How to wash a human hair wig?
Β A human hair wig is expensive, but it is definitely worth every penny. Since wigs are made from genuine hair, they need to be washed regularly. Soak the wig for 5 minutes in a clean sink filled with warm water and 1-2 drops of shampoo, then turn the wig inside out and soak it for 5 minutes. Gently twist the wig to distribute the shampoo evenly and avoid tangles, then rinse it off under running cold water. However, as wigs are very sensitive, you will need to take extra care.
