Lace wigs are highly priced for their realistic appearance, requiring careful handling to maximize their lifespan. The wig’s interior, known as the cap, fits snugly on the head and secures the hair in place.
Cleaning
The interior cap of a lace wig does not need any special cleaning procedures beyond regular wig washing. Follow the instructions provided on the wig conditioner and shampoo bottles for safe cleaning practices.
Washing the Wig
Washing the wig should only occur when necessary, not just because it looks dirty or has an odor. It’s crucial to wash the wig gently to prevent damage. Avoid rubbing the wig fibers directly; instead, lightly agitate the water to allow the shampoo to cleanse the hair thoroughly.
Repairing
During cleaning, if you notice tears or damage in the wig, consider sending it for professional repair, especially for significant tears in the wig cap. For minor tears, you can repair them yourself by stitching over the tear with clear thread.
