Can I use a regular shampoo to wash my wig?
No. You cannot. Or rather you should not. 13x4 Lace Frontal shampoos are far gentler than your regular shampoos. Regular shampoos are made to strip off the oil that your scalp produces. Since wigs don’t come in contact with your scalp, it doesn’t accumulate the oil. If you use regular shampoo on a synthetic wig, it will strip off the chemicals that keep it softer. If you use it on a human hair wig, it can change or fade the color. If it’s colored or a highlighted wig, the regular shampoo will oxidize it and change its color.
Conclusion:
Even after washing it, you have to maintain it. You have to make sure that you never wear your 13x4 Lace Front Wig to bed. It will damage the hair fibers. Sunlight and chlorine water damages the hair fibers. With time you will lose hair, and the wig will not look the same as it looked when you first brought it. But if you maintain and take proper care, use wig shampoo, and follow other things mentioned in this article, your wig will last a much longer time than expected.
Does washing a wig ruin it?
You don't need us to tell you that washing your hair too often can dry it out, turn it brittle, and make it lose shine. The same is true of wigs, both synthetic and human hair wigs. If you're rotating your wigs, you should be able to wait a few days between washes.
Is it better to wash wig with hot or cold water?
Always use cool or cold water to rinse your wigs, not hot water. Hot water can damage the fibers of your wig – not a good idea!
How do you wash a wig for the first time?
Before washing any wig, gently finger comb your curly or use a wig comb on straight wigs to remove tangles. Always clean wigs in cool water; hot water will shred the wig hair. Another golden rule: a tablespoon of wig shampoo (and conditioner) will go a long way. Don't be heavy-handed.
