Intro

A 60 inch wig is about 5 feet/152 centimeters in length, typically reaching to the ankle of women with averaged height. The extra 60 inch length itself make it a statement piece that commands attention, no mention the endless dramatic style potentials it can achieve. It allows cosplay enthusiasts, performers, or anyone with avant-garde fashion taste to try a bold hairstyle. But at the same time, extreme length wig needs more maintenance, whether it's a 60 inch human hair wig or synthetic one. Follow this guide to keep your long hair wig flawless.

Detailed Detangle Process

You can brush your 60 inch wig regularly before and after you install. Don't comb it when it's wet because when it's tangled or it may suffer from a heavier pressure and more hair wig would be dragged off. Remember to wash your 60 inch wig in one direction; start from the end and keep brushing upward until all the hair is detangled.

Master Gentle Washing Techniques

Frequency : Longer wigs tend to trap dirt more easily than short hair wigs, which means you need to clean them regularly. Wash your 60 inch wig after 6-8 use.

Soak: dip your wig into cool soapy water instead of hot water to make it wet. Then gently apply moistured shampoo to the wig and comb with your hand. A comb is not recommended as it may cause pulling damage.

Rinse: wash out the shampoo under running water, start at the roots to the ends. Don't twist or scrub. Rinse 2-3 times until it's clean.

Condition: Apply moistured conditioner to your 60 inch wig by hand like soaking step. And put it into a plastic bag, let the hair absorb the essence and wait about 30 minutes. Avoid the cap to prevent loosening the lace.

Dry Work: After washing out the extra conditioner, squeeze out the residual water softly with your hand, lay it in a towel and then let it air dry on a mannequin head.

Control Heat Tool Temperatures

No matter if you own a sythetic fiber wig or human hair buss down wig, don't make it too hot when using heat tools otherwise the fibers or cuticles would be damaged, leading to split ends. Temperature under 400 Fahrenheit is acceptable.

Store Properly to Prevent Tangles

As we mentioned above, hang your 60 inch wig on wig stand or mannequin head when you don't use it. Use a dust cover or scarf to isolate it from the outside world. Avoid direct sun exposure. You'd better braid it loosely and fix it with a clasp when you need to take it out for trip.

Rotate Wigs to Avoid Everyday Wear

If you wear the same 60-inch wig daily, it won't last long as it's promised because the weight will strain the wig cap and it will get tangled easily for dryness and friction.
