Proper care is essential for maintaining the natural look and longevity of your human hair wigs with bangs. Whether you wear them daily or on special occasions, our guide will help you wash, condition, and maintain your wig to keep it soft, shiny, and in perfect shape.

Why Proper Wig Care Is Important

Taking good care of your wig is essential for ensuring it maintains its beauty and quality over time. Here are some key reasons why proper wig care is essential:

  • Make Human Hair Wigs Last Longer: Regular washing and maintenance can extend the lifespan of your human hair wigs, allowing you to enjoy them for months or even years.
  • Preserve Quality: Properly caring for your wig helps it retain its softness, shine, and natural texture, keeping it looking and feeling like real hair.
  • Prevent Damage: Using the right products and techniques can prevent dryness, split ends, and other damage, ensuring your wig stays in excellent condition.

How to Wash Your Human Hair Wig

Proper washing of your human hair wig is key to maintaining its beauty and longevity. Follow these five easy steps to clean your wig effectively without causing damage.

Step 1: Detangle the Wig


Gently detangle your wig using a wide-tooth comb or wig brush. Start from the ends and work up to the roots to avoid breakage, especially for curly or wavy wigs.

Step 2: Wet the Wig


Fill a basin with lukewarm water and submerge the wig to wet it evenly. Ensure the water isn't too hot to prevent heat damage and reduce the risk of tangling.

Step 3: Apply Shampoo


Apply a small amount of sulfate-free shampoo, working it through from roots to ends in a downward motion. Avoid scrubbing or twisting. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove all products.

Step 4: Condition the Wig


Apply conditioner, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes before rinsing with cool or lukewarm water. Avoid conditioning the cap to keep the knots intact.

Step 5: Dry the Wig


Squeeze out excess water gently—do not twist. Blot the wig with a microfiber towel and place it on a wig stand to air dry. Avoid heating tools until completely dry to prevent damage.

Daily and Weekly Care Tips

Proper care for your human hair wig extends beyond washing—it’s essential to maintain it daily and weekly to keep it looking its best. Here’s how:

Daily Care Tips

  1. Detangle Gently
    To keep your wig looking fresh, gently detangle it daily using a wide-tooth comb or wig brush, starting from the ends and working upwards. This helps prevent knots and minimizes damage.
  2. Moisturize
    Human hair wigs need moisture to stay soft and shiny. To keep the hair hydrated, apply a wig-safe moisturizing spray or leave-in conditioner daily. Avoid applying too much near the roots to prevent loosening the knots.
  3. Limit Heat Styling
    Try to avoid daily heat styling. If you must use heat tools, always use a heat protectant spray to minimize damage. Opt for styles that require minimal heat to preserve the wig’s quality.

Weekly Care Tips

  1. Deep Conditioning
    Once a week, apply a deep conditioning treatment to your wig. This helps replenish moisture and keep the hair soft and shiny. Leave the conditioner on for 5-10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
  2. Check for Tangles
    Perform a more thorough detangling session weekly. Use a detangling spray if needed, and gently work through any stubborn knots.
  3. Restyling as Needed
    Weekly restyling can help keep your wig looking fresh. If your wig starts losing shape or volume, use heat tools sparingly to restyle. Keep the heat setting low to protect the hair fibers.
  4. Scalp and Wig Cap Care
    Ensure your scalp and wig cap remain clean. Wipe the inside of the wig cap with a damp cloth to remove any sweat or buildup, keeping it fresh and comfortable to wear.

Products Recommended for Wig Care

Using the right products is key to keeping your human hair wig looking natural and soft. Here are some recommended wig care products, including Luvme Hair's Renewal series:

  1. Luvme Hair Renewal Shampoo
    This sulfate-free shampoo is specially formulated for human hair wigs, gently cleansing without stripping moisture.
  2. Luvme Hair Renewal Conditioner
    Follow up with the Renewal conditioner to deeply hydrate and restore the wig’s shine. Apply to mid-lengths and ends, leaving it for 3-5 minutes before rinsing.
  3. Luvme Hair Renewal Leave-In Conditioner
    The leave-in conditioner keeps the wig moisturized and manageable throughout the day. Use it after washing or whenever the wig feels dry.
  4. Heat Protectant Spray
    Use a heat protectant spray before styling to prevent heat damage.
  5. Argan Oil or Hair Serum
    Apply some argan oil or serum to add shine and reduce frizz.
  6. Wide-Tooth Comb or Wig Brush
    Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush to detangle gently without causing damage.

GeeDee said:

I just ordered my 1st grey (salt-n-pepper). I was hesitant because I was holding out for a more natural curly style.

Please consider curly styles in grey/salt-n-pepper! Thanks

I love your wigs but I have a small head and bald. Although the units I have ordered are medium cap (I have no other choice) they are too big. Would like to see more small cap wigs to choose from in the near future preferably short styles.

I got a referral from a coworker about the wigs she wore. She had tons of them and all were of a good quality. Now I have several and all are beautiful. Good to be able to order wigs for a big woman with a big head. Only order the large size and they fit perfectly. Thank you Luvmehair!!!

I have 20 Luvme wigs. They are so authentic. Just when I think I’ve got enough, I find myself unable to resist a new style.

Luvmehair wigs they’re beautiful the quality is very nice. I have alopecia I do sport my bald head in the summer but fall /winter I sport the beautifulwigs Please offer more short styles as I’m an older customer and I really enjoy the salt and pepper look I have one on the way now.

Marie J Jean-Blain said:

I am in my early 70 and I have been coloring my long natural hair for years with a rinse not a permanent color. Lately I am no longer satisfied with the result. I decided to purchase my first wig from your company in order to see if the auburn color will suit me better than the darkest brown. Looking forward to receiving it and praying I will be happy with my choice.

PATTY word said:

Love your wigs, husband said they look great on me. More short styles please as I get older longer hair makes me look more aged. Thank you.

Pat said:

I love those wigs. I have plenty of wigs but the only thing after wearing them they stretch and they’re too large for my head the black belt in the back please make better straps in the back so they don’t stretch, but I love the wig having a problem with the wig after wearing them they’re too big for my head.

Essie Ware said:

I love love your wigs. Since I have started wearing them I can’t get away from them. I have ordered over 20 wigs now. I would love to get a wet and wavy 99j wig in the future. I have the ombré wet and wavy wig but I want the whole wig to be 99j. Just ordered the loose curl wig in 99j. Also would love to be able to tighten black strap in the wig cap to fit my head. Some times my wig slides because I can’t hook the combs to my stocking cap because they are to far back. I don’t like using glue. It pulls your edges. Mine edges are very thin. Just throwing out some tips. Thanks luvme

Jewel said:

I would love to see a lot more of your wigs made available in small or even extra small sizes. Thank you

Mrs. Norwood said:

I love your crowns! I have alopecia & they look so real. They are not the typical “wig”. I love the adjustable bands. I’d love to be able to tighten them more. My head is shaved so they don’t feel as secure as I’d like. However, I will continue to be a loyal customer. You have changed the hair game & I am eternally grateful!

Ruth said:

Hi, just purchased my first wig, my friend love your wigs. I will give feedback once I try it

Stephanie Johnson said:

My hair has thinned out as I got into my late 60’s. Now I wear wigs. Your wigs are great. I have several. I prefer the short styles. I have several mixed colors as well as single colors. I love them all. Thank you a great affordable product.

Diane Oxendine said:

I loved the wig and the feel of it, however I’m returning it as it’s too full. The color choice although beautiful does not suit me. I would love more styles available in salt and pepper that are a great fit for a smaller face. I’d like to wear your wigs but not have everyone knowing I’m wearing a wig.

Deborah said:

I have purchased many units from this company
Satisfaction guaranteed 👌

Kim Moore-Sample said:

Good morning, I have purchased your wigs before and been very happy. I’m a salt and pepper lady, I would love to have a wet and wavy salt and pepper wig, but I never see any on your site.
