This is important as sulfates and other harsh chemicals found in many shampoos and conditions can destroy your wig over time.

Wash it always with cold or warm water, particularly for any colored wigs as the hot water can lead to color fading over time. Once you’ve washed and removed all conditioner, place it on a mannequin head( textured units are recommend to be put on a dry towal) and let it air dry. Since hair is more vulnerable to damage when it’s wet, air drying can help maintain the lifespan of your wig.
