Whether you’re new to wigs or have been wearing them for years, one thing’s for sure: the right wig care kit can be the difference between a wig that just lasts and a wig that looks fresh, fabulous, and ready for any occasion. At Hairware, we believe that caring for your wig isn’t just about keeping it looking beautiful — it’s about helping you feel confident and comfortable, every single day.
So, let’s break down the must-have wig accessories that deserve a permanent place in your routine.
1. Wig Stand – Your Wig’s Best Friend
Think of your wig stand as a mini spa retreat for your wig. Whether it’s a sturdy tabletop version or a foldable travel stand, it helps your wig keep its shape, improves airflow for quicker drying after washing, and prevents tangling. Pro tip: place your wig on the stand whenever you’re not wearing it, even overnight.
2. Wig Brush or Comb – Gentle Is the Goal
Not all brushes are created equal. A proper wig brush or wide-tooth comb is designed to glide through synthetic or human hair wigs without causing breakage. Avoid regular hairbrushes, which can pull, frizz, or damage the fibres. Start at the ends and work your way up for a smooth, stress-free detangle.
3. Wig Shampoo & Conditioner – Keep It Fresh
Ordinary shampoos? No thanks. Wig fibres need specialist products that cleanse without stripping moisture or damaging texture. A gentle wig shampoo removes build-up, while a lightweight conditioner restores softness and shine. Bonus: they help extend your wig’s lifespan, so you can enjoy your favourite style for longer.
4. Wig Caps & Liners – Comfort Meets Care
A good wig cap not only keeps your natural hair tucked away but also creates a smooth base, improves wig fit, and reduces friction against your scalp. Breathable caps and moisture-wicking liners are especially great for warmer days or active lifestyles.
5. Styling Tools for Heat-Friendly & Human Hair Wigs – Keep the Fresh Look
If your wig is heat-friendly synthetic or human hair, it will need occasional heat styling to keep it looking salon-fresh. Over time, even the best fibres can lose their shape or smoothness. A good-quality flat iron, curling wand, or heated rollers, paired with a wig-safe heat protectant, can revive the style, tame frizz, and restore bounce. Just remember: always check the recommended heat setting for your wig type to avoid damage.
Building Your Perfect Wig Care Kit
The best part? You don’t need to buy everything at once. Start with the basics: a stand, brush, and shampoo - then build your kit around your lifestyle. If you wear your wig daily, invest in high-quality care products to keep it looking salon-fresh. If you rotate between styles, make sure you’ve got enough storage options to keep each one safe.
