Now you make ask why do you need a wig stand? Well you need one so that when wash and style your wigs. Now lets get into how to wash/air dry your wigs as well as styling your wigs. Your going to place your wig on mannequin stand and detangle with brush for a easy breezy wash routine. Be sure to get out all the tangles on your wig to prevent it from matting together when washing. It’s simply your choice in shampoo. I typically use dollar tree VO5 herbal escapes shampoo and conditioner on my wigs. Plus VO5 only cost a dollar at the dollar store. More expensive shampoos and conditioner I use on my natural hair but my wigs I use the less expensive because it gets the job done of cleaning my wigs. You don’t want to buy shampoo that cost more than the wigs you buy unless you don’t mind spending the extra cash.

Next your going to want to use luke warm water when washing your wigs. Be sure to be gentle as you rub the shampoo through your wigs. Next rinse the wig and use conditioner. Don’t forget to condition the ends of your wig than rinse once again. Pat the wig dry on a towel and allow it to hair dry over night put placing it on your wig stand. Although most wigs are heat safe, use caution and try to avoid the use of blowing drying a wig to avoid possible damage.
