They often wonder how to <strong>wash a synthetic wig the right way without damage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, you will learn how to do it easily. Let&#8217;s get started!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What You Need for Washing a Synthetic Wig?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended items for washing synthetic wigs need to be gentle on the fibers. Here is a list of tools you will need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Wig Brush<\/li><li>Synthetic Wig Shampoo&nbsp;<\/li><li>Conditioner&nbsp;<\/li><li>Towel&nbsp;<\/li><li>Wig Stand<\/li><li>Large Bowl\/Sink&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>How to Wash A Synthetic Wig? (Step By Step)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Washing a synthetic wig is quite different from human hair wigs. Follow the steps below to revive your synthetic wig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Properly Wash &amp; Maintain Synthetic Wigs\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Su7yzosgaCM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>STEP 1: Detangle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin by brushing using short strokes to eliminate knots, tangles, and any spay buildups on the hair fibers. Brush through your wig gently from the bottom as you work your way up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, ensure you use a <a href=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wig-brush\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wig brush<\/a> or wide-toothed comb to avoid ripping off and damaging the fibers. Also, it is best not to brush the wig when wet; otherwise, it will get more frizzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Detangle-Synthetic-Hair.png\" alt=\"Detangle Synthetic Hair\" class=\"wp-image-5854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Detangle-Synthetic-Hair.png 750w, https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Detangle-Synthetic-Hair-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>STEP 2: Soak<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a large bowl and fill it halfway <strong>with cold water<\/strong>. Add one to two tablespoons of wig <a href=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/how-to-choose-the-best-shampoo-conditioner-for-synthetic-wigs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shampoo<\/a>, depending on the buildup on your wig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, use a wig <a href=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/best-shampoos-for-synthetic-hair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shampoo for synthetic hair<\/a> instead of human hair shampoo as it will damage synthetic fibers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Soak-Synthetic-Hair.png\" alt=\"Soak Synthetic Hair\" class=\"wp-image-5721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Soak-Synthetic-Hair.png 750w, https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Soak-Synthetic-Hair-300x159.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Swirl the mixture using your fingers to form suds. Put your wig inside the cold water and let it soak for about 5 to 10 minutes. Depending on how dirty the wig is, you can let it soak a little longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong>&nbsp;If the wig is prone to tangling, you need to skip the soaking. Instead, hold it up and allow water to run over it from the top to the ends. This way, you can avoid any more knots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/soak-synthetic-wigs.png\" alt=\"soak synthetic wigs\" class=\"wp-image-5829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/soak-synthetic-wigs.png 750w, https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/soak-synthetic-wigs-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>STEP 3: Wash<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After soaking, take the wig and dip it up and down in the water. If you spot makeup debris on the cap, remove them using your fingers. You can work with a toothbrush or a soft mini brush to remove tough stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Run cold water on the wig and rinse thoroughly while gently on the strands. Continue rinsing as you change the water until it becomes clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wash-synthetic-wigs.png\" alt=\"wash synthetic wigs\" class=\"wp-image-5830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wash-synthetic-wigs.png 750w, https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wash-synthetic-wigs-300x115.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then refill the bowl with cool, clean water and add one to two tablespoons of synthetic wig conditioner. Dip the wig in the solution and work the wig strands using your fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to rinse out the conditioner. Do so by running cold water and rinsing the wig again thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to the wig cap when rinsing to avoid leftover conditioners that could make the caps slippery later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>STEP 4: Dry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The strands of the wigs become heavy with water, and they risk stretching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, use a clean towel to pat the wig to manage the weight. You can also put the wig between a towel and squeeze it between your hands with care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then hang your wig on a wig stand for it to air dry. The wig should take a few hours before drying completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/air-dry-synthetic-hair.png\" alt=\"air dry synthetic hair\" class=\"wp-image-5714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/air-dry-synthetic-hair.png 750w, https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/air-dry-synthetic-hair-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to enhance the volume after drying, use basic rollers and let them sit overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong>&nbsp;Do not hang a dripping synthetic wig on wig stands to prevent hair fibers and the cap from stretching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Dry-synthetic-wigs.png\" alt=\"Dry synthetic wigs\" class=\"wp-image-5828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Dry-synthetic-wigs.png 750w, https:\/\/wigsmaster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Dry-synthetic-wigs-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>FAQs about Washing Synthetic Wigs<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1663773075605\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How often should I wash the synthetic wig?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Washing your synthetic wig will depend on how frequently you use it.

As the washing machine moves rapidly with a fast spin cycle and can tangle or rip the wig strands.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1663773093392\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Should I Wash a New Synthetic Wig Before I Wear It?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>My suggestion is to wash any wig before wearing it. A new wig might have a residual smell or chemicals left on during manufacturing. Washing will remove such debris and prevent scalp irritation when you wear the wig.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1663773094325\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can You Wash Synthetic Wigs With Fabric Softener?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you do not have a wig conditioner, you can use a fabric softener.

Instead, pick a shampoo with a neutral blend.
