Irish Dance Wigs – Caring for your Wig

Irish dancers (females) like to wear their hair in bouncy curls.
Since not all dancers have curly hair, there is a great variety of wigs of diffrent colors and styles.

Once you get a wig you would want to take good care of it.

Here are a few tips to help you care for your irish dance wig.

• Always keep your own hair and scalp clean.
• When you're not wearing your wig, store it on a Styrofoam styling head to maintain it's shape.
• Use specially formulated wig shampoos and conditioners to clean and revitalize your hair.
• After use, gently tidy your wig with the finger tips to split any curls that have joined, to remove any tangles and to tidy any curls that have dropped out of place.
  If you have a tightly curled wig, finger style it, as brushing can cause the style to frizz.
• Never use heat on a synthetic wig! Remember, synthetic wigs are different from your own hair, and cannot handle thermal styling. Never expose your wig to excessive heat sources such as blow dryers, curling irons or ovens.

Here are some tips if you want to wash your wig:

Add one table spoon of Wig shampoo to a sink filled with cold water. Put your wig into the water and move the wig around gently for one minute. Do not rub or scrunch the wig, as this will take out the curls, and make your wig puffy.

Tap dry the wig with a towel, do not rub, scrunch or ring out the wig. Now spray the wig with conditioning spray from a distance of 10-12 inches. You only need to add a little, so don't get to carried away and saturate it. You know the saying. "Less is more"!

Now allow the wig to air dry by placing the wig over a hair spray can, or a shampoo bottle covered with a towel. Do not use a hairdryer and don't place in direct sunlight as this will damage the wig. You may wish to gently style the wig with your fingertips while it is drying.
