Most wigs are not ruined by wear. They are ruined at the sink. Scrubbing a wig the way you scrub your own hair breaks the curl pattern and tangles the wefts, and a good unit turns frizzy in a single wash. That is why so many wearers stop washing altogether and end up wearing a dirty piece.
Awesome Human Hair Wig Shampoo is a soak wash. You mix it with water, submerge the wig, wait, and rinse. Dirt, sweat, oils and product buildup release on their own while the curl pattern and style stay exactly as set. No rubbing. No restyling.
How to Use — Soak, Do Not Scrub
- Fill a basin with lukewarm water — a third of a gallon up to a full gallon, depending on the length of the wig.
- Measure with the bottle cap: 2 caps for a short wig, 3 for medium, 4 for long. Stir to mix.
- Submerge the wig and soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Lift it out and rinse 3 to 4 times with lukewarm water.
- Do not rub or scrub. Pat dry and place on a wig stand.
- Finish with Awesome Human Hair Wig Leave-In Conditioner Spray and comb through from the ends upward.
Fiber Fit — Human Hair
This shampoo is balanced to pH5, the range where the human hair cuticle stays smooth and closed. Everyday cleansers run pH7 to 8 and slowly roughen and dry the hair — which matters a great deal on a piece washed only every two to four weeks.
Synthetic fiber is sealed and does not have a cuticle to protect, so it takes a different wash: Awesome Synthetic Wig Shampoo at pH6. Using the wrong formula is why a wig goes stiff or dry.
How Long It Lasts
- One soak uses 2 caps for a short wig, 3 for medium, 4 for long — measured with the cap on the bottle, so there is nothing to guess.
- Most human hair pieces need washing every 2 to 4 weeks, not every day. A 7 fl oz bottle is sized to cover a long stretch of wash days.
- The soak also cleans the cap, lifting oils, makeup and odor so the wig feels fresh at the next wear.
Why It Works
- No scrubbing, no ruined style: soak 10 to 15 minutes and dirt, sweat and product buildup release while the curl pattern stays set.
- pH5 matched to human hair, for pieces washed every 2 to 4 weeks; regular pH7 to 8 cleansers slowly roughen and dry them out.
- Deep cleans the cap too, removing odor and oils for a fresh, comfortable fit.
- Easy measuring with the bottle cap: 2 caps short, 3 medium, 4 long per soak.
- Glycerin, camellia (tsubaki) seed extract and vitamin E in the formula.
- Finish with the matching Awesome conditioner spray for tangle-free combing.
- Paraben-free and mineral oil-free.
