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 Wig Care: Quick Answers
How often should I wash a synthetic wig? About every 6 to 8 wears, or sooner in hot weather or if you use styling products.
Can I use heat on a synthetic wig? No. Curling irons, flat irons and blow dryers can melt or frizz regular synthetic fiber. Only heat friendly synthetic and human hair wigs can be heat styled.
What shampoo should I use? A shampoo and conditioner made for synthetic fiber. Regular shampoo can dry out and dull the fiber.
How do I dry it? Let it air dry on a wig stand. Do not blow dry.
How long does a synthetic wig last? With regular wear and good care, most synthetic wigs last about 4 to 6 months.
How to Wash a Synthetic Wig or Topper
Gently remove tangles with a wide tooth comb, starting at the ends and working up.
Hold the wig under cool running water, letting the water flow in the direction the hair falls.
Gently lather a capful of shampoo made for synthetic hair through the fiber, keeping the hair moving in one direction. Do not rub or scrub, which causes tangling.
Rinse thoroughly in cool water until the water runs clear.
Wrap the wig in a towel and gently pat out the excess water. Do not wring or twist it.
Mist the ends with a conditioning spray made for synthetic hair and gently detangle with a wide tooth comb, keeping the conditioner away from the cap.
How to Dry and Style a Synthetic Wig
Place the wig on a plastic or wire wig stand and let it air dry completely. Do not blow dry.
Make sure the cap is fully dry before wearing or storing the wig.
Once dry, shake the wig out and style it with your fingertips or a wig brush or comb. The fiber will return to its original style.
Do not use curling irons, flat irons or blow dryers unless the wig is specifically labeled heat friendly synthetic or human hair.
How to Prevent Tangling and Frizz
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:
Always comb from the ends upward, never from the root down.
Reduce friction at the nape by avoiding rough collars and high-friction fabrics.
Avoid brushing curly or wavy styles when dry; separate curls with your fingers instead.
Keep Your Synthetic Wig Away from Heat
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.
How to Store a Synthetic Wig
Store your wig on a wig stand or in its original hairnet, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Keep it out of humid bathrooms when not in use.
For travel, place it inside a hairnet and pack it loosely in a box or bag so it doesn't get crushed.
When to Replace a Synthetic Wig
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.
Synthetic Wig Care FAQ
Can I sleep or shower in a synthetic wig?
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.
Why is my synthetic wig frizzy at the ends?
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.
Can I color or dye a synthetic wig?
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.
What's the difference between synthetic and heat friendly synthetic wigs?
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.
Can I use regular shampoo on a synthetic wig?
It's best not to. Regular shampoos can strip and dull synthetic fiber. Use products made specifically for synthetic wigs.

Reviews
Love the Winner Petite!
"I just bought a new Winner Petite in R16/21s+. It is my first time to buy ths color and I wasn't sure I would like it. It looks like there is gold in this color but all the videos say it is neutral to cool. I like cool colors the best. I have worn it a couple of times and my friends say it looks good on me. I have bought some expensive wigs but here I am back with Winner! It is such a cute wig and the petite size fits me perfectly. My head circumference is 21. 5 inches. I love the cut of Winner and just the right amount of hair. I have it in r23s+ and r12/22ss. The 12/22 is dark but a beautiful color. I'm keeping all of them."

Wonderful wig
"I love this wig! I have a petite size headand this Winner style fits me perfectly. The cut is also perfect. I don’t have to trim the bangs and it is just the right amount of fibers. I have this in 4 colors. The style is bouncy without doing much to it. I just spray a little water and finger comb it."
— Voncille C. (5/5)
NOT FOR ME
"Pixie wig hair too short for me. Need more coverage on ears and longer bangs. Color was fine."
— Judith T. (5/5)
Can't get a good fit
"Unfortunately, it really doesn't fit. I am struggling to find a wig that fits my head. I had ordered a Sparkle wig in the petite size from Amazon and it fit fine. But I love the Winner wig in the Iced Granita (I have it in the average size) and wanted to get it in petite. When I got it it was so tight, even with the velcros completely released, that it popped up and I looked like a conehead. :( Unfortunately, the average size wigs from Rachel Welch are so big I have to pull them down so far they jam onto my ears and make wearing my hearing aids uncomfortable and there is still a fistful of wig on top of my head! It flops up and down when I walk and go up and down stairs. I really don't know what to do. Tried to get onto your Facebook forum and was rejected I guess. Never got permission to join. Not sure where to go from here."
— Elizabeth C. (2/5)
RW Winner
"I’m very disappointed in this new Winner. It is covered with fly-aways and the fibers are very thin. The wefting shows in the back. I haven’t been successful in taming the fly-aways, so I doubt I will wear it."
— Mary R. (2/5)
RW Winner
"I loved the wig but it still had more hair than I am used to. However, it will probably always be a go to."
— Barbara S. (4/5)
Petite Winner too large!
"I purchased RW Winner in Petite. It is a great look but it is a ""big"" petite. I will have to sew some wefts to make it smaller. I won't buy any more RW wigs. They are all too big. But Winner is a very cute and comfortable wig."
