Never, ever use regular human hair shampoo on your wigs. Harsh chemicals in regular shampoos and conditioners will cause irreversible damage to both synthetic and human hair wigs. The chemicals can permanently dry out the hair and leave it brittle, frizzy, and prone to breakage and tangles. It can also cause buildup on the wig; shortening its life span; dull the hair fibers; and make your wigs look frizzy, matted, or unnaturally shiny.

To clean your wig, use a wig-friendly shampoo and conditioner. Wig-friendly shampoos are sulfate-free and paraben-free, and are specially formulated to clean the hair fibers gently and thoroughly. You can find wig-friendly shampoo at most drugstores and beauty supply stores.

Baking soda- Baking soda is a good alternative to wig shampoo. Fill your sink with 3 quarts of warm water, add ½ to ¾ cups of baking soda. Dissolve the baking soda completely to avoid any chalky residue, then submerge your brushed out wig into the water. Soak for 4 hours or overnight. After soaking, rinse the wig well and proceed to dry it.

Dish soap- Use a mild dish soap to rid your wig cap of makeup and oil. Fill your sink with cold water, add a small amount of dish soap, and gently squeeze the soapy water through the wig. Dry your wig as normal.

Curly hair is extremely fragile and most prone to breakage when wet, so your shampoo and shampooing technique matter.
