Can you wash wigs? hmmm, how do you do it? Do you use shampoo and stuff?

Hi Sophie,

I saw you post this question in Jadeanne's what are you wearing today area and thought I'd create a thread in case someone does a search for this later. I know it's been talked about here before, but I did a search and couldn't find a thread that fit the bill.

Natural hair wigs can be washed in warm water with normal shampoo and non natural wigs are washed in cold water with a wig shampoo.

Here's a link: (one of a million)

I bought a real nice human hair - blonde, but it just did not look right and I had trouble doing anything with it, sooooooo, I put it on and got in the shower and shampooed it like it was my own. Well, it can out clean and shiny and just a straight as can be. I will have to take it to a beautician to be styled and most do not like to work on human hair wigs. Here they charge about $17.00 to wash, set and style a synthetic - as cheap as a haircut. Real hair runs about $25.00. I have a "reddish"? long one that I had styled and she told me that it evidently has two different compositions and she could not do much with it. It is the old saying "you get what you pay for."
