NEW TO WIGS? / I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS ABOUT WASHING WIGS / WIG TIPS & ADVICE

[@melissalee2166]

I bought a cheap wig on clearance- I call it my "tester wig".I test different shampoos and styling products on it .That way I dont have to worry about ruining my everyday wigs.

[@Stardust_4300]

What a great idea!! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@essanjay8604]

Heavens. At the start you think its just a case of buying a wig and putting it on your head every morning. Then you do a bit more research and it turns out you need a degree in Wigology!

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

[@Ms7of8]

I've been wearing wigs and helper hair for about twenty years. On all my synthetic wigs and hairpieces, I use Woolite as the shampoo, then the unscented Downy fabric softener as the conditioner. I do so in cool to cold water. It only takes a little bit of Woolite and a very little bit of the fabric softener. I've been doing this method for twenty years. My wigs have always come out looking and feeling great. I always wash my new wigs before I even wear them (other than the initial try on). I have zero experience with wig shampoo/conditioner, as I have never used either/or.

[@jzedalis]

Glamfam is the cosmetology teacher. His wife wears tons of wigs so he's always showing how to make them look new again and he does an amazing job with just simple stuff

[@denisehall6531]

Jill, I started wearing wigs about a year ago and have not missed one of your videos... you have been a wealth of information for me (wigs and makeup). I have exclusively dealt with Wigs By Patti Pearls and have more wigs than (1) 60 year old needs. I experimented with a few of the top brands and have settled on 1 heat friendly style by Rachel Welch ... "Straight up with a Twist" I work in a small office/business and work with the public so I really needed my hair to look about the same from week to week LOL... I rotate 3 wigs and wash them every other weekend - (plus I bought a back up I'll call it my Corona Wig) .... I have always used Woolite and a very small amount of fabric softener...... but I soak/wash them in my bathtub - so I use a good bit of water. I also have come some across a product that I use when the fibers start to look dry.... and it is a product by Garnier - it is SLEEK & SHINE ANTI FRIZZ SERUM - I use it as a treatment - pour it into my hand ( a good bit and gently work it into the wet wig (after washing) and leave it wrapped up in a towel (for about a half an hour) then rinse SUPER GOOD and it almost takes it back to new.... a little shiney - pretty much just like they are when you take them out of the box......it must have some silicone-like properties but if you have a wig that needs some serious TLC you should try it. I always hang min upside down (by the tag in the nape) to dry - seems like when I go to wear them in the AM they dry fuller with a little bounce because of the way they dried.... Thanks for the wonderful information and BTW you look KETO-FABULOUS... Denise H. in OHIO

[@misslady1629]

I tried your method of the woolite for delicates and downy free on an old wig that was worn only once but was very dusty- it had been sitting on a shelf for over a decade. It looks wonderful and brand new. So glad I had found that video. I’ve learned so much from your videos. Thank you for doing these!

[@judyanne3563]

Will this work on heat defiant wigs, too???

[@cian4468]

I've found that washing wigs often with wig shampoo & wig conditioner ages them much faster, perhaps a way to sell more wigs. Now I wash my own hair every morning before putting on my wig (I cut my own hair myself - about 1" all over). I am interested in products to revitalize the synthetic fibers - Downey fabric softener makes more sense to me but I'll be looking for a more natural version without all the chemicals. Thanks for this helpful video! 💟

[@EastsideImelda74]

Love your videos Jill. I have been using Tress Allure’s shampoo & conditioner that I received as a bonus in a wig purchase about a year ago. I only use about a tsp of shampoo & conditioner in my regimen. I really like the results that I get. I, too, hold off shampooing & conditioning for as long as possible. I figure that since these are synthetic fibers, like in clothing, each washing will break down the fiber(s). I’ve been wearing wigs for about 2-1/2 yrs now, but, I haven’t tossed a single one yet. However, I have donated some of my wigs (after a wash & condition) that I have only worn for reviews, to one of the hospital cancer centers where I live. They are truly thankful. Thank you for your sharing your wig experiences with us!

[@carolperdue7534]

Omg, i used baby clothes detergent and Snuggle, lol! It came out perfectly and felt like new. I like your tip about not washing it too often though. I clip my wigs to a pants clothes hanger at night. I cilip it by the tag so that the inside airs out. And i rotate them. Tfs! 💜

[@catheyrestaino5110]

I agree with you, washing only shortens the life of any wig. Thanks for the video

[@m.malouf6830]

Thanks for all your videos. They have been very helpful as I am a new wig wearer (hair loss). In a previous video you said put it on and leave it on - I did and it really helped to just wear it around the house. And, you were right, we gradually get used to seeing ourselves with less hair, so the wig seems overwhelming. I just bought two more wigs so I can rotate them. Your advice is priceless - thanks again.

[@shelleyross2886]

I am new to wigs (due to hair loss) and I have spent more on 4 wigs in the last month than I have spent on my natural hair in 10 years...dear Lord. If I ruin these trying to take care of them...everyone is just going to have to deal with seeing my lumpy , bumpy bald noggin and get over it !!!

[@reesepeacock]

It could be your water. Where I live we have hard water. It congeals on the spout and in the shower, it is terrible. I am awaiting the delivery of my first wig! Now I know I will probably used distilled water when I need to wash it (which I will wait the longest possible time thanks to this video).

[@monaattianese662]

Hi sweetheart...FEBREEZE used within the wig ( on the cap) really refreshes any lack of fresh scent..if works well. Just a little something I do..Gods blessings on you🙏😊

[@kathleenbeauchemin8146]

Omg I love the Belle Madame shampoo and Balsam...I first purchased them from Continental Wigs and it was a bit pricey with the exchange rate and shipping. However I can now purchase them for the Beauty Nook and they are based in the US. I’m thrilled. Sometimes I just soak my wigs in the Balsam to freshen them a bit. It works wonderful.

I wash my wigs faithfully following Patti's instruction after wearing them about 10 times, or, if I sweat through my head enough to get the cap wet. I always use wig shampoo and cold water. My good name brand wigs have held up long after they should have pooped out. I only use wig hair spray when I use it. Hail Patti! I wear a wig every day and am now 3.5 years in. My friend wears only Paula Young and never washes them. She trashes them when they wear or are too dirty.

I started using Brandywine non-static shampoo and the revitalizing conditioner for my synthetic hair topper. First washing went great, super simple steps, pleasant scent. I was told every two-three weeks if you wear on the daily.

[@JL-ge5pt]

Thank you so much, Jill. I just started using products by Wig Lift and already I'm hooked; her products are entirely unscented which is really important for me. Also, she has a great video on how to wash, condition and care for a synthetic wig. I'm frankly surprised I don't hear more about her products and I encourage all to check out Wig Lift. And no, I'm not on their payroll! I do, however, get mind-bending headaches and nausea from synthetic fragrance chemicals - especially on my head - and know others have the same problem. So when I find good unscented products, I share it with the world.

[@JillLynnBeautyTherapy]

I will check those out! I have never heard of the brand, and am excited to look into them!

[@sherrybenko3100]

Jill I agree with you...wash only if you must. It's so disappointing the short life span on these pieces. They feel great for the first week like s million bucks...then quickly they get thick and stiff and gross. It's very disheartening and frustrating when you're spending so much trying to find a wig style that you like and will last longer than a month.

[@dawndennison4172]

I have 3 wigs which have lasted for two years and I even wear them on motorcycle trips. I always clip my hair up and cover with a silk scarf. If I'm driving in my car I use a silk scarf around my shoulders. They last longer if they don't have the friction against your clothes. Hope this helps. Blessings from South Africa

[@judyanne3563]

Yes... Wigs are too expensive to have them only last 6 months or so

[@cian4468]

I agree too Sherry! It seems like my wigs last about 1 week before losing their liveliness. Sounds like an opportunity for wig makers to develop wig fibers that are beautiful AND last, rather than what seems like planned obsolescence. Besides, it's much better for our planet.

[@mt.shasta6097]

@@cian4468 Planned obsolescence is exactly what today's wigs are about. In the 1970s, I had 4 synthetic wigs that took me to work and play for 12 years. They were remarkable. Am back to wigs, and they're so pathetic. Thin, fragile, and wimpy. It's criminal.

[@carolirvine7663]

I always use fabric softener to freshen my wigs and it works great - I do use Woolite but not that often the softener seems to do the trick when the wig starts to look tired - The less you do the better

I use Herbal Essence Tea-Lightfully Clean shampoo on my wigs. It smells wonderful and clean. I use either Revlon or Jon Renau conditioner about a tablespoon in a small basin of water to rinse. Have used on many different brands of wigs and they have all turned out beautifully. I get the shampoo from Amazon. The conditioners I find on eBay occasionally so I snap those up when they come available. I only wash once a month using Febreeze inside the cap very lightly to keep it smelling fresh.

I agree with not washing until absolutely necessary. Also, I use a teensy amount of wig shampoo and barely dip the wig in the water a few times before rinsing out the shampoo.

[@ardiffley-zipkin9539]

Great video. Can you talk more about using a bit of dry shampoo in the wig to freshen up the lace in the cap? I have a Jon Renau Ignite Wig that I have worn about Ten times over a year while dining with family. I always wore it on a clean scalp and now my own regrowing hair. I think using a dab of dry shampoo inside the cap to freshen it will do. I never use perfume or synthetic product on it. No smells or issues.

Has anyone used Nexus Pure and Clean Shampoo and the Nexus Pure and Clean Conditioner?

I hope I can look half as good as all you lovely ladies! I want to look natural and have anxiety about this 😕

[@missourigal]

If you have to keep putting your fingers in your wig while wearing that adds to when you have to wash, and environment you are in, and other factors. I go by how my wig is looking. So sometimes it is a month or longer or less. I think I'll get the formula for Downey and try that. I can't afford to have multiple wigs and spend lots of money on trying different wig products.

[@dlabit527]

Sometimes your water can cause problems also if it is too hard or too soft.

[@judyanne3563]

Some tutorials say to use distilled water to wash wigs

[@amitchell9820]

Would the chemicals our water is treated with to make it “safe to use” be part of the problem? Regular water from the faucet usually has or smells like chlorine. The water can also be hard, which has too much calcium, or lime. It seems like everything affects them and most of the time not for the better.

[@abbeyb.4596]

Good point about the water you use. We all have different water, treated with chemicals and chlorine. Maybe using distilled water would be good? So many variables with taking care of wigs!

[@ChrissyGrace2611]

I agree with the fabric softener situation. I I think it’s all about HD wigs. That does not work well on HD Wigs and will wait it down and will stretch out the fibers and will make it gunky. I ruined my editors pic by doing this, and that was one of my very first wigs. I will never do that again, wonder why their HD fibers don’t last and let me tell you… This is why because many women do this on a regular basis.

[@jzedalis]

Yes caring for a wig has been trial-and-error and it's only been the last six months that I've just started watching tons of videos. My first wig is from 4 years ago it's a Raquel Welch wig. I highly recommend the shampoo I got from the wig shop. It's by Henry margu. His refinishing spray is also the best and I have bought five different ones and his was the best. I can also recommend argan oil the one with the least amount of extra chemicals in it. There is a cosmetology teacher on KZbin and his sight is called get glammed or something similar to that. He has excellent videos on how to make your wig look new again

[@debistanley2791]

I'm learning tricks and solutions one video at a time. Taz on KZbin said heat friendly fibers can make hair appear worn out. The problem is they get stringy. Check her suggestions. I tell you what I'd like for all consumers is wig tags disclosing all the spects on the hairpiece Example Categories for tags: Fiber/hair type and the grade, Density, Cap Type, Monofilament top, Lace Front. Maybe you can think of more?.1st wash didn't get rid of the silicone. I was in a live chat and a lady said she washes her new synthetics 3 times and then uses dry shampoo. Ok, the new girl is going swimming again tomorrow.

Jill, I have always washed my wigs in Jon Renau's Shampoo and their Leave in Spray Conditioner. I love the fragrance and my wigs are always so nice and soft when they are dry. I, also hang mine upside down by the tag and it makes them fluffy and back to life. Have you tried Jon Renau's Silicone Spray? I bought some early on, but I think it's more for longer styles, as you only spray the ends of the fibers. I wear mostly pixies with JR's Bree being the longest wig I own and it is still short, but I love it! I usually wash my wigs mainly when I see makeup around the front that touches my face and I always leave my wig on an open wire wig stand after I first take it off, so it can air dry. I love your videos and I love doing business with Patti! You are so beautiful!! Thanks for all you do for us wig wearers!

Hi Jennifer, I’m a complete novice to wigs and toppers but ordered one a month ago. I have thinning hair and no matter what I do it never looks good. I bought a topper and wore it to work the last couple of weeks. I got so many compliments, and friends had no idea I wore a topper. I just got “your hair looks great!” I did confide in a few just to make sure they didn’t know and they were so surprised. It’s given me the confidence I need every day and I always have great looking hair! I live in the desert so wearing a wig for the next 4 months ain’t going to happen.

It’s not rocket science. Some of us wig wearers make too much fuss about how and when to wash a synthetic wig. If by the seventh day your wig smells funky, are you going to keep wearing it for the next five days because someone suggested it on KZbin. Common sense should tell you when it’s time to shampoo and condition. If you care anything about your synthetic wig and want it not only smell clean but looks great and last a bit longerč, use a synthetic wig shampoo and conditioner or Woollite and fabric softener just don’t have your water too hot.

Been wearing wigs for almost 40 years,NEVER washed any of my wigs or hair pieces unless,different if you have Cancer then you wash them regularly with the product supplied with the wig,they are so cheap you can get them online for £5/£300 depending on what you like.

I am wearing my wig about 3 months and i didnot wash it just smelling a little

Thank you

So confused, use softener and not and use cheap soap and use wig shampoo - boil it to revive it and god knows what. I purchased a previously owned wig ( to see the style really, colour is all wrong for me ) that some lady said was very little used.........yeah no, looked like a rats nest and I washed it 2 twice, 1st time it stayed stiff and funky and the 2nd time I thought, whatever Ill drown it in lukewarm water with fabric softener and it smells heavenly, it did not fall apart, the cap did not expand - and its more shiney and perhaps it wants a new home as its too red for me, but I loved the cap :) its RW and I forgot the style name as it was purchased in Norway from a store that sells to hospitals etc and thats different names...go figure. Anyway - i got another Belle Madame supposedly used once....and wow what a year-long party that must have been - the lace is ripped and the wig looks like it got an electric shock. So I was adviced to trim the lace and maybe cut in bangs and then I will wash it and drown it in softener, cause you cant use it as it is. the lace looks melted or burnt.. Maybe a steamer or blowbrush on low low heat would collect the ends, but its honestly look like real hair cause its so shitty condition. But I can FEEL its pretty soft fibers and everyone here is bragging about Belle Madame so I will give her a 2nd chance at life :) I am so happy you liked the shampoo and conditioner, I JUST bought mine along with 2 wigs, toppers, stands and combs and and and on a sale from Continental wigs and its WAY cheaper than buy hre in Norway - a BM wig here starts at about 6-700 USD and UP for synthetic- so I am excited fr the arrival next week

I drowned my used wig that I bought from eBay & the wig became sticky, clumpy & dry. I soaked it in apple cider vinegar & it did the trick! Now it's in much better condition. It could be a little softer but not sure what to do to make it softer

[@themerz6982]

Helpful, thank you. I have a Raquel Welch that feels terrible. I purchased good, proper wig shampoo & spray conditioner. Seems like it might be the conditioner? I'm going to rinse it & see what it does. I think I might be allergic to what ever comes on the wigs. Get an immediate rash where ever it touches. Is there some kind of spray that is for sensitive skin?

[@lindapullan6937]

Hi I think giving it a rinse is a good idea. Do you wear a wig cap under your wig? The ones made of bamboo are very soft and good if you havr a sensitive scalp. They are also very cool to wear.

[@themerz6982]

@@lindapullan6937 I have not. Will look into them, thank you. I have only tried w/ a wig grip.

[@lindapullan6937]

@@themerz6982 hi again. You can wear the wig cap with a wig grip. The caps made of bamboo that I've seen do not have any elastic so can slip so try wearing it on top of your wig grip. It will protect your scalp and hair and very cooling in hot weather. Some wig providers sell them or try Amazon. I hope it helps.

Just wanted to let you know that Patti's Pearls would not honor the 30% off sale that is in progress through 4/24 on Toni Brattin wigs. I left a detailed comment on your March 6 video, but wanted to share it on a more recent video with the hope you will see it.

What about human hair wig that dries out of poofs?

Fix a damaged wig?

I just use a very good shampoo

[@PineGeri]

How did you get your wigs to look less stiff and shiny?

[@judyanne3563]

Good question!

[@anniematthew2608]

I just watched a video by Patti Pearls that said -use 1 tablespoon of the wig shampoo with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Mix both together in water & put your wig in the water, leave wig in the mix for 30 minutes, see video for details. Then rinse, dry & she added spray in conditioner.

[@PineGeri]

@@anniematthew2608 thank you! I couldn’t remember where I’d seen or heard that before..am gonna try it!!

How about Pureology’s spray leave in conditioner for synthetics?

Too many times 'I don't know'. Show what you do know. Demo your recipe.

Search 'how I wash my wigs' on my homepage....a couple will pop up where I do just that. ;)

This could have been a much shorter video, too much chatter. Get to the point. The message could have been conveyed in 2 minutes.
