Care Instructions

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

  1. Gently remove tangles with a wide tooth comb, starting at the ends and working up.
  2. Hold the wig under cool running water, letting the water flow in the direction the hair falls.
  3. 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.
  4. Rinse thoroughly in cool water until the water runs clear.
  5. Wrap the wig in a towel and gently pat out the excess water. Do not wring or twist it.
  6. 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:

  • Detangle daily with a detangling spray and a wide tooth comb.
  • 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.

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

The color was no where

"The color was no where close to the picture which seems to always be an issue. I got approval to return the wig because there is no way I can wear it and planned on re-ordering with a different color but with Christmas and sickness I missed the deadline so I am stuck with the wig. I doubt if I will be ordering on-line wigs again."

— Beverly C. (1/5)

Style was great

"Good quality. For me, the length was longer than expected."

I now have four Monika

"I now have four Monika wigs and LOVE them! Beautiful style and I don't even feel like I'm wearing a wig. I've received so many compliments. If I tell someone that it's a wig, they are amazed. I highly recommend Monika!"

— Carole K. (5/5)

An Easy, Fun, & Flirty Style

"This is my first Monica and I had to wait three months to receive her as I ordered the “Caramel Kiss” color, which is extremely popular and sells out quickly. The lace front on my Monica is the best I’ve ever seen, seriously. The color around the face is a little lighter, making the knots impeccable and realistic. But what amazes me is that this is the only wig I’ve ever purchased that I didn’t need to pluck the part. It’s perfect. All of that being said, the length is a little longer than the published measurements, the fibers are so shiny that I most definitely need to tone it down with dry shampoo, and the cap runs on the larger size of average-to-large and I have it cinched in as far as it can go. Nevertheless, the lace is soft and not scratchy, and the cap itself is comfortable for my buzzed-cut head. The ear tabs come out and down far enough to provide adequate coverage. She washes well, dries very quickly, and is a true shake and go style. The flipping in the back for my Monica actually starts on the sides and there are times I will catch a glimpse of the wig in a reflection and it reminds me of “Linda,” the mother in “Bob’s Burgers,” so I’m working on training the sides to be turned under like a bob cut before it flips up in the back. The back of the wig has greats layers and is very fun. All-in-all, I’d recommend Monica and if I get another one, I’d go with a different color."

— Margaret M. (3/5)

Fibers are lux, but the color is darker in person.

"The fit and comfort great. Fibers are soft and luxurious. It's just a little darker than I what I saw from the image online, if it was lighter then it would be 5 stars. This is my second wig from StudioOne and I am a newbie in my wig journey. I probably won't order again on this website. This is my second review and I have yet to see reviews on this website. Interesting."

— Jeannie C. (4/5)

Cute, bouncy, casual!

"I am honestly blown away by this one. As a WigStudio1 guest reviewer, the wigs that get sent to me for review are not always my own personal style preference. I can still see the value and worth in them and honestly am thrilled with all hair as a woman who hasn't had much for 20+ years. But every now and then I get sent a wig to review that blows me away. Monika is that wig. So cute and comfy, with awesome movement and bounce from her perfect layers. Just adorable!"

— Denise S. (5/5)

Realistic Wig

"I'm glad I purchased the Monika. It is so lightweight and the lace front is beautiful. This came just in time for the summer months."

— Carolyn H. (5/5)

Your hair colors

"Hard to see your true colors. Ordered 1 wig color was not good. Disappointed. Want to order another but afraid."
