However, some wig users lack of wig care knowledge, which leads to human hair wig’s dryness, tangling and shedding, which affects the use and longevity of the human hair wig. Fortunately, the following are very effective measures we have summarized to prevent the above problems from occurring frequently.
Prevent Hair Wig: Dryness and Tangling
100% Human hair is smooth and soft because it contains nutrition in body, or once nutrition is lost, dryness and tangling will appear. In order to prevent dryness and tangling of 100% human hair wigs, we need to pay attention to the following aspects: washing, drying, styling, storage methods and so on

Prevent Hair Wig: Shedding
After our research and statistics, we finally summarized several common reasons for excessive shedding of wigs, such as improper operation when wearing wigs, no hair wigs protective measures when sleeping at night, incorrect care products and care methods when cleaning wigs, and improper drying method, improper storage methods and so on. Since the cleaning, drying methods of wigs and so on have been introduced above, so below we focus on how to wear human hair wigs and protect human hair wig at night.
Proper way to wear wigs
Hold the cap not the lace part to adjust the human hair wig because all lace parts are hand-tie which is fragile. If you grab the lace to adjust the wig, the hair may not resist the force, causing some hair to shedding and potentially tearing the lace. It is very important to read the instructions carefully before wearing it.
Measures to protect wigs when sleeping
The best way to prevent hair loss during sleep is to take off your wig, but due to some special reasons, we have to wear a wig to sleep in some cases. Don't worry, there are some good ways, too.
First, choose a silk cover and pillowcases. Smooth silk can effectively reduce friction between hair and pillows and quilts. The rough surface of blankets or old coarse cloths will increase the friction with the wig, so four-piece sets of these materials should be avoided as much as possible.
Then, braid gently your wig into one or two strands that the braid should be loose if it’s long or lay the hair flat against your head and pin or tie it into place. Scientific research shows that adults on average turn over 3 to 4 times at night. If we do not take human hair wig protection measures, our wigs will most likely be torn at night.
Last, put on a silk scarf or bonnet. This can avoid friction and pulling between the hair and the pillow.
