The longer and finer texture of the hair can cause tangling easily, regularly detangling smaller knots will help avoid the development of larger tangles in the future.

Protect your wig from excessive heat exposure

Be Mindful of caution near hot ovens, stoves, and grills, as the heat can permanently damage synthetic wig fibers, causing singeing. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and excessive sweating on the neck. Prioritize the use of heat-protectant sprays before styling with hot tools to preserve hair texture and minimize tangles, and using heat-protectant sprays can extend the wig's lifespan.

The Application Of the Right Products

Safeguard your hair at night by putting hair up in pineapple (loose puff on top of your head) or use a satin scarf or bonnet to prevent any tangles. This protects against knots, maintaining hair health and moisture. Choose a silky bonnet to allow hair to glide smoothly, reducing snags, friction, and static, while avoiding cotton and fibrous materials.

Make Different Hairstyles In Special Weather

Store Your Wig In the Proper Place
