  • My wig has tangled at the nape, what can I do?

    Some wigs do tangle at the nape and it’s caused by hair rubbing the back and shoulders. This is known as Friction RubIf your wig is shoulder length or the hair is thin then your wig is more likely to matt.

    How you can prevent this:

    Brush your wig regularly and when washing leave the conditioner in for 5 minutes to prevent the hair from tangling and drying. Purchase a wig stand and keep your wig on there overnight. Fibre Hair wigs are also quite common to matt.

    You can also subscribe to our WigScription Aftercare service and send your piece back to Pure Wigs to be professionally managed.

  • How do I look after my Fibre Wig?

    It’s important that you use the right product for your Synthetic Fibre Wigs and Hairpieces. We recommend the Dimples Fibre Oil Conditioner and T Fibre Range to care for these type of products. To prevent the fibres from splitting, and keeping the wig from frizzing use a brush or comb that is designed for Synthetic wigs.

    Synthetic (Fibre) Wig and Hairpiece Care

    Synthetic Wigs are easy to care for and you should only need to wash your wig once every 10 – 12 times worn. These wigs shorten in lifespan each time it is washed, but there are ways you can keep and maintain your wig for longer! A wig cap will help absorb your natural scalp oils and try using less styling products as possible. Following these steps will reduce how much you wash your wig and will keep your wig looking brand new for longer.

    Here are some tips to maintain your wig:

    1. With your Synthetic Fibre brush or comb, gently brush through your wig removing any tangles always check for a tag on your wig as some wigs should not be brushed, especially if a curly wig! 
    2. Longer styles can become more matted at the back, try applying a wig spray as a lubricant and gently brush or comb through.
    3. When your wig is tangle free you can wash your wig in luke warm water. Never use hot water as this can damage the fibres!
    4. Using a Synthetic wig Shampoo, pour two caps into luke warm water and let your wig submerge in the sink for 5 minutes before washing. Do not apply this product straight onto the hair fibres as it will make it lank and sticky
    5. Rinse your wig in cold water until no suds remain. It’s okay to separate any tangles and strands with your fingers as your wig dry’s Do not twist or wring your wig. You can dry your wig on a towel to leave overnight or if you have a wig stand your wig will dry quicker!
    6. Once your wig is dry spray conditioner onto the wig so you can later brush through oils that were lost when you washed your wig.

    Remember to not ever apply electric appliances onto your Synthetic wig or hair piece, unless it is heat resistant. It will frizz the fibres and can even melt them!
