If you wear a lace top human hair wig, you already know how stunning, versatile, and confidence-boosting it can be. Whether you wear your wig for fashion, medical hair loss, or to switch up your style, these pieces are an investment worth protecting.
Proper care doesn’t just keep your wig looking beautiful — it prolongs its life, maintains its softness and shine, and helps you feel your best every time you put it on.
Below, discover everything you need to know about how to care for your lace wig, from daily maintenance to professional services.
Why Proper Wig Care Matters
Human hair wigs, especially those with delicate lace tops, are crafted with incredible skill and artistry. But they’re also more fragile than they appear.
Without a good wig care routine:
-
The lace base can tear or stretch out of shape.
-
Hair strands may shed excessively or become dry and brittle.
-
Product build-up and dirt can compromise both hygiene and appearance.
-
The wig’s lifespan can be shortened significantly.
Think of your lace top human hair wig like luxury hair extensions or your own natural hair — it needs gentle care and the right products to stay looking fabulous.
Daily Wig Care Routine
Taking just a few minutes each day helps keep your lace top wig looking gorgeous.
Store It Properly
When not wearing your wig:
-
Position it on a wig stand or mannequin head to preserve its form.
-
Store it away from direct sunlight, dust, and moisture.
-
If travelling, store it in a breathable silk or satin bag.
Detangle Gently
-
Gently use a wide-tooth comb or a brush made for human hair wigs.
-
Begin at the tips and gradually move up to the roots.
-
Hold the lace area firmly but gently to avoid tugging.
Avoid Excess Handling
The lace front and top are delicate. Try not to:
-
Pull on the lace when adjusting the wig.
-
Scratch the lace area if your scalp feels itchy.
-
Overstyle the hairline frequently.
A few thoughtful habits will go a long way in protecting your investment.
Washing Your Lace Top Wig
Cleaning a lace top wig isn’t difficult, but it does require patience and care.
How Often Should You Wash?
Generally:
-
Every 10–15 wears if you use minimal product.
-
More often, if exposed to sweat, smoke, or heavy styling products.
Overwashing can strip the natural moisture from human hair, so only wash as needed.
Wig-Friendly Products
Always choose sulfate-free, gentle products. EsmeWigs offers premium wig care products perfect for human hair wigs. Look for:
-
Moisturizing shampoos
-
Lightweight conditioners
-
Detangling sprays
Step-by-Step Wash Routine
-
Detangle your dry wig gently.
-
Fill a sink with cool to lukewarm water and add wig shampoo.
-
Immerse the wig, swirling gently without rubbing.
-
Rinse thoroughly in cool water.
-
Apply conditioner from mid-lengths to ends. Avoid lace knots.
-
Rinse again.
-
Blot gently with a microfiber towel. Never wring or twist.
This gentle routine helps maintain the integrity of your lace top human hair wig.
Drying and Styling Tips
Air Drying vs. Blow Drying
-
Air drying is safest and prevents heat damage.
-
When blow drying, opt for a low heat setting and apply a heat protectant spray beforehand.
Handle the Lace With Care
-
Avoid pulling or stretching the lace while styling.
-
When curling or straightening, keep heat tools at a moderate temperature.
-
Style gently to reduce shedding and prolong lifespan.
To maintain your wig's quality, minimise heat styling.
What to Avoid When Caring for Your Wig
Avoid these common pitfalls:
-
Using regular shampoos full of sulfates or harsh chemicals.
-
Sleeping in your wig can cause friction and hair breakage.
-
Brushing the wig when wet leads to shedding and stretching.
-
Overwashing can dry out the hair.
-
Excessive heat styling without protection.
Treat your wig like delicate silk — gentle care is key!
