Why & How to Wash a 4×4 HD Lace Wig

If you have ever owned a lace front wig, you know that they are a lot of work! They need to be cleaned and conditioned regularly.

You may be tempted to skip this step in your routine, but keep in mind that the more you wear it, the more it will lose its luster and shine. And that’s not what you want when it comes to your 4×4 closure wig, right?

Washing your 4×4 Hd Lace wig is an important step in keeping your wig looking brand new.

So why do you need to wash your 4×4 Hd Lace wigs?

To remove the chemical residue.

  • To restore the natural movement of your hair’s cuticle by removing any build up of old conditioner and hair products.
  • To add moisture back into your hair, which is especially important during the winter months when it is cold and dry outside.
  • To help keep your wig clean, fresh and free from bacteria that can cause odors or discoloration in synthetic materials.
  • To increase the durability of your wig by adding oils like jojoba oil or coconut oil to seal in moisture while protecting it from heat styling tools like flat irons and curling irons if you choose to use them on your wig (which we don’t recommend).

So how often should you wash your 4×4 Hd Lace Wig?

It depends on how often you wear it: if you wear it every day then it needs to be washed every 2-3 weeks. If you don’t wear your 4×4 Hd Lace Wig every day then washing once or twice a month will do fine.

The best way to wash a 4×4 HD lace wig is to simply use warm water and shampoo. The wig should be washed in the same manner as you would wash your own hair. Here’s how:

  1. Shampoo and condition. The best shampoos to use are sulfate-free, and those that contain natural ingredients like aloe vera, coconut oil, and shea butter. Avoid shampoos with a lot of alcohols as they can dry out your hair and scalp.
  2. Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all shampoo is removed from the wig cap (the part that covers your head).
  3. Gently squeeze excess water from the wig using a towel or press it against a towel to soak up the excess water until it’s almost weightless again. Do not wring it out! This will cause tangles and breakage!
  4. Let your lace front wig air dry completely before placing it back on your head. This can take anywhere from one hour to a few days depending on how much time you have and how long it took for your wig to fully dry after shampooing.

Conclusion

Washing a lace front wig regularly will help you to maintain its original look, style, and feel. It’s important to remember that washing a human hair or synthetic is not the same as normal laundry. Any lace or front must be shampooed with a special care and specific techniques for the hair.

The bad news is that yes, there is a bit of work involved in washing a lace-front – but the good news is that you don’t necessarily have to do it more than once every two weeks or so. And at the end of this process, you will have a brand-new lace wig ready to wear in no time!
