Wigs can be worn for 4-6 weeks. But no matter the wig we wear or our natural hair, they should be conditioned regularly and on time.

But that doesn't mean you can use high heat on human hair wigs as often as you like. Please style your wigs with less heat if possible. Because high heat will take away the moisture from your wig, making it more frizzy and dry, and even hair loss.

4) Store Your Wig

In addition to the daily use process, storage is also very important. After washing, make sure your wig is completely dry, then please keep it in a dry place, be sure to avoid a humid environment, because this may make your wig smell or even moldy, which is definitely not what you want to see.
