Wig Storage

1 

Clean your wig

Before you store your wig, clean the wig. Your wig should be free from any styling products, residue or elements from daily use.

2

Use a wig stand or a mannequin head

It is best practice if you use a wig stand or a mannequin head when not wearing your wig.  A wig stand or a mannequin head helps your wig maintain its shape.  It also prevents tangles.  This will allow air to circulate around the wig, preventing moisture build-up

Storage

If you don't have a wig stand, then store your wig in a breathable bag.  Silk or satin bags work great, or you can use a box. Make sure the bag or box is clean and dry.  Try and avoid using plastic bags as they can trap moisture and cause mold or mildew.

4

Store in a cool, dry place

Store your wig in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.  Avoid storing your wig in a humid environment, as this can cause the hair fibers to frizz and tangle.

5

Protect from dust

Protect your wig from dust.  If the wig is in a box, you can wrap it in a clean cloth or tissue paper to protect if from dust and othe debris.

6

Avoid folding or crushing your wig

To prevent the wing from losing its shape, avoid folding or crushing it during storage.  If possible, store the wig in a way that allows it to retain its natural style and shape.  This is best accomplished by using a wig stand or a mannequin head.
