Taking proper care of your lace front wig does help to maintain its quality and prevent the wig from looking worn out and untidy.Here are some tips on how to clean and care for your 13x4 lace front wig.
Step 1: Detangle the Wig
Before washing your lace front wig, it’s important to detangle it to avoid further tangling and damage. Use a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush to gently comb through the hair from the bottom to the top. Make sure you’re holding the wig from the front hairline while doing this to avoid pulling on the lace.
Step 2: Pre-wash
Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and add a mild shampoo to create a soapy solution. Gently place the lace front wig into the bowl and ensure that the hair is fully submerged. Swirl the wig around in the solution, but avoid rubbing or agitating the hair. Leave the wig to soak for a few minutes before rinsing it with lukewarm water.
Step 3: Shampoo
Apply a small amount of shampoo onto the hair and lather it up with your fingers. Be sure to avoid the lace area so as not to damage it. Rinse the shampoo out with lukewarm water and repeat the process until the hair is clean.
Step 4: Condition
Apply a generous amount of conditioner to the hair and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. Rinse out the conditioner with lukewarm water.
Step 5: Towel Dry and Styling
Gently blot the wig with a towel to remove any excess water, being careful not to scrub or tug at the hair. Allow the wig to air dry on a wig stand or mannequin head. Once it’s dry, you can use a heat styling tool on a low temperature to style the hair as desired.
Proper care and maintenance will increase the lifespan of your 13x4 lace front wig, keeping it looking beautiful and natural.
