Discover expert wig care advice from Laced by Faz with these 5 essential tips for maintaining your luxury wigs and ensuring their long-lasting beauty. Investing in a luxury wig is more than just making a style statement – it’s about embracing confidence and maintaining your best look. To ensure your wig continues to look flawless and lasts for years, proper care is essential. At Laced by Faz, we’ve put together these essential tips to help you keep your wig in perfect condition.

1. Wash Your Wig Properly

Why Is It Important? Regular washing removes dirt, oil, and product buildup, keeping your wig fresh and soft.
How to wash your wig:
• Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for wigs or extensions. Laced by Faz recommends: Chi Infra Shampoo and Conditioner (or the Keratin Treatment version), Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo and Conditioner, and Suave products.
• Gently detangle the wig with a wide-tooth comb before washing.
• Wash in cool or lukewarm water, never hot, to protect the fibers.
• Avoid scrubbing; instead, massage and lightly swish in water to prevent tangling.
Pro Tip: Limit washing to every 8–10 wears (or as needed) to avoid over-washing.

2. Store Your Wig Correctly

Proper storage preserves your wig’s shape, prevents tangling, and extends its lifespan. Here’s how to store your wig correctly:
• Place the wig on a wig stand or mannequin to maintain its form.
• Cover the wig with a satin or silk scarf to protect it from dust and frizz.
• Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Pro Tip: Avoid leaving your wig on flat surfaces, as this can deform its natural shape.

3. Use Heat Tools Cautiously

Why Is It Important? Excessive heat can damage your wigs, leading to dryness, shedding, and breakage.
How to style your wig:
• For human hair wigs, use a heat protectant spray before styling.
• Keep heat tools on low to medium settings to minimize damage.
Pro Tip: Experiment with heat-free styling methods. If possible, opt for heatless styling options such as flexi rods, overnight curling rods, twist-outs, braids, or buns for beautiful, damage-free results.

4. Detangle Gently and Regularly

Why It’s Important: Tangles can lead to breakage and shedding, especially with longer wigs.
How to detangle your wig:
• Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush designed for your wig type.
• Start detangling from the ends, working your way up to the roots.
Pro Tip: Always detangle your wig after each wear to prevent matting over time.

5. Avoid Overloading with Products

Why It’s Important: Too many products can weigh your wig down and make it look unnatural and greasy.
How to do it:
• Stick to lightweight, alcohol-free products made for wigs.
• Use minimal amounts of leave-in conditioners, oils, or styling sprays.
• Rinse thoroughly during washing to remove all product residue.
Pro Tip: Keep products away from the lace area to avoid buildup that can damage the lace and compromise its transparency and longevity.
