13 Wig Care Myths That Could Be Damaging Your Wig: Let’s Debunk Them!

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , /by

When it comes to wigs, wig care and maintenance are essential for keeping your investment looking beautiful and lasting longer. Unfortunately, there are many wig care myths that can lead to premature wear, tangling, or even damaging your wig. At Strut Hair Solutions, we’re here to help you separate fact from fiction and provide the proper wig care knowledge you need.

Let’s uncover 13 common wig care myths and reveal the truths behind them, ensuring you get the most out of your human hair wigs, synthetic wigs, or hair toppers.

Myth 1: Wigs Don’t Require Washing

The Truth: Even though wigs don’t produce natural oils like your scalp, they still collect dirt, sweat, and product buildup. For human hair wigs, washing every 8–10 wears keeps them looking fresh. For synthetic wigs, a wash every 15–20 wears will do the trick. Always use a wig-specific shampoo for best results.

Myth 2: Regular Hair Products Are Fine for Wigs

The Truth: Your favorite shampoo or hairspray might seem harmless, but they can damage the fibers of your wig, especially synthetic ones. To keep your wig fibers intact, always use products specifically designed for wigs, like wig shampoos, conditioners, and styling sprays.

Myth 3: Heat Styling Won’t Hurt a Wig

The Truth: While heat-friendly wigs and human hair wigs can handle styling with hot tools, most synthetic wigs will melt or become damaged under heat. Always check your wig label before using flat irons or curling wands.

Myth 4: Wigs Can Be Stored Anywhere

The Truth: Proper storage is crucial for keeping your wig looking its best. Use a wig stand or mannequin to maintain its shape, and avoid leaving your wig in direct sunlight or humid environments.

Myth 5: Sleeping in Your Wig Is Fine

The Truth: Sleeping in your wig can cause tangling, matting, and unnecessary wear and tear. If you want your wig to last longer, remove it before bedtime.

Myth 6: Brushing a Wig Is the Same as Brushing Natural Hair

The Truth: Wigs require extra care when brushing. Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush, and always start from the ends, working your way up to avoid tangling or shedding.

Myth 7: You Can Dye Any Wig

The Truth: Only human hair wigs can be dyed safely, and even then, it’s recommended to have them colored by a professional. Attempting to dye a synthetic wig can ruin it.

Myth 8: Synthetic Wigs Look Fake

The Truth: Thanks to advancements in wig technology, high-quality synthetic wigs can look incredibly natural. Many even come pre-styled, making them a low-maintenance option for anyone.

Myth 9: Wigs Are Uncomfortable

The Truth: Modern wigs are designed for comfort! Features like lightweight caps, lace fronts, and adjustable straps ensure a secure and comfortable fit for all-day wear.

Myth 10: Wigs Are Just for People With Hair Loss

The Truth: Wigs aren’t just for hair loss—they’re for anyone looking to switch up their style, protect their natural hair, or save time styling. Whether you’re interested in a new look or need a hairpiece for thinning hair, wigs are a versatile solution.

Myth 11: Synthetic Wigs Can’t Handle Heat

The Truth: While most synthetic wigs can’t tolerate heat, heat-friendly synthetic wigs can be styled with hot tools. Always read the care instructions on your wig.

Myth 12: Washing Wigs Too Often Damages Them

The Truth: Proper washing actually keeps wigs clean and fresh. Stick to a washing schedule that matches how often you wear your wig, and use wig-safe products to preserve its quality.

Myth 13: Wigs Are High-Maintenance

The Truth: Once you develop a simple wig care routine, maintaining your wig is easy. A little effort goes a long way in keeping your wig looking fabulous.

Raquel Welch Wigs

2018 marks the 20th anniversary of the Raquel Welch wigs collection and the 50th anniversary of HairUWear. Read the full story here: http://www.hairuwear.com/50th/. Let’s explore Raquel Welch’s rise to fame, and how she transitioned from being Hollywood star; Raquel Welch Fantastic Voyage, to drastically shaping the industry of alternative hair.

The Early Days of Actress Raquel Welch

Raquel Welch attended San Diego State University, seeking a career in acting. This led to a job forecasting weather at a local San Diego television station. After various stints modeling and serving cocktails, she finally caught a break in the acting world.

Raquel Welch Wigs

Welch first made an impact in the spotlight for her role in “Fantastic Voyage.” She played a leading part, portraying a medical person who was shrunken to enter the body of a diplomat with the task of saving his life. Raquel Welch in Fantastic Voyage was a huge step in her career, as it immediately made her a star. After the movie released, young Raquel Welch received a contract with 20th Century Fox which was soon transferred to a British Studio so she could be a part of “One Million Years B.C.” This film propelled her acting career even further; she was seemingly the “dream girl” of movie goers everywhere. Later notable Raquel Welch movies include “Bedazzled,” “Bandolero!,” “100rifles,” and “Myra Breckenridge.” Explore her other movies and television appearances here:

The popularity of Raquel Welch hairstyles led to the actor entering the beauty market. She developed a signature line of wigs, and made great strides with “HairUWear.” Let’s take a closer look at how Raquel Welch rose to the top of the wig industry.

The Rise of HairUWear

In March of 2015, Raquel Welch took on a role that isn’t related to acting. She accepted the position of Creative Director at “HairUWear.” Back in 1968, though, the business was founded as Eva Gabor International. The Hairuwear wigs company made it a point to become the leader in wig quality and satisfaction. Now, HairUWear is now the number one alternative hair company in the world. It supplies businesses everywhere with quality wigs, hairpieces, hair extensions, hair accessories and hair replacement programs. HairUWear’s extensive portfolio of eight leading brands—including Raquel Welch—is marketed in over 40 countries. As previously stated, 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of the Raquel Welch Wig Collection, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of HairUWear, the creators of Raquel Welch Wigs.

After working with HairUWear for 15 years, Raquel Welch’s wig line had become so successful, that she bolstered her involvement with the alternative hair company. After becoming the Creative Director, Welch had this to say about her vision: “As the Creative Director of the world’s finest wig company, I have the privilege of working with a brilliant team of designers and stylists to develop my collections. Fresh, fashion-forward looks. Loads of natural texture and movement. Styles that are more fun than fuss. The highest quality craftsmanship. Gorgeous, ready-to-wear hair that feels as good as it looks. My mantra: Make it nothing but the best. Then make it better.” One of HairUWear’s most successful brands is Hairdo by HairUWear.
