1. Pre-Wash Your Wig with Natural Oil
To revive a human hair wig, start by adding moisture. Coat your wig with a conditioning treatment. Use a natural oil like Moroccan oil or coconut oil.
Apply the oil or treatment evenly over your wig. Then, cover your wig with a shower cap and let it sit for about 30 minutes to moisturize.
2. Shampoo Your Wig
Wash your wig to rinse out all the pre-wash oil. Make sure the water runs in the same direction as the hair to prevent tangling. Carefully lather your wig with a moisturizing shampoo.
3. Moisturize Your Wig
After rinsing out the shampoo, apply a moisturizing conditioner like Jon Renau’s Argan Smooth Luxury Conditioner. Cover your wig thoroughly from the front to the tips.
Focus on the nape and tips, adding extra conditioner to these dry areas. Let the conditioner sit for three to five minutes to restore softness and shine.
Rinse the conditioner out completely. To remove tangles, gently run a comb or your fingers through the wig until the knots are gone.
4. Deep Condition Your Wig
Next in our guide on how to restore a human hair wig is applying a deep conditioner. Ensure your chosen conditioner coats the entire wig, adding extra product to the ends. Top picks include Ellen Wille Hairpower Human Hair Intensive Recovery Mask and Gisela Mayer’s Absolute Repair Human Hair.
5. Dry Your Wig
After rinsing out all the product, it’s time to dry your human hair wig. Be careful to avoid damage and tangles.
Gently squeeze your wig to remove excess water, then lay it on a dry towel. Cover the wig with the other half of the towel and press gently to remove more water.
Place your wig on a wig stand to air dry, which is the safest method. If you prefer to style your wig, you can blow-dry it using low heat and a comb. Remember to apply a heat protectant spray first!
