How to Store Hairpieces? – Tips from "Wigs Room"
A hairpiece is the perfect way to add your desired volume, length, and elegance to your hair in a matter of seconds. However, for this valuable accessory to maintain its original shine, structure, and beauty for years to come, it requires proper care and, most importantly, proper storage.
The experts at the wig shop "Wigs Room" share 5 golden rules to help you keep your favorite hairpiece in flawless condition.
1. Preparation: Brushing and Drying
The first and most crucial step before storing your hairpiece is preparing it. Never store the accessory while it is tangled or damp. After use, gently brush the hair from top to bottom using a special soft-bristle brush.
2. Original Packaging or Special Bags
The best place to store a hairpiece is the box or bag it came in. If you want to keep your hairpieces protected from dust and environmental factors, store them horizontally in their original brand packaging. For long ponytails or clip-ins, special silk or satin bags are also ideal - this fabric minimizes friction, preventing the hair from getting static and tangled.
3. Securing the Attachment Mechanisms
Before placing your hairpiece into its storage box, always pay attention to its structural details - clips, pins, and ribbons. All types of pins and clips (whether they have a silicone lining or not) must be kept in the closed position.
4. Temperature Control and Humidity
The environment where you store your hair extensions and wigs has a major impact on hair quality. Natural hair is sensitive to environmental conditions. Keep your accessory in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight (such as a closet shelf). Avoid storing them in the bathroom due to high humidity, or near heaters, as excessive dryness and heat can strip natural hair of its moisture, leaving it lifeless.
5. Vertical Storage for Frequent Use
If you use your hairpiece daily or several times a week, constantly taking it out of and putting it back into a box can be inconvenient. In this case, the best solution is using specialized hangers or mannequin heads. You can hang the hairpiece vertically, which helps the hair retain its original shape (whether a straight texture or Hollywood waves) and ensures it is always ready to wear.
