😎Storage Mistakes That Damage Your Wig (and How to Avoid Them)

😎Storage Mistakes That Damage Your Wig (and How to Avoid Them)

Let’s talk about the common mistakes that can shorten your wig’s lifespan — and how to keep your wig looking like new, day after day. ✹


❌ 1. Leaving your wig anywhere and everywhere

On a chair, sofa or the side of your bed? Big no. When your wig isn’t 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.


❌ 2. Storing it while damp

After washing or a humid day out, storing your wig while it’s still wet is a recipe for mould, smells and lace damage.

Wigglow tip:
Let it air dry fully — either on a wig stand or laid flat — and avoid heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.


❌ 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 — it prevents friction and lets the fibres breathe.


❌ 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.


❌ 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:
→ Detangle gently with a wig brush
→ Add a light moisturising mist if needed
→ And voilà — it’s 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 ✹
