Brush the bottom section before moving up, dealing with 1 to 1.5-inch sections at a time. By doing so, you decrease stress on any knots and reduce breakage. Only use your fingers, never a comb or brush, to separate curls.

Start by combing the wig to remove any knots. Fill the bowl with warm water and add a 50p size of shampoo to water, give it a swoosh. Place your wig in the water, leave for 5 mins to soak and let the shampoo do its thing. Use gentle squeezes but ever rub the hair in a scrubbing fashion as this will just damage the wig.

Human hair wigs need to be kept hydrated and nourished since they don't receive natural oils like our own hair. Apply leave-in conditioners or hair oils regularly and deep condition the wig when washing. Use a heat protectant and avoid sleeping in a wet wig to prevent frizz and tangling.
