đStorage Mistakes That Damage Your Wig (and How to Avoid Them)
Share
Letâs talk about the common mistakes that can shorten your wigâs lifespan â and how to keep your wig looking like new, day after day. âš
â 1. Leaving your wig anywhere and everywhere
On a chair, sofa or the side of your bed? Big no. When your wig isnât stored properly, it can tangle, collect dust or lose its shape.
Do this instead:
Place your wig on a proper stand, foam head or wall hook to help it keep its shape and air out naturally.
â 2. Storing it while damp
After washing or a humid day out, storing your wig while itâs still wet is a recipe for mould, smells and lace damage.
Wigglow tip:
Let it air dry fully â either on a wig stand or laid flat â and avoid heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
â 3. Using sealed plastic bags
A sealed plastic bag might seem protective, but it can trap moisture and cause frizz, creases, and unwanted smells.
Much better:
Use a breathable fabric pouch or the satin bag included with your Wigglow order â it prevents friction and lets the fibres breathe.
â 4. Folding or squashing it into a drawer
Folding your wig or stuffing it in a drawer can leave dents and creases, especially on straight styles or defined partings.
Pro move:
Store your wig flat in a satin-lined box or hang it up. Travelling? Wrap it gently in a silk scarf before popping it in your luggage.
â 5. Forgetting to brush it before storing
Leftover tangles and product build-up can cause long-term damage if not taken care of before storage.
Quick routine before putting it away:
â Detangle gently with a wig brush
â Add a light moisturising mist if needed
â And voilĂ â itâs ready for the next slay
In a nutshell:
A well-stored wig is a long-lasting wig.
Smart storage = a flawless wig, every time you put it on âš
