As a hair professional, I have had the very great and humbling experience of dealing with numerous clients who made a change to 360 wigs. The main reason such ground-breaking wigs gained so much popularity in an extremely short period is due to their comfort, versatility, and ultra-realistic designs. However, the care needed to maintain the health and longevity of your 360 wig has to be closely looked upon and attended to. In this all-inclusive guide, I'll share my expert tips on how to keep your 360 wigs looking their best.

Washing And Conditioning

Washing and conditioning are essential factors for maintaining the health and looks of your 360 wig. Here are some key tips:

• Wash your 360 wig every 1-2 weeks, depending on how often it is used.
• This method is recommended since over-washing will cause dryness and damage.
• Apply a very mild shampoo designed for synthetic or human hair wigs.
• Regular shampoo should not be used in any case since it may strip the hair of its essential natural oils.
• Massage an adequate amount of conditioner into your hair, with more emphasis on the ends.
• Leave for 15-30 minutes before rinsing.
• With a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt, squeeze out the excess water without rubbing or scrubbing the hair with a regular towel because it will cause tangling and eventually lead to breakage.
• Air-dry your wig, or use a cool setting on your blow dryer to style.

Styling And Handling

These styling and handling tips will help to avoid tangling and matting:

• Gently tease the hair using a wire brush or a teasing comb. This will help give volume and dimension.
• Always comb or brush your wig from the ends up towards the roots to avoid tangling.

Hairline Maintenance

A well-maintained hairline is one of the keys to a natural-appearing 360 wig. The following tips will help you have a great hairline:

• Use a specialized adhesive or tape for hairlines to secure in place.
• Do not apply glue or tape directly on the skin, as this can be an irritant.
• Gently clean with mild soap and a slightly damp cloth. Avoid strong chemicals and exfoliating scrubs.
• Use a soft-bristled brush or a makeup brush to blend stray hairs along the hairline.
• Using scissors or clippers, trim any stray hairs growing along the hairline.

Storage And Travel

When storing or travelling with your 360 wigs, follow these steps:

• Never stack more than one wig over another. It may cause creasing and damage.
• When travelling, you can take out a travel-size comb or brush and style your wig before keeping it in its case.
• Precautions always keep the wig out of direct sunlight, heat vents, and extreme temperatures.
• Tips Listed below are other tips that you need to remember: Avoid harsh chemicals or dyes on your 360 wig since they will further damage the hair, and trim regularly for split ends so it won't break or tangle.
• Gently comb out knots or tangles using a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush.
• Consider regular trimming by a professional for the integrity of the wig from both health and aesthetics perspectives.
