Washing
If you wear your wig every day, wash it every 3 weeks. This recommendation will vary depending on the weather conditions and your routine such as where you go and what you do. To wash your wig, you’ll need a wig brush, wig shampoo & conditioner, and a clean towel.
Step 1: Detangle

Once the wig is detangled, rinse it with cool or lukewarm water. Do not rub or massage the wig.

Apply a small amount of high-quality mild shampoo to the wet hair, and comb the shampoo through the hair from top to bottom. Do not scrub the hair.
Step 4: Rinse
When the wig is ready to be washed, rinse it again with cold water from the top down to remove shampoo. Do not squeeze your wig.
