Have you invested in a high-quality Remy human hair wig (like those from Wedoo or HQCH), only to find it turning frizzy and tangled after just a few wears? Don’t worry! Today, we’ll share simple yet effective tips to help your wig maintain its youthful shine—or even look better over time!
🔍 First, Understand: Why Does Remy Hair Need Extra Care?
Remy human hair wigs are prized for their intact cuticles aligned in the same direction, making them smoother and more durable than regular synthetic wigs. However, since they’re no longer nourished by natural scalp oils, they require luxury-level TLC—just like your favorite designer handbag!
🧴 The 5-Step Daily Care Routine (Perfect for Beginners!)
1. Washing: Say No to Drugstore Shampoos!
✅ Do’s:
- Use a sulfate-free, pH-balanced shampoo (pH 4.5–5.5), such as Kérastase or L’Oréal Professionnel.
- Lukewarm water only (below 30°C/86°F)—hot water lifts cuticles, causing frizz!
- Be gentle! Soak the wig in water and lightly massage in the direction of the hair strands (no rubbing!).
❌ Don’ts:
- ✖ Avoid 2-in-1 shampoos (silicones can suffocate the hair!).
- ✖ Never wash upside down (misaligned cuticles = instant tangles).
2. Conditioning: Your Wig’s "Spa Day"
✅ Weekly deep treatment:
- Apply a repairing hair mask (e.g., Shiseido Fino or Olaplex No. 3), detangle with a wide-tooth comb, and wrap in a warm towel for 10 minutes.
- HQCH lab tests show this restores 90% of dryness and split ends!
3. Drying: Skip the Heat Drama
✅ Do’s:
- Gently blot excess water with a microfiber towel (no wringing!).
- Air-dry or use cool air (keep the blow dryer 20cm/8" away).
❌ Don’ts:
- ✖ High heat = "straw-like" hair.
- ✖ Never brush wet hair with a fine-tooth comb (cuticles are fragile!).
4. Storage: Don’t Toss It in a Drawer!
✅ Best practices:
- Store on a wig stand to maintain shape.
- For long-term storage, use a breathable fabric bag (Wedoo’s included dust bag works perfectly!).
❌ Don’ts:
- ✖ Avoid plastic bags (traps moisture = mildew risk!).
- ✖ Keep away from sunlight (UV rays accelerate aging!).
5. Styling: Yes to Coloring, But With Caution
✅ Do’s:
- Visit a professional stylist! Remy hair can be dyed/permed, but limit to twice yearly.
- HQCH tip: Always strand-test bleach first!
❌ Don’ts:
- ✖ Box dyes often contain harsh chemicals.
- ✖ Excessive flat-ironing causes irreversible protein damage.
💡 Pro Tips from Wedoo & HQCH Users
- "Lazy-day hack": Spritz leave-in conditioner (e.g., Moroccanoil) for instant shine.
- "Tangle rescue": Mix conditioner + water, spray on knots, and gently comb from ends up.
- "Longevity boost": Get a protein treatment every 3 months (adds 6+ months of wear!).
