How to maintain curly lace wings

Lace wigs can be worn every day or for a special occasion. Regardless of how often you wear a lace wig, all lace wigs eventually start to wear. Because of this, apply special care. Curly human lace wigs can be especially difficult to take care of, because the curl shape must be maintained for the wig to retain most of its original look. Learning to take care of your curly lace wig can save a lot of money for you.

Things You'll Need:Wig shampoo,Wide-toothed comb,Detangling spray.

Wash your curly lace wig sparingly. Lace wigs do not need to be washed as often as your own hair; however, after several weeks, dirt and oil can build up, causing your wig to lose its luster. Your lace wig may also become stiff and hard to style. Curly human hair lace wigs should be washed before this happens. Always check the washing instructions for your particular full lace wig or lace front wig. The general rule for all lace wigs is that they should be washed very gently in a shallow basin filled with warm water and wig shampoo. Simply swish your wig in the water without rubbing. Take it out and lay it on towels to try. You can pat the excess water off your lace wig, but do not rub your lace wig; because this may cause it to lose its curls sometimes.


Cut the ends of your lace wig if necessary. Curly lace wigs especially have a tendency to become frizzy and tangled. Cutting a few centimeters off the ends of your lace wig can help, but of course, you can only do this so many times without drastically altering your lace wig style.

Use the proper comb. If your lace wig is wavy, you may be able to use a wide-toothed comb to very gently get any tangles out, starting at the tip of the lace wig and working slowly upwards. Lace wigs with tight curls generally should not be combed at all, because this can break apart the curls. Once the curls have been separated, it can be impossible to restyle them as they were. Some lace wigs can be detangled with your fingers gently.

Add water to a "wet and wavy" lace wig. The wet and wavy wig style is not designed to be brushed or combed. Instead, simply spritz water or a gentle conditioner onto the lace wig for upkeep.

Use heat if your lace wig is made of 100 percent human hair. Look at the information on the wig package or ask a wig shop attendant to ascertain if your wig is totally made from human hair. Even wigs made partially of synthetic hair usually burn or melt. Always start with the heat on the lowest setting and gradually increase the temperature if you need to.
