Curly synthetic wigs are a fun, stylish way to express yourself. But, like all great things, they need a little extra love and care to stay looking fabulous. If you’re wondering how to keep those bouncy curls fresh and frizz-free, you’ve come to the right place! In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about caring for your curly synthetic wigs—from detangling to washing and drying.
Let’s dive into some simple and effective tips to keep your synthetic curls looking their best!
Detangling Curly Synthetic Wigs
The Right Tools Matter
Curly wigs can easily get tangled if not handled carefully. The key to avoiding frizz and breakage is to always use a wide-tooth comb. Combs or brushes with finer teeth can pull at the fibers, which can lead to frizzing and damage.
Daily Detangling Tips
For the best results, detangle your curly wig daily using a detangling spray. Spray the hair with water first, followed by your favorite wig-friendly detangler. This helps to keep the curls clumped together and prevents unwanted frizz. Make sure to gently comb through the hair to keep those curls looking smooth and defined.
Pro Tip:
Always use a wide-tooth comb and detangler spray when styling curly synthetic wigs. This will protect your curls and keep them bouncy for longer!
Washing Curly Synthetic Wigs
How Often Should You Wash It?
Curly synthetic wigs don’t need to be washed as often as human hair wigs. We recommend washing your curly wig after every 6 to 8 wears.
How to Wash Your Wig
Use cool water and gently run it through the wig in a downward motion. Make sure your fingers are spread wide apart as you rake through the hair—this keeps the curl pattern intact. Avoid scrubbing the fibers, as this could mess with the texture of your wig.
Pro Tip:
Use your fingers in a raking motion to preserve the curls while washing. And remember, avoid using hot water—it can damage the synthetic fibers.
Drying Curly Synthetic Wigs
Dry It Right
After washing, detangle the wig while it's still wet, using the same wide-tooth comb. Then, twirl the curls with your fingers to help them keep their shape as the wig dries.
Maximizing Volume
To get the most volume out of your curly wig, let it air dry upside down on a wig stand. This will lift the curls and give your wig extra bounce.
Pro Tip:
To keep the curls from getting weighed down by water, use a hairnet to cradle the lengths of the wig as it dries. This also prevents the curl pattern from loosening over time.

How often should I wash my synthetic wig?
Synthetic wigs should generally be washed every 6 to 8 wears. Washing too often can shorten the lifespan of your wig, while not washing it enough can cause build-up of product and dirt.

Not all synthetic wigs are heat-friendly. Always check if your wig is labeled as "heat styleable" before using heat tools. Most curly synthetic wigs should not be exposed to heat.

To make your synthetic wig last longer, follow proper care steps: detangle daily, wash it gently, and store it properly when not in use. Avoid excessive heat and rough handling.
Where should I store my wig when I’m not wearing it?
Store your wig on a wig stand to help it maintain its shape. For curly wigs, storing them upside down on the stand can help preserve the volume and curl pattern.
