Nov
Have you ever worn wigs and know how important is to keep them attractive? Severe winters, high summer humidity, and erratic temperatures bound Ottawa. Such conditions can damage the hairpiece, affecting both synthetic and human hair wigs. Our team at Riona Beauty knows that keeping a wig looking new requires significant effort.
Following are ten tips on how to do just that, no matter the weather in Ottawa.
-
Wash Your Wig Regularly but Gently
Wash your wig after every 8-10 wears whether its s synthetic or human hair wig. Rinse with warm water, wig shampoo is recommended for washing the wig. Rub the shampoo in your hands, circular motions in the wig especially the base part of the wig.
-
Use Conditioner for Smoothness and Shine
Whatever conditioning you do for your hair will also soften and shine the wig. For synthetic hair wigs, use a conditioner that is specifically for wigs and is friendly to these wigs. While for human hair wigs, you should go for a sulfate free conditioner. Use it in the middle half of the hair right up to the tips of the hair strands. Do not rub it on the scalp. Wash it with cold water that will help to seal the conditioner; then you need to towel it carefully.
-
Air-Dry Your Wig
To avoid cases of hair heat-damage, let your wig dry naturally over a wig stand. Do not operate hair dryers because they can damage synthetic material and cause human hair wigs to become dry. A cool setting on a blow dryer should do if using a wig made of human hair. This method causes less damage to the wig and helps maintain its form.
-
Avoid Direct Sunlight
The sun heat can damage your wig over time: especially if it is summer in Ottawa. When not using your wig, keep it in a cooler place. In extreme heat conditions you can wear a scarf or hat to protect your wig. This assists in retention of color and shields from the UV effects. Which could otherwise dull the color of your wig.
-
Protect from Humidity and Frizz
Ottawa's humidity can cause frizz, particularly in human hair wigs. Use a lightweight anti-frizz spray or serum to keep your wig smooth. Apply it sparingly to avoid a heavy look. For synthetic wigs, look for a wig-specific anti-static spray to combat flyaway and static buildup.
-
Store Your Wig Properly
When you're not wearing your wig, store it on a wig stand in a cool, dry place. This practice prevents it from tangling and losing its shape. Buy a wig storage bag for long-term storage; it protects the wig and allows air circulation to prevent odors.
-
Brush with Care
Always use a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush. Avoid using your hands to set your wigs. But for curly wigs, use your fingers instead to avoid ruining the curls. Regular, gentle brushing prevents tangles and keeps the wig looking neat.
-
Limit Heat Styling
If you love to style your wig, remember that heating tools can damage it. Use low-heat environment for human hair wigs and avoid heat entirely for synthetic wigs unless they are heat-resistant. Opt for non-heat styling methods like rollers or braids to achieve curls or waves without damaging the wig fibers.
-
Be Gentle with Synthetic Wigs
Synthetic wigs can look fantastic, but they need extra care. Avoid any heat styling on non-heat-resistant synthetic wigs, as high temperatures can cause permanent damage. Stick to wig-friendly products and avoid regular shampoos, which may be too harsh. A little extra caution keeps synthetic wigs looking fresh for longer.
-
Refresh with Wig Sprays
Invest in wig-specific sprays for refreshing and styling. These sprays add a light fragrance, remove static, and make your wig look newly styled. Use them between washes to freshen up your wig without the need for frequent washing.
