How to restore the fibrous wigs?

Current wigs are made from two main materials: artificial silk and real hair. Whatever the material, for used wigs, if you don’t take care of it properly, it will lead to poor hair quality, sclerosis, dryness, and stiffness. Repairing the wig has become a must to make the hair as soft as possible.

The way to recover wigs is through the following steps:

– Dilute shampoo into a basin of water.

– Dip the wig after being untangled and brush it smoothly into the basin, soak it for about 5 to 10 minutes (just soak it, not use your hand to rub the hair, because it will mess up the hair).

– After soaking your wig with shampoo, rinse it with water.

– Continue to dilute conditioner into the basin. Do the same soaking process as you did with shampoo and rinse it off with water. You should use a hair conditioner specifically for wigs that have higher conditioning to help restore hair.

– After that, put the hair in a soft towel and gently absorb it part by part (do not use your hands to rub your hair).

– When hair is about 70% – 80% dry, brush the wig with a thin comb and apply some hairspray, continue to let your hair dry completely. Thus, you have completed the restoration of the fibrous wig and will not be able to recognize the magic “transformation” of the wig anymore.
