New To Wigs? HOW TO WASH A WIG / HOW TO CONDITION A WIG / HOW TO CARE FOR synthetic WIGS

[@pseto3883]

I know there are many videos out there about washing wigs but so far only Jill reminds me of those little things and pointers which are so helpful 🥰 Thanks a million Jill!!!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

So happy you found this helpful! Makes my day!!❤️

[@tracys694]

Jill, I’ve come back to this video so many times over the past two years. It’s one of the best wig washing tutorials out there!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

This is wonderful to read! I am so happy you find this helpful! 😄❤️

[@arleneyoung6451]

I’ve watched soooo many videos on the various methods of synthetic wig care, and I have to say that this is so very comprehensive ! If only I had watched this before washing so many of my wigs! I see now why my wigs seem so unnatural looking now. Thank you from the bottom of my pocket book, and my heart!

[@ibrahimblake1219]

you all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@ailecfg]

Cam I used regular shampoo and laundry conditioner for my synthetic wig . New viewers from Scotland.

[@robertagilbert12345]

@ailecfg. You've probably already gotten your answer by now but I've used regular shampoo 🧴 and lots of different types of conditioner on mine. I find soaking the wig in laundry detergent sometimes irritates my skin so I use regular conditioner on mine. I also use a leave in conditioner on mine and it works really well. Wishing you a very blessed weekend dear. 🙏💖🙏

[@Linda-lf1ip]

you are so wonderful, showing us all these things and I'm thankful, being a "newbie" at all this. Thank you Jill

[@HistoryLover-y7i]

THANK YOU, JILL !!! I was wondering when to wash a couple of my wigs, because two wigs looked as if they either greasy or dirty. Though, I had only worn them avcouple of times each, I don’t know why, but they looked as if they were dirty. Anyway, thank you SO much for ALL your hard work, teaching us how to care for our wigs.

[@cherylinumphries8488]

I have the Jon Renau detangler and your right it is very gomy so what I did was I put half of it in another container and did half filtered water and half detangler and it works perfect, no gomy feel!

[@liliarivera1883]

That is the cutest wig, you automatically look 10 yrs younger when you put it on, and it looks new, thank you for posting this video, I learned a lot from it.

Your video was very helpful. I love the Belle Madam products even though it’s expensive to ship from England. I bought the 1 liter bottle of each. The cost of shipping via DHL was as much as the products. Keep doing your excellent videos.

[@ronnanp]

Jill, I think I’ve seen every one of your very helpful, very entertaining videos, and I especially like this one because of the VERY precious little puppy that photobombed you in the kitchen! 😁

[@maryshellsmith6627]

I LOVE 💕 the wig you’re wearing in this video! Where could I get it? I just started wearing wigs about a month ago, because I have trichotillomania, and pulled the hair off the top of my head. 😳I had to get a wig IMMEDIATELY, and the only place that was open was a super high end hair salon that also sells wigs. The owner came in on his day off to help me. The wig cost $722!! 😳I don’t even like it that much, especially for that price. I then went to another place the following week, a wig boutique that’s been in business for over 30 years. The wig I bought there was half the price of the one I got at the upscale salon, but I think it looks like a wig. The first one does not. No one knew I was wearing a wig. Anyway, I’m just now starting to learn more about wigs. Thank you so much for your videos. The upscale salon doesn’t want me washing the wig- I have to take it back to the salon every four weeks, and they wash it and dry it for me in their wig washing machine and wig dryer, for free, for the life of the wig. I still have the one I need to wash myself, and I’ll be buying more online. Online seems to be much more reasonably priced than going to wig shops. Is that generally true? Is it better to buy a wig online, or in person? I had no idea there was so much to learn about wigs! After the initial anxiety, hating it, and then getting used to it, I really don’t mind wearing wigs, and I am actually starting to really love wigs. I had no idea wigs could be so real looking. I’m so excited to get more! I have sooooo much to learn, though-- like EVERYTHING about wigs! 😳

[@mjerk]

Hi I've bought 3 very expensive wigs from a company that is in China. They are horrible & they don't pay attention to what I'm ordering. Plus it took 4 weeks to get them. I've bought a lot online & I feel they are better than those I paid hundreds of dollars on.

[@svincent9514]

Thank you for this video Jill, it has really helped me 👍🏼

[@brunnyayala9547]

I'm new to wigs,,, due to age I've lost a lot of my hair, specially in the front...I'm folloiwing and trust you,,,just ordered the JR Ignite lace front hoping that it works for me. You are such a beautiful woman, may God bless you always.

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Aww...this is very sweet and kind. Thank you, Brunny! VERY exciting to be getting your first wig. (maybe it's not your first?) Don't get disheartened if you feel wiggy because everyone feels that way in the beginning, and I guarantee it will happen...put a headband in her if that happens with your Ignite until you get use to it! IT took me a long while to get use to Ignite, but it then became my favorite 'go to' wig!

[@jenguerro7880]

Thanks for this video, i have been wearing wigs for a good while now but see conflicting info about washing and want to be sure im washing my wigs correctly to avoid damaging them. I see you soaking them and i do that to but are handtied wigs the ones that you should not soak? just pour the shampoo mixed with water only? thank you. I think i may have goofed with a couple of my wigs.

[@jenniferphillips3561]

Thanks for this video, Jill. Do you rinse out the balsam or leave it in?

[@cherylinumphries8488]

Thankyou Jill I learned alot

[@sheilaquattrocchi9274]

Hi Jill! Thank you so much for all the work and details you put into your videos. I am new to the wig scene, not for myself, but for my almost-94-year-old mother. Her hair is SO thin due to waaaaaay too many perms and colorings throughout her life. She recently moved into an assisted living facility and I have bought a Paula Young (Ivy) wig in hopes she may like it. I would be hugely grateful if you would point me to your video (?) about using Woolite and fabric softener for washing synthetic wigs - only because until I know if she is going to like it and wear it, I really do not want to spend the money on the Belle Madame products until I know. If you do not have a video but could tell me how much Woolite to water ratio and the same for fabric softener (and brand) to use, I would sincerely appreciate your help. Also, if you know of a suitable hairspray that I could buy hopefully at a regular store, that I could use once or twice on it to style it a bit from the get-go, I would appreciate your recommendation on that as well. Again, thank you for your honesty in your videos. I look forward to watching more of them. Happy and safe holidays! 😊

[@bvdragonlady]

Thank you for this, I’m very new to wigs and have not had to wash one, yet, but I know I will, soon! Merry Christmas!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

So glad you found this helpful...Merry Christmas!

[@niajeannine]

ok your wigs are pretty..I also let my wigs soak for a bit..to coat the fibers...now im trying to solve the "scratchy" effects and make it soft...but a steam iron is my number one tool

[@Clara-wo1hg]

Good video Jill and very helpful the wig looks lovely. Think we saw little Buddy in the background I would love to see what he looks like now and his personality 😍

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Hi there, Clara! Yes, you did see Buddy! haha! I'll have to definitely do that! He is still a little guy, and he'll be getting a haircut tomorrow...so an update may happen soon. Thanks for asking about him! He is a sweetie.

[@Stardust_4300]

I've got a wig from my sister that's in terrible condition that I want to try to get at least some kind of wearibility out of. It's a gorgeous long wavy wig, lace front that she washed & probably like she would her horse. It's awful so could you tell me how much woolite & fabric softener to use so I can try that first. I'm ordering the belle madame from the beauty nook in Dallas Texas for my Raquel Welch wigs etc. I want to make the most of them as I'm on a really low income. I've been given a couple of wigs & I wouldn't take nothing for them. I love them so much. They're all used bit look pretty good to me. Thanks so much!! 💞 I love your videos. I've learned so much. 💘

[@toocool2306]

12:42pm. Washing my wig for the first time. Where do you buy the shampoo and conditioner that you like so much. Your video Taught me a lot. Thank you.

[@themerz6982]

Appreciate the post. I have been using Jon Renau & my wigs feel terrible when I use the detangler & set. Been venturing out to see if I can save them. Been debating the woolite. Perhaps I will try these.

[@netamorton6187]

Wow, that wig looks so nice after it was dry. Thank you Jill for the tutorial! And Merry Christmas to you and your family and the animals!❤️

[@ravefree1]

Is the Belle Madame Balsam Conditioner better than Downey???

[@qltygrl3187]

Do you use cold or warm water? Also, can you wash more than one wig at a time?

[@ilgattopardoeladonna]

If you were using Woolite and Downy it would be the same measurements of the products? Could I use Dawny Rinse and Refresh to get rid of smells?

[@Kimberlite66]

i really like your eye makeup at the end. very pretty! can you tell me what colours and product you used please? ?

[@sheilacarter4741]

Seems like using baby shampoo would work great when washing your wigs. What do you think or what does anyone think? Seems a lot less expensive

[@robertagilbert12345]

@sheilacarter4741. Baby shampoo 🧴 is actually good to wash your wigs in. Just don't forget to also soak your wig/wigs in conditioner, especially on the ends. I use a regular leave in conditioner on mine sometimes but that's just me. Hopefully this helps you some. I hope you have a very blessed weekend dear. 🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏

[@cheriestrudwick6567]

Thank you for this video. It's very helpful. What is the wig you are wearing - I love it!

[@tracymc6007]

Hello Jill, wondering when do you part the wig after washing it…not supposed to brush when wet right? Thank you for your time

[@robertagilbert12345]

@tracymc6007. Don't part your wig until it's completely dry and start at the bottom to brush and then work on the upper part. Hopefully this helps you. Wishing you a very blessed weekend dear. 🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏

[@misskelly4405]

Thank you for the demo, Jill. Very informative. Do you think that dry ends can be trimmed off by a hairdresser to extend the life of the wig?

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Yes, you can! You can also add some heat/re-curl or steam a little to revive the ends a bit if you want to put off trimming a little longer. That is probably what I will do with Kona.

[@mjerk]

I'm also curious about being able to trim the ends myself.

[@robertagilbert12345]

@@mjerk You can trim it yourself. If it's a curly wig I find it easier than a straight one. The ones with bangs seem harder for me to get it straight. Wishing you a very blessed weekend dear. 🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏

[@roseeckstein6534]

Where can I find Belle Madam products please? If they don’t still make them do you have recommendations for a different product? Need conditioner and hair spray for synthetic wigs….help please!

I just ordered some of this wig racks so that when I wash a blonde wig I purchased I can dry it there tfs

[@sheilacarter4741]

I think the wig looks good uncombed LOL. Sounds funny but it looks great to me!

[@mjerk]

I've been using "MANE & TAIL" Spray on Detangler. I've only done this twice on my wigs to Detangle them before washing. Is this Detangler safe to use? Can I use my shampoo & conditioner? It's what I used when my hair was long. Do you keep the conditioner in the wig or do you rinse it out also? I'm brand new to wigs. I was in hospital & they had to shave the back of my hair. I have to admit it's hard for me to keep my wigs on in the back. It rides up to the top of my head & falls off. I bought some headband wigs & am having same problem. The combs just won't stay put. I know your video is about washing wigs. I just thought you might have some ideas of how I can keep them on securely. I do have some lace wigs but I'm not having much luck with those either. I haven't gone out in public in a long time. I'm afraid they will fall off again. Do you have any thoughts on what I can do to secure them? Thank you I have seen so many videos on washing & conditioning. I get really confused on how to wash & condition my wigs. I don't know if you can directly DM me. I can give you my email if that would help. I'm kind of desperate.

[@robertagilbert12345]

@mjerk. You can use your regular shampoo 🧴 and conditioner on your wigs. I've done this many times but just remember to rinse 🚿 the conditioner out of your wig. You can also use whatever type of leave in conditioner you use and be sure to use plenty on the ends. I'm sorry about what you've been going through. It's hard getting used to finding ways to keep your wig in place. I had the same problems with trying to figure out how to keep mine in place too. I'm still learning about that myself. You can try spraying your hair/head with hairspray or using some wig glue to keep your wig from falling off. I've actually tried this and it works pretty well. If you do go out just make sure to take the glue with you in case you start feeling like it's starting to fall off. I hope this helps you out and I also wish you lots of luck 🍀 dear. Wishing you a very blessed weekend. Keeping you in my prayers. 🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏

I talk about that in this video. I have had no issues using woolite and fabric softener... which again... I talk about. 😉

I've also been using downy to condition my wigs. I'm curious if it's good or bad. I've noticed that none of these comments have been replied from you.

[@have_faith_]

Jill Lynn, about how long did it take for your wig to dry- the next day or sooner? Thanks 💛

[@robertagilbert12345]

@have_faith_. I think it usually takes about 24 hours of air drying. When I washed mine it took around 24-26 hours. You can also use your hair dryer on cool to finish drying your wig. Just don't use heat on it. I hope this helps you some. Wishing you a very blessed weekend dear. 🙏💖🙏💖🙏

Heat works for the ends of wigs/toppers. Steam for non heat friendly, HD wigs/toppers. Silicone spray (use very sparingly) for ends. (Simply Stylin' Light Silk Spray).

I have santa wig and bread how do I clean them

[@chebrneck]

can a curl styled wig be rejuvenated so it looks styled like it did originally or does it just get cleaned and you restyle it yourself? Maybe you can do a video about that.

[@mjerk]

I bought expensive wigs that were curly & beautiful. Just what I wanted. I shook it & combed it with a big tooth comb. The curls immediately fell out & now looks like a cheap ugly wig. Is there anyway those natural curls can be revived without using curling iron or rollers?

[@emerantiaantoniaparnall-gi4213]

Living where I do in a remote rural property, if I allowed my water tap to run for that long wasting litres and litres of water I would feel so guilty. I have found filling the sink several times will also clean the soap off that wig. Water is the most precious commodity of life. Without water to our avail, we would simply perish. My rain tank is filled from a well, plus whatever the rain brings. Just saying how well I have learned to preserve this commodity because I have experienced being without. So many humans in some underdeveloped countries would have walked many miles just to fill their barrels with just a fraction of what you let run down the plug hole. lol. But love your manner and show, and all the wonderful information you are departing in your videos, so please take no offense lol.

[@lynnapplefield553]

Jill I watched your video but did not see whether you added both products at the same time as all I saw was tons of rinsing, not adding the shampoo or conditioner.

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

You will be fine if you just follow the directions on the back of the bottles. You do not add them at the same time. Fill up your sink with cold water add the suggested amount of shampoo to the water (before adding the wig) and swish around. Then drudge the wig back and forth in the water w/ the shampoo back and forth to loosen the debris and what not. Make sure to gently swirl shampoo water around the perimeter of the wig and the lacing to remove any makeup. RINSE RINSE RINSE under cold water...drain the sink, make sure all shampoo is gone before filling it up again. Once filled add the amount it says of the conditioning balm swirl around and add your wig. Follow directions on how long it says to leave your wig in it. DO NOT rinse the conditioner out though. Follow my video demo on how best to remove the water from the wig. DO NOT ever comb or brush synthetic fibers when wet. Let dry completely on a stand that allows air to flow through. Once completely dried, you can gently use a wide-tooth pick or comb to comb through starting at the ends and move up to the base. You will want to treat with a detangling spray and comb through from ends up BEFORE you start this whole process of washing. ;) Hope that helps clarify.

[@sandraperkins2353]

This was such an informative video...thank you so much! I have longer wigs, do I still use the drying stand or do I hang in upside down to dry? Also, can you recommend a hair spray to use on synthetic wigs? I appreciate all of your help. Wishing you a very Happy New Year 🎊

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

Hi Pam! No...have never done that. ;) It is a gentle process....just dragging the wig back and forth in the soapy water, allowing the fibers to drag along in the water. IF it were inside out the fibers would be tucked into the cap and wouldn't get as clean and possibly even tangled.

I've been told that also. To turn the wigs inside out. I have to say there are so many videos out there that are so controversial.
