How to Care for Your Human Hair Wig

A human hair wig isn’t just a beauty investment — it’s a crown you wear daily. With the right care, your Luxe & Co wig can stay soft, lustrous, and stunning for years. Here’s your expert guide to keeping it flawless.

1️⃣ Washing Your Human Hair Wig

How Often:
➔ Every 7–10 wears, or when product buildup and environment exposure require it.

Materials Needed:

• Sulfate-free shampoo (moisturizing or color-safe)
• Hydrating conditioner
• Wide-tooth comb or detangling brush
• Towel
• Wig stand or mannequin head
• Lukewarm water

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Detangle: Gently detangle from the ends upward with a wide-tooth comb to prevent breakage.
2. Rinse: Hold the wig under lukewarm running water, letting the water flow downward.
3. Shampoo: Apply sulfate-free shampoo using soft downward strokes. No scrubbing or twisting.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: Remove all shampoo by rinsing in a downward motion.
5. Condition: Apply hydrating conditioner, avoiding the base/cap area.
6. Hydrate: Let conditioner sit for 5–10 minutes.
7. Final Rinse: Rinse with cool water to seal cuticles and boost shine.

2️⃣ Drying Your Human Hair Wig

Towel Drying:
Pat gently to absorb moisture — never wring or twist.

Air Drying:
Place on a wig stand or mannequin head. Let air-dry naturally, away from direct sunlight and heat.

Blow Drying (Optional):
Use low heat + heat protectant spray. Dry section by section with a round or paddle brush.

3️⃣ Styling Your Wig

Heat Styling:
- Always use a heat protectant.
- Keep tools below 350°F (177°C).
- Minimize heat exposure for longer wig life.

Curling & Straightening:
- Use flexi rods, steam rollers, or curling irons for curls.
- For sleek looks, flat iron with slow, smooth strokes.

Parting & Baby Hairs:
- Use a fine-tooth comb and a light mousse to set parts.
- Style baby hairs with a soft edge brush for realism.

4️⃣ Wig Storage

Daily Storage:
- Place on a wig stand or mannequin to maintain shape.
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from dust and humidity.

Long-Term Storage:
- Wrap in a silk or satin bag.
- Never store in plastic — it traps moisture and risks mold.

5️⃣ Maintenance & Longevity Tips

Detangling:
- Detangle before and after each wear.
- Use leave-in conditioner sparingly for added moisture.

Refreshing:
- Deep-condition every 3–4 weeks.
- Apply a tiny amount of argan, coconut, or jojoba oil if needed.

Preventing Shedding:
- Reinforce knots (for lace wigs) with a knot-sealing spray.
- Avoid excessive pulling and tugging when styling.
- Sleep only with a silk bonnet or scarf if wearing overnight.

💬 Final Word

With thoughtful care, your Luxe & Co human hair wig will stay soft, manageable, and stunning far beyond the expected lifespan.
➔ Treat it like the crown it is — because you deserve nothing less.
