Wig washing

  • April 18, 2011 5:48 AM BST

    I was just wondering what techniques or tips people have for washing and rejuventaing tired-out synthetic wigs. I simply use cold water and a special gentle-wash detergent and leave the wig to steep for ten minutes or so. In my experience, this simple approach produces very good results and even restores curls (in formerly curly wigs). The use of warm water and curlers can also add curls to a synthetic wig. I also leave the wig to dry naturally, and can imagine that the use of a hair dryer might be detrimental though I'm not sure about this since I've never dried one in this way.

    Thanx for the info Katie, I am going to see if there are any video's on styling. I do some, but mostly I have a professional hair stylist do mine. Just not worth my time when he does them for ten dollars US.
