Whether you wear a synthetic or human hair wig, your choice of accessories can make or break its condition. With the help of wig-friendly products, you can take care of your wig for the long haul and even increase its lifespan. Every wig after all needs a helping hand to stay in great shape, with its texture, fit and colour all influenced by your wig care routine.
The humble wig brush is one accessory no wig wearer should be without. In this blog post, we explore why!
Taking the gentler approach is always better when maintaining your wig. While strong, wig fibres aren’t invincible, and need to be nourished and nurtured properly to stay in tip top condition. That’s where a good quality wig brush comes in!
Our wig brush has been specially designed to minimise the risk of snagging and breakages, especially in the wefts or monofilament sections of your wig. It uses silicone tips to prevent damage and keep your wig looking great. With gentle detangling the call of the day, you can reduce the friction and fibre stress that negatively impacts a wig’s lifespan to help it last much, much longer.
The style and shape of your wig can also be preserved with the right tools. Specially designed for use with synthetic wigs, our wig brush carefully preserves cut, curl pattern and volume.
Even with regular brushing, your wig won’t excessively shed either. Instead a dedicated wig brush will evenly distribute tension across the wig cap to prevent the loss of fibres and keep your wig thicker for longer. A wig brush also helps to keep things ship-shape for smoother styles too, minimising the frizz and static that can ruin your signature look.
If you’re using your wig as a protective style, you may be surprised to hear that improper wig usage can actually have the opposite effect. We’ll let Conditioner Hacks explain more about the statistics behind breakages from extended wig use:
“Hair breakage and thinning can arise from extended wear of wigs, improper styling, and lack of moisture. An article from the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology highlights that improper wig usage can lead to hair loss in some individuals. Studies show that approximately 53% of wig wearers experience some form of hair breakage, according to a survey by the Hair Society. This statistic indicates the importance of proper hair care practices while wearing wigs.”
You can minimise the tugging, stress and strain that puts unnecessary pressure on your natural hair by using a wig brush. For lace front and monofilament wigs in particular, wig brushes are gentle enough to provide thorough detangling while protecting both the wig cap and the wearer’s scalp. Our wig brush effectively glides over wig fibres to keep the foundation below intact.
You don’t have to venture far to discover a quality wig brush that’ll detangle with ease and unlock the many benefits detailed above. Our wig brush is ideal for teasing, lifting, styling and detangling synthetic wigs. It’s also super compact – measuring in at 16cm – which means you can take control of fly away hairs anywhere!
