How do you take care of synthetic blend hair?

Taking care of synthetic blend hair requires a gentle approach to maintain its look and prolong its lifespan. Here’s how:

Gentle Handling

Be Gentle: Synthetic blend hair is more delicate than natural hair. Handle it with care to avoid unnecessary shedding or damage.

Wash Sparingly: Unlike human hair, synthetic blends don't require frequent washing. Wash only when necessary, typically after 15-20 wears, or when product build-up is noticeable.
Use Cool Water: Always use cool water when washing. Hot water can damage the fibers.
Synthetic-Specific Shampoo: Use a shampoo specifically designed for synthetic hair. Regular shampoos can strip the fibers and shorten the lifespan of the hairpiece.
Gentle Cleansing: Gently massage the shampoo into the hair, avoiding harsh rubbing. Rinse thoroughly with cool water.

Avoid Wringing: Never wring or twist synthetic blend hair.
Pat Dry: Gently pat the hair with a dry towel to remove excess water.
Air Dry: Allow the hair to air dry on a wig stand or a clean, flat surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not use a hairdryer unless the hair is heat-resistant (check the manufacturer's instructions).

Use the Right Comb: Use a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush specifically designed for synthetic hair. Avoid regular brushes, as they can cause frizz and damage.
Comb When Dry: Only comb the hair when it's dry. Wet synthetic fibers are more prone to stretching and breakage.
Start at the Ends: Begin combing from the ends and gradually work your way up to the roots to prevent tangles.
Heat Styling (If Applicable): If the synthetic blend is heat-resistant, use heat styling tools on a low setting. Always use a heat protectant spray specifically formulated for synthetic hair. Excessive heat can melt or damage the fibers. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.

Synthetic Hair Products: Stick to products specifically made for synthetic hair. These include shampoos, conditioners, detanglers, and heat protectant sprays.
Avoid Alcohol-Based Products: Products containing alcohol can dry out the fibers and cause them to become brittle.

Proper Storage: Store the hairpiece on a wig stand or in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This helps maintain its shape and prevent tangling.

Minimize Friction: Reduce friction by using a satin pillowcase or headscarf when sleeping.
Avoid High Heat: Keep the hair away from ovens, fireplaces, and other sources of high heat.
No Styling: Synthetic blend hair often comes pre-styled and generally holds its style well. Limit excessive styling to avoid damage.

By following these tips, you can keep your synthetic blend hair looking its best for longer.
