As wig specialists, At Advent Hair, we understand the importance of keeping high-quality wigs in good shape. They not only come at a high price, but they also have a significant impact on our appearance and confidence.Proper care and maintenance can help your wig last longer and look more natural. Here are some tips for maintaining your high-quality wig.

1. Brushing

Brushing is one of the most important aspects of wig upkeep. It is, nevertheless, vital to use the correct brush for your wig. Always use a wig brush with gentle bristles designed specifically to protect wig fibers. Brush your wig gently and avoid using too much force, as this can cause the fibers to break or become damaged. Always start from the ends and work your way up to the roots.

2. Washing

Washing your wig is also crucial to maintain its natural look and prevent the accumulation of dirt and oils. However, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding how often you should wash your wig, as over-washing can damage the fibers.

To wash your wig, fill a sink with cool water and add a small amount of shampoo designed for wigs. Gently swirl the wig in the water, then rinse it thoroughly with cool water. Avoid rubbing or twisting the wig, as this can cause tangling or damage. After rinsing, gently pat the wig with a towel to remove excess water, and then lay it flat to dry on a wig stand. Avoid using a hair dryer, as the heat can damage the fibers.

3. Styling

Styling your wig can help you achieve the desired look and enhance your appearance. However, it's essential to use the right styling products and tools to prevent damage to the wig.

Always use products designed specifically for wigs, such as styling sprays or gels. Avoid using regular hair products, as they can contain harsh chemicals that can damage the fibers. Also, avoid using heated styling tools, such as curling irons or flat irons, as the heat can damage the fibers of the wig. Instead, use a low-heat setting or try alternative styling methods, such as foam rollers or flexi rods.

4. Storage

Proper storage is also important for maintaining the natural look and longevity of your wig. When you're not wearing your wig, store it on a wig stand to help maintain its shape and prevent tangling. Avoid storing your wig in direct sunlight, as this can cause fading or damage to the fibers. Also, avoid storing your wig near sources of heat or humidity, as this can cause frizz or damage.

5. Avoiding Environmental Influences

Wind, rain, and high temperatures can all have an impact on the natural appearance and longevity of your wig. If you are going to be exposed to these elements, wear a scarf or hat to protect your wig. Also, some might say to avoid swimming or bathing while wearing your wig because chlorine and seawater can cause fiber damage. But, our mission here at Advent Hair is to allow you to do all of the wonderful things you could do when you had your natural hair. But to do those activities, there are certain things you must do, before, to ensure the best treatment for your hair system, and we talk more about them in our Everything You Need To Know About Your Hair System Care and Maintenance Guide.

6. Ongoing Maintenance

Regular upkeep can help your wig last longer and look more natural. It's critical to check your wig on a regular basis for symptoms of damage or wear, such as shedding or tangling. If you find any problems, treat them once away to avoid further damage.

Last but not least, regular care and upkeep are necessary to maintain your high-quality wig appearing realistic and durable. If you adhere to these recommendations, you may keep your wig feeling and looking great for many years.
