As temperatures drop in Canada, your hair — and your wig — may start to feel the effects of the season. Dry air, static, and friction from hats and scarves can leave your wig feeling less comfortable and harder to manage. Whether you wear a wig for medical or fashion reasons, a few seasonal care adjustments can help keep it looking and feeling its best all winter long.
1. Combat Dryness with Proper Hydration
Cold air outdoors and indoor heating can strip moisture from your wig fibers. To prevent dryness and brittleness, use a lightweight wig-friendly leave-in conditioner or hydrating mist. Serenity Wig Boutique’s Vegan Care & Styling Line is designed to protect both human hair and synthetic wigs — without heavy buildup.
2. Reduce Static and Frizz
When humidity drops, static increases. Before brushing, lightly spritz your wig with water or a fiber-safe conditioning spray. A metal comb or anti-static brush can also help minimize flyaways. Avoid over-drying your wig with heat tools during this season.
3. Protect Your Wig Under Hats and Scarves
Hats and scarves are winter essentials, but friction can cause tangling and shedding. To protect your wig, wear a silk or satin liner underneath your hat. These smooth fabrics reduce friction and help maintain your wig’s natural shine.
4. Adjust Your Washing Routine
In colder months, you can wash your wig less frequently — about every 7–10 wears, depending on your activity level. Over-washing can dry out the fibers, while a gentle cleansing schedule helps retain softness and structure. Always use fiber-safe shampoo and conditioner to prevent damage.
5. Store Your Wig Safely
When you’re not wearing your wig, store it on a wig stand away from direct heat or sunlight. This helps the fibers maintain their shape and keeps them from drying out or becoming frizzy.
