Washing the curly human hair wig

Prepare hot water

I’m going to put hot water as hot as you can stand it in the sink, because once I put the wig in the sink I wanted to break down all of the products that I have put in there, there’s all of the dirt and everything like that, you will see what I’m talking about in a second.

Submerge the wig into the water about 15 minutes

Submerge the wig into the water, if you a person that doesn’t like hot water, you can always use something to push the wig down, but this is essentially what I wanted to do or what I’m going for and I’m gonna let it sit for a little bit, I had to put some more water, because the water do not fully cover the wig, then let the wig sit for about 15 minutes.

Washing it with shampoo

Now that your wig is soaked in the sink, it’s time to add some shampoo. Before I actually start washing the wig this is the shampoo that I’m choosing to use, I got it like years ago what this brand and I just stuck with it for all of my wigs, but you can us really any shampoo that you feel comfortable, it doesn’t have to be this exact brand.

Rinsing the wig

When rinsing this wig I chose to use warm water, you can use cold water as well. I personally don’t especially if I’m not finished washing away, I’m not finished doing things with the wig I use warm into my last rinse.

Washing again

Then I’m gonna wash the hair one more time, because if you didn’t notice before the hair was dipping into the dirty water, so I’m just gonna wash it one more time, just to make sure that we got all that dirt out and then condition the hair

This is the wig after I have washed it and now I’m just styling it, how I like it to be styled on a regular basis, you can put this wig on a mannequin hair a bedpost really whatever will hold it, I’m just gonna let it air dry, I’m gonna put any heat to this wig any of it.

How to wash and condition curly human hair wig – final result

This is the final result, so looking at this wig, I realized one thing, I forgot to do this, whenever it was wet I normally take just a tad bit of oil and run it through the wig while it’s wet so it’ll keep those curls from getting frizzy, totally forgot to do that, but it’s okay because the way it still came out nice, but this is the result of the wash I love it, I hope you guys do too.
