brushed to avoid the hair being pulled out. For wigs with longer hair, use a wire pinhead brush to gently tease the wig back into style.

A hairdryer, heated rollers and curling tong can be used in order style the wig to the preferred look, but only with human hair. As always, be careful to not burn the hair by holding the heat for too long. For a natural look, scrunch the curls into style and be sure to not over brush, as this will cause the style to be lost.

On the other hand, it is important to never use a hairdryer or any form of heat either direct or indirect on fiber hair. To increase the life of the wholesale wig, use quality fiber oil when brushing to reduce knotting and tangling, leaving it looking healthy and shiny.

There are many special products, ranging from shampoo and quality fiber oil conditioner to spray and gel that are specially made to care for wigs as well as hold the style that should be used on a consistent basis.

Storing To Ensure Wigs Last Over Time

When storing wigs, always be sure to store away from direct sunlight. Fiber wigs tend to fade if worn or stored in the sunlight often, so avoiding direct exposure to sunlight will ensure the wig will last longer.

When the wig is not in use, its preferable to keep it on a block or stand. Not only will storing on a block or stand keep the wig's shape, but it will also prevent the hairs from tangling and knotting.

Whether you purchase wholesale wigs or custom wigs from a retailer, always consult the website or shop to see if there are any additional tips to protecting your investment.
