At AdventHair.com, we make it easy for you to care for your hairpiece or wig by supplying you with the tools and tips you need to get started. If you've just started wearing a hairpiece or wig and want to know how to properly maintain it, be sure to use some of these tips and hair care essentials from AdventHair.com. **Cleansing Your Hairpiece** To keep your [wig](https://www.adventhair.com/buyhairnow.html) or [hairpieces](https://www.adventhair.com/buyhairnow.html) looking great, you need to regularly cleanse it. Start out by filling a large bowl with cool water, about 2 quarts or so. Then, add about 2 ounces of hairpiece shampoo or cleanser to the water and swish around to mix. Place the hairpiece into the solution and soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Swish the hair around the soapy solution for a minute and then discard the soapy water. Rinse the hair well with cool water and gently shake out the excess. **Drying Your Hairpiece** To dry your [hairpieces](https://www.adventhair.com/buyhairnow.html), start out with a towel or a wire wig form. Either let the wig air dry naturally on the towel or place it on the wire form to let air pass through to help it dry. Never use a hairdryer on the wig or brush it while wet as it can cause damage. Once dry, you can spritz on a wig conditioner and style it as you normally would. **Caring for Your Hairpiece** Hairpieces and wigs should be washed about every 10 to 14 days, depending on how often you wear it. If you notice makeup or product buildup on the wig, it's usually time to give it a good cleansing. Speaking of buildup, if you encounter it on your hairpiece, use a toothbrush to gently get the gunk out during the washing process. **Finding Hairpiece Care Products** Looking to find the [wig shampoos](https://www.adventhair.com/shampoos.html) and [wig conditioners](https://www.adventhair.com/conditioners.html) needed to care for your wigs or [hairpieces](https://www.adventhair.com/buyhairnow.html)?
