Today's blog will share with you four most practical care methods so that you can easily achieve salon-level care effects with simple materials and tools at home and make your wig look brand new!
How to Revamp A Wig-4 Practical Methods
Method 1
First, comb your wig thoroughly to remove tangles. Prepare a large basin or pot, fill it with warm water, add an appropriate amount of shampoo, and stir it thoroughly to dissolve it completely. Dipping your wig in and out. If a lace wig needs glue to secure, you can use a soft brush to gently remove the residual glue on the lace part or remove the concealer, eye shadow, or liquid foundation applied. Repeat the above cleaning steps until the water becomes clear.
Next, mix the conditioner with water, immerse the wig in the mixture, and gently comb it with your hands to let the hair absorb the moisture. You don’t need to stay for a long time in this step; just make sure that every hair is fully nourished, and then rinse it thoroughly with clean water. Mix the hair mask and coconut oil in a 1:1 ratio for deep conditioning and apply it to the entire wig. Put these bags in a bowl and add hot water, then cover and allow it to absorb the treatment for 1 hour. Finally, rinse it with clean water, and the wig will have a soft and bright texture.
Method 2
Boiling is a quick way to restore the luster of human hair wigs, especially for wigs that have become dry. First prepare a pot of water, soak the wig in the pot, and add conditioner, silicone oil, and crystal hair dye (such as Adore Rinse, which can make the wig more shiny after styling) in a one-to-one ratio. Then drizzle in two circles of olive oil, avocado oil, or other nourishing oil. Then mix well until the water is cloudy. Boil hair for 45 minutes, then rinse with cold water, squeeze out excess water, and then apply conditioner to the wig and let it sit overnight. Rinse with cold water and comb the next day, and you will find that the wig is as silky and smooth as new.
Method 3
If you have a steamer, you can try a steam treatment to deeply repair your wig. Soak the wig in a mixture of shampoo and warm water for about five minutes, then gently comb from the tips to the tops to remove tangles. Next, apply the same amount of mixture of silicone mix and hair mask to ensure that every hair strand is moisturized. Put the wig in a plastic bag and steam it in a steamer for 50 minutes. Finally, rinse it with warm water and let it dry. The wig will become refreshed again.
Method 4
If you don't have a steamer or extra pot to heat your wig at home, you can actually use a microwave to do a simple heat treatment. The first few steps are the same as the previous three methods. The difference is that after fully applying the hair treatment, wrap the wig with a plastic bag and put it in a microwave oven on medium heat for 10 minutes. The principle is actually the same. High temperatures can open the hair scales of the hair, allowing the nutrients of the product to penetrate better. The disadvantage of this method is that you can't operate too many wigs at a time because the capacity of the microwave oven is not that large. Finally, rinse it with warm water and dry it. This method is simple and efficient, very suitable for when time is tight, and can quickly restore the softness and luster of the wig.
Final Words
Whether your wig has been worn daily or washed frequently, you can give it a new lease of life with the right method. The four care methods shared above are not only practical and easy to operate, but can also easily achieve salon-level care effects at home. Wig maintenance can not only extend its service life but also keep it smooth and shiny. I hope these tips can help you and make your wig glow with new brilliance!
