Your guide to caring for curly wigs

Detangle Curly Wigs In Sections

The first rule of curly hair wig maintenance is detangling in sections. Never use a comb to brush or detangle a curly wig, as this can disturb the curl patterns and lead to frizz.

Divide the hair wigs into small sections and use your fingers to remove tangles from the bottom up. Detangling from top to bottom will cause more knots and make the process even longer.

Wash Curly Hair Wigs With Care

When it comes to maintaining short, curly wigs, washing them carefully is important.

Soak curly hair wigs like the Felicity Wig by Especially Yours in a solution of lukewarm water and moisturizing Wig Shampoo.

Then, swirl the wig around and gently massage the cap and fibers to remove dirt and build-ups.

Follow it up by rinsing the wig under cool water until it clears.

Air Dry Curly Short Wigs

After rinsing out the shampoo, pat the excess water from curly short wigs like the Arlo Wig by Especially Yours and let it air-dry in a cool, dry place.

Moisturize Curly Wigs Frequently

Moisturizing is the most important part of caring for your curly hair wigs. It can add life to your wig and keep it looking fresh and healthy.

Without proper moisturizing, your wig can dry out. Use a Wig Conditioner to restore luster to your short afro wigs after every wash.

Spritz the conditioner from mid-length to the ends and let it work its magic.

Storing Curly Wigs

Proper storage is key to maintaining your wig’s style. Keep your wig on a Wig Stand when not in use. This will help with preserving the wig’s shape and prevent tangles from forming.

Store the wig in a dry place away from direct heat sources and sunlight.

How Long Does A Curly Wig Last?

The way you care for your curly wig will really determine its lifespan. A wig that’s taken care of daily can last 3 to 6 months. So, if you have a curly wig, take care of it like you would your natural hair, and you’ll be fine.

How Often Should You Wash Curly Wigs?

You should wash your curly wig once every 7 to 10 days or once every five to ten wears. Washing too often can cause the wig to dry out, so washing should always be accompanied by a good moisturizing routine.
