JACKIE SILVER: I'm Jackie Silver with how to care for a wig. With proper care, your wig can look stylish and beautiful for a long time whether you choose a synthetic hair wig or human hair. Wash your wig as little as possible to minimize damage to it. Washings can vary from every 12 wearings to every 25 wearings depending on whether it looks dirty or picks up odors. Long hair wigs tend to tangle more readily than short hair wigs. Curly hair wigs are a little more difficult to care for than straight hair wigs. Never brush wigs when they're wet. Use a plastic comb or pick to detangle your wig. Wigs can even get freezy looking, and some people have had success using the spray static guard to comb the freeze and make the hairs lay smoothly. It also helps to make brushing the wig easier. Use a wig form to store your wig when you're not wearing it. This can be purchased at most any wig store and may help keep the shape of the wig and keep it from tangling. Remember the most important tip for caring for your wig is to never brush it when it's wet. Also keep it on the wig form when you're not wearing it. Don't just throw it in the heap in your closet.
