As anyone who has worn wigs knows, getting a wig of any kind is just the first step. To make the most of your wigs, you need to look after them, give them some TLC. And bob wigs are no different. Having said that, the good news is, bob wigs aren't too fussy. 


In this post, we’ll share a few simple, best care tips to get the most out of your bobs wigs. If you wear a bob, or plan to get one soon, this one’s for you! 


  1. Keeping it clean: Everyone knows the importance of washing wigs. Each time you wear your wig (and even when it’s stored at home - we’ll come to that in a bit), it picks up some dirt, dust and pollution. In addition, wigs can get greasy from product build up. 

What everyone doesn’t know is the importance of washing your bob wigs with cold water. Hot water pulls moisture out of the wig fibers, making them brittle and prone to damage. Cold water doesn’t do that, keeping your wig looking healthier and increasing its life span. 


  1. Using the right products: Different bobs wigs are made from different materials. You have wigs with human hair, blends or synthetic fibers. There are a few different types of synthetic fibers too! It’s best to use a product that has been recommended by the wig manufacturer. This includes shampoos, conditions and moisturizing serums.

  1. Styling with heat: All human hair wigs and many synthetic ones can be styled with heat tools. Even though that sounds incredibly tempting, we recommend not using heat tools too often. Just like hot water (which we mentioned above), heat tools will also pull out moisture from your wig. Consider using moderate heat settings, or do away with heat all together.

  2. Storing bob wigs: It’s advisable to store bobs wigs away from direct sunlight or a heat source. To help keep the wig shape, you can get yourself a wig stand or foam head. It’s also advisable to keep the wig covered in a box or in the cupboard. This will prevent dust from settling in.

  1. A professional cleanse: Now, we know what you’re thinking, you already talked about washing wigs. But this is a little different. From time to time, take your wig to a hair salon for a thorough cleanse. Professional stylists have more expertise and know how to get every last bit of dirt, product and grease out of your bob wigs - those wig curly bobs will know the importance! When you feel your wig has lost a bit of its oomph, a trip to the salon may be just the rejuvenation it needs!


Conclusion

Some people seem to think once you’ve got your wig, it's done. But you don’t want to be left with bob wigs that don’t look as good as they can, and have a much shorter life as well.


Keep the above best care practices in mind, and you’ll be able to enjoy healthy, gorgeous bobs for a long time to come!
