How to Wash a Wig

• Remove the wig.
• Brush the wig gently with a wig brush, getting rid of all tangles.
• Fill a sink with cold water.
• Add a capful (about 1 tbsp.) of wig shampoo.
• Place the wig in soapy water and swish it around with your fingers for a minute or two.
• Use a soft toothbrush to remove any makeup stains. Use a paste of baking soda and shampoo on stubborn makeup stains.
• Let the wig soak in the sink for about five minutes.
• Drain the soapy water out and refill the sink with clean, cool water.
• Rinse the wig until all the shampoo is removed. You may have to change the water a few times.
• Gently blot the excess water with a dry towel. Do not wring the wig out.
• Let the wig air-dry on a wig stand, or turn it inside out and lay flat to dry.
• Spray on a wig conditioner and style your wig after it has dried.
