Ways to Take Care of Your Wig This Winter

How to care for your wig in winter? Every season brings new challenges to our wig care. Winter weather can cause our skin and hair to become dry and damaged. Cold air is also dry, which can cause wigs that are not properly washed and conditioned to attract more static and even prematurely age.


In addition to cold temperatures, snowstorms, and icy roads, hair can also become very dry. Something about winter can take our hair from fluffy and shiny to frizzy and flat. It is very important to keep your hair moisturized because the harsh temperatures can dry it out and eventually break.
What is the solution? Here are a few top tips to help you prepare your wig for winter easily and effortlessly.
Tip 1: Deep Conditioning
Deep conditioning not only prevents frizz, dryness, and breakage, but it also restores the softness, thickness, and texture of wigs that have been exposed to dry air. Regular conditioners are not as moisturizing as deep conditioners, so you should use a deep conditioning conditioner several times a week.
Tip 2: Help your wig retain moisture
During the winter, dry weather can damage your wig. Dry weather strips moisture from your wig, which can make the human hair on your wig more brittle and more prone to breakage.


Tip 3: Keep it Dry
After washing your wig, always dry it completely before leaving the house. Not only do you risk getting sick walking around with cold, wet hair, but the fibers can freeze, causing breakage.
Tip 4: Cover Your Wig
Watch out for wig breakage. Since your hair may get a little dry over the next few months, try to avoid wearing items like wool hats, earmuffs, etc. Be mindful not only of the products you put on your hair, but also of what you put on your head.


Tip 5: Watch Out for Knots
During the winter, strong winds are more common, which can cause your wig to tangle. Unfortunately, small knots can easily turn into knots, which can damage your wig and cause the hair to fall out, which is impossible to replace. Wigs lack the natural oils that prevent normal hair from tangling.
Tip 6: Store Your Wig
The easiest way to store your wig when not in use is to place it on a wig head. There are many types of wig heads, however, using a wig head made of fabric or foam allows the pins to hold the wig securely on your head. We recommend using T-shaped pins and remind you to never pin directly on the top of a multi-directional head. Pin the wig on the sides of the top of the head and over the ears to ensure a secure fit.
