You will have to pay attention to the maintenance of your wig, then we are going to list 5 bad habits that you should never do to your wig.

1. Towel Drying Aggressively

Towel drying aggressively after you get out of the shower that's what we do. After you are done, your wig is an absolute mess. When you look at the towel or the ground there's a bunch of wigs, why? Because you broke your wig off. Your wig is thin and fragile. Not to mention when your wig is wet,  at its absolute most fragile state. It breaks off very easily. What you need to do is make sure that you are pet drying and then just let it air dry. Use a blow dryer if you want to.

2. Do Not Wash Brush 

What you should be doing is cleaning your brush often. Make sure that you clean it at least once a month, once every few weeks just to make sure that you're getting all of that gunk out. Because when you're brushing your wig, all of that dirt will stuck on your brush and it's going onto your wig. All of that crusty old product from months ago is going on to your wig, all of those germs, all of that broken hair which you're just putting right back onto your wig.

3. Use Low-Quality Drugstore Products

Using low-quality drugstore products not only is actually bad for your wig but your hairstyle is going to look okay. If you use high-quality products, all of a sudden it goes from great to amazing. It completely changes the way that your wig looks.

4. Using Hot Waters To Wash Wigs

Everything has two sides, so do hot waters. When you wake up and then you take a hot shower to relax. The bad thing about hot showers is that the hot water can actually dry out your skin as well as your scalp. If you have dandruff, if you have a dry itchy scalp already, this is bad for your scalp and bad for your wig as well. The best thing you can do is dial it down, bring that temperature down and then you can wash your wig with that colder water. We highly recommend you take cold showers once in a while, for your skin, for your wig, for your energy for your nervous system, and for all of those benefits. 

5. Do Not Use Heat Protectant

As we all know that, heat is not good for your wig. Blow drying too much can cause damage. Hot showers can cause damage. Even staying outside in the sun for too long is also not very good for your wig or your scalp and so on so forth. But there are ways to protect yourself from doing that. If you're blow-drying too much if you use a flat iron if you use a curler you’d better use a heat protectant. Heat protectant is an oil or some type of product that you apply to your wig before you use a blow dryer. The oil acts as a shield between your wig and the heat. It’s going to be super helpful for your wig.

Avoid these bad habits that destroy your wig, you can have better hair to create any hairstyles you want.
