Do you shampoo human hair wigs?

Can you wash a human hair wig with regular shampoo?
It’s better to avoid using regular hair care products on your wigs, as the harsh chemicals in regular shampoos can cause damage. Instead, we recommend products that are specially designed with human hair wigs in mind, such as the Ellen Wille Human Hair Wig Care Set, complete with shampoo, balm and conditioner to make your hair smooth and soft.
How do you put on a human hair wig?

What to know before buying a human hair wig?
Human hair wigs are fabricated from donated or harvested human hair, meaning the hair behaves and looks as if it were your own. The natural colour, texture and movement found in human hair wigs is often hard to replicate in a synthetic wig, which is why human hair wigs often come with a slightly higher price tag. However, the price is more than worth it as real hair wigs are hugely versatile, ensuring you can style them to your every preference.

How often should you wash a human hair wig?
We recommend washing your human hair wig every 6-10 wears to remove the oils and build up that can break down the cap and the hair, making it look dull. However, if you live in a humid climate or use styling products daily, you may find you need to wash your wig more often.
How long do human hair wigs last?
A human hair wig is a worthwhile investment that can last up to a year when worn daily if maintained correctly. In contrast, whilst often cheaper in price, synthetic wigs have a shorter lifespan of 4-6 months when worn daily. To improve the longevity of your human hair wig, we’ve put together 5 top tips for caring for your human hair wig.
