How to Store Your Wig Properly to Maintain Its Shape

When you're not wearing your wig, how you store it makes a significant difference in how long it lasts and how well it maintains its style. At Wigs by Jolie, we always emphasize that proper storage is just as important as washing and styling.

The Importance of a Wig Stand

The best way to store your wig is on a dedicated wig stand or a mannequin head. This helps the wig cap maintain its shape and prevents the hair fibers from tangling or flattening. If you have multiple wigs, investing in several stands is highly recommended.

Traveling with Your Wig

If you need to travel, folding your wig gently inside out and placing it in a silk or satin bag is a great way to protect it. Avoid tossing it loosely into a suitcase where it can be crushed or snagged by zippers and clothing.

Avoiding Heat and Sunlight

Always store your wig in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the color of both human hair and synthetic fibers over time. Additionally, keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or open windows.
