Synthetic wigs and hair toppers are made with a lightweight fiber that holds its style, color and curl pattern, even after washing. With simple care, a synthetic wig stays soft, shiny and natural-looking for months. This guide covers how to wash, dry, detangle and store a regular synthetic wig or topper. If your wig is heat friendly (HF, HD or heat resistant), see our Heat Friendly Wig Care Guide instead.
Synthetic fiber can tangle or frizz over time, especially at the nape and on mid-length and long styles, where hair rubs against collars, scarves and car seats. To keep it smooth:
Regular synthetic fiber is sensitive to heat. Be cautious near open ovens, grills, heaters, dishwashers and steam, and when lighting candles or fireplaces. A sudden blast of heat can frizz or melt the fiber in seconds, and the damage can't be reversed.
Signs it's time for a new wig include frizz at the ends that won't comb out, a dry or dull texture, thinning at the nape or a stretched cap. Rotating between two wigs helps each one last longer.
You'll need a synthetic wig shampoo and conditioner, a detangling spray, a wide tooth comb and a wig stand. Shop wig care products for synthetic hair.
It's best not to. Sleeping in a wig causes friction and tangling, and shower heat and steam can damage the fiber. Remove your wig and place it on a stand overnight.
Frizz is usually caused by friction against clothing or by exposure to heat. Detangle daily, reduce friction at the nape and keep the wig away from heat sources. Regular synthetic frizz can't be smoothed with heat, so prevention is key.
No. Synthetic fiber does not absorb hair dye. If you'd like a new color, choose a new wig; our wig color charts can help you compare shades by brand.
Regular synthetic wigs hold their style permanently and can't be heat styled. Heat friendly synthetic wigs can be restyled with low heat but may need a little more daily care. See our Heat Friendly Wig Care Guide.
It's best not to. Regular shampoos can strip and dull synthetic fiber. Use products made specifically for synthetic wigs.

"I ordered Play it Straight for my first RW wig. Wanted a synthetic one for easier care. It doesn't quite look like the Raquel photo which seems longer and straighter than mine. SS14/24 (Sparkling Champagne) is a lovely color--very warm and pretty. I was disappointed it has permatease--must have missed that while reading reviews/videos."
"Too short for me"
"I found her on Clearance at Wigstudio1. com. I love her. Her fibers are regular synthetic and the density is light. If there is permatease it is not noticable. The lace front is spectacular and leaves a perfect hairline. Thank you Wigstudio1 for being such a wonderful retailer!"
"I love the cut and the color, one of my favorites."
"I’ve had many complements on the color ‘sugared licorice’! I only wish i could have this same color in. heat friendly styles."
"A new color for me with Shaded Toast, and I got compliments! The rooting makes it possible for me to go this light. Very beautiful style. I will wear her a lot."
"I purchased my first RW Play it Straight and it's my first lace front mono part wig. The color is SS30/28 SS Spice. I love this wig because it is so realistic! Not too much hair, great style that's classic as well as on trend with the razor cutting in the back. I received the wig so quickly and as promised. Thank you WS1!"
"I have a small head and this wig had way too much (very) shiny hair. Screamed wig!"
"Was a little worried when first tried on but with a little “piece out cream” and dry shampoo, it’s a new favorite Out of the box she’s a little too glossy and bangs tended to hang in my eyes. I kept going back to various reviews and learned how to make it work for me"
