Human Hair Wigs Lack Natural Oils

Conclusion

Scrubbing shampoo through the hair, scrubbing water on the cap, or scrubbing it clean with a towel will all cause knots, so refrain from any scrubbing of the wig hair.

Sweeping and brushing unidirectional motions work best, including when you're combing. Even sleeping in your wig matters, as the material of your bed sheets or pillows can suck out all of the moisture in your human hair wigs. Choose soft options.

The clothes you wear have a notable effect on the hair at your nape. Silky and satin fabrics work much better than highly fibrous alternatives like wool, which will cause undue friction and result in your hair clumping up in a ball. A curly hair wig will have a tougher time avoiding these issues.

Many things lead to matted hair, and not all of them are under your control. Nevertheless, with proper care and some precautions your human hair wig can fight off a lot of those pesky tangles and save you all the associated frustration.
