It is usually the hair wrapped or tucked underneath a wig that will cause itching. An important step to keeping your wig from itching is to wrap your hair tightly and pin it down properly, paying special attention to the ends being pinned down.

Place the wig on a stand before you brush it to retain its shape. Then, brush it with a downward motion, beginning at the bottom of the wig. 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.

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.
