How to care for synthetic wigs

Start with the decision, not the product

Detangling, heat limits, storage, and when a fiber has reached the end of its routine. Begin with how often you wear a wig, how much setup you want, and what you need to protect or simplify.

Key questions

• What cap construction matches the way you actually wear the unit?
• What can you verify from the seller rather than assume from a photo?
• Which part of the routine needs an accessory, and which part does not?

Practical next step

Use the related checklist, measure before ordering, and keep a note of the seller’s current return, care, and sizing instructions. If the information conflicts, pause rather than guessing.
