I’ve been doing this for about five years only difference is I use fabric softener.. I simply let it soak in the fabric softener for about 30 minutes let it air dry brush it out it’s good to go. I learned that technique from one of the Atlanta housewives hairstylist when watching the show one day.
She used fabric softener too
no shampooing?
No shampoo?
@@shamimushittindi1418 not on my synthetic wigs/hair, just slow it to sit in the fabric softener, no shampoo, just rinse and let air dry..
@@jemikabates9038 If I use a really curly wig, should I brush it before? Or no?
Me and my mom are literally washing every synthetic wig that we own rn bc of this video lol Thank you so much!
hahaha yasss! thanks for watching love
How did it go lol

Im going to do this with miu!!! Hahshsbshh
I was skeptical at first but this lady real deal brought my wig back to life and now I’m feelin myself! Thank you girl!!! ❤️
you're welcome boo!
I lost my hair to chemo recently and my friend gave me a wig and said to wash it but didn't tell me how so I'm definitely going to give this a try. ❤️❤️
i’m so sorry you’re going through this, i just wanted to say i’m praying for you
Hey love hope you’re doing well and rocking that wig!
Omg me too!! That’s why I’m watching this video lol
Stay strong. Prayers to all women dealing with cancer
@@audreyvera1139 Same here 🙏
Thank you for this because my cheap ass wasn't trying to buy any synthetic shampoo and conditioner.
I heard a silicone spray or silicone mix works too
hahahaha same
😆😆😆😆
*Can relate to this comment!* 😅
😂😂😂 Meeeeeee but we're not "cheap", we just like to save our money when we can and avoid spending it on products when there's DIY options because I had some synthetic wig shampoo in my Amazon cart for 3 days and then thought to myself, (if you don't go to You Tube and find a DIY solution) so I'm currently heading over to Amazon to delete that shampoo in my 🛒 riiiight neowwww)😂
I used woolite and soaked in gain for about 30 mins. Incredible results. I was impressed
Thank you
Thank you this the info I was looking for
Thank you will try soon
I wish I could have found this years ago! I’ve thrown away at least 100 wigs or more because I thought they couldn’t be brought back to life! Thank you so much for the money I’ll save in the future! 😊
Save a wig! Save a life yess Thank you so much for this video! Now instead of trashing my wigs I can save them!! 🙏🌹🌹
Life Plus Mel Did it work for you?
I am giving to cancer charity just my own little idea
Save a wig, save a life 🙌
lol save a wig save a life
U use cold water , hot or warm ?
That yellow bottle of swavitel is the best smelling fabric softener fr thanks for posting sis ❤️😁
Eva Fluksa I grew up on suavetel I gotta try that one
I've never worn a wig but after a disastrous salon visit, it became a necessity :( Finally found one I love but it's getting a bit musty now and I had no idea how to wash it. This was SO HELPFUL!
Yes slayed my wig and revived. This worked for mixed human hair wig
Word ?? That's the ques that brought me here. Tnx!
THIS is why I love my people lol! Gyrl this is genius!! Definitely trying this. Great video! 💕👍🏽
Thanks for watching babe xo
I Love Us We Are so Dope... Thank you Girl for this tip!!!!!!
I wash my wigs on quick wash, no spin and drip dry. Was told to do this by the older women when I was younger. Makes since, a wig is something you wear.
This exactly how ive been saving my wigs ! I'm on #5 all wonderful my very 2 first wigs (ordered them the same size) are 3 years old
right!
I’m so glad I tried this!! I was washing my wigs with regular shampoo. This is much better.Thank you! 🤗
yay! thanks for watching babe :) please share with a friend
Can't you wash with shampoo if you don't have those type of detergents
Thank you for actually explaining what happens after the hair soaks. First time owning a wig and I’m like…okay what’s next??? You’re the best!
hahahaha you're welcome boo! lmk if you have any questions
I'm about to go wash my wigs just like this thanks sweetie I'm a brain surgery survivor and when I had my surgery a few years ago I had to wear wigs for awhile I gotta have another brain surgery soon so thanks again on this amazing tip.
I use a cheap shampoo like Herbal essence mixed with some apple cider vinegar, then I rinse and then condition the hair in some water with fabric softener. I leave it to soak for about 3-5 minutes, then rinse out completely. Leave to dry and style accordingly.
I'll have to try this
Looking at these comments and reviews and I’m literally excited to try this!!!!! I’m so grateful for this video thank you!!!!!!
hey, thank you so much for the tips. especially on explaining how too much product can make this hair stiff. that was my main issue. Im use to human hair wigs, but this pandemic has caused my supplier to experience crazy shipping times, so i went and purchased a synthetic wig that is just gorgeous, i didnt want to give up on it after a couple weeks so i started doing my research. thanks again ! my wig is exactly how it was when i first purchased it. OH, also i realized that i didnt have to chop my ends, i applied some heat to the ends curling them with my curling wand and all is well ...
Excellent information and demonstration! TYSM! I had no idea I could use laundry detergent and fabric softener. No more money spent on expensive wig products! You're the best!
I’m definitely about to try this!!! It was totally genius of you to think to wash fabric with fabric soap! Never would have thought of that!!!! 🔥🔥🔥 will come back with an update
Ahh ty ty I'm brushing the wig out right now and it looks SO much better🥺 it was all tangled and stuff now it amazing! Thank you so so much I thought I could never untangle my ausi wig!
I just washed mine and it's so soft now and can't stop petting it lol.
Ziriya the devil dog hahahahaha
Good video. It's good to revamp synthetic units, I've been doing this for years. I have synthetic pieces up to 5yrs old. This is the best technique 👍🏾
The rhythm of your voice is so melodic and soothing sis. Thank you, thank you for this video cus I didn't want to toss out of wigs.
awe thanks love xo
Finally, I found a video where I can just use the stuff that I have at the house to wash my wig. Thank you. Thank you so match.❤
I just got my brand new wig today and this wig cleaning video definitely came in clutch
Thank you ! I have always wondered how to properly wash my wig and I have been washing wig all wrong. you wig looks beautiful
You are so welcome! Thanks beauty
Definitely wish I have known this year ago because I have thrown out some great wigs that I could have saved. Very HELPFUL thanks so much.
Me too!
By accident I put a synthetic hair bungee in the washing machine ! It came out as new ❤
I wish I had known this years ago.
lol
Me too..Happy i know now😊
I use to do this with my dolls, i wonder why i never thought of using them with my synthetic hair.
Me too!!!! 😑
Thank you so much I’m just seeing this but I washed my synthetic wig with this method and my wig came back to life
yasss LOVE to hear it boo
I'm new to wigs, this video helps. I just started following you. Hi hun I'm sammie
I tried this method and I tell you that this video was a God send, my wigs look bomb💕💕💕 Thanks girl!
I just subscribed hun. Thank you for the information. I'm MtF trans and I've been wearing wigs since 2018. UA-cam has been an invaluable source of information from people like you. Thank you again.
This is the most helpful wig cleansing video I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️ you’re amazing
Yasss honey! I’m about to this to two wigs *RIGHT NOW* thanks boo!
Black Girl In Iran ! How did it go?
Dmya Williams it definitely worked on the synthetic bob I made but not so good on the synthetic curly fro I purchased. I think I may have had the fro too long! lol 😂
lol
Hey did you ever do the video on how to wash synthetic wigs with big curls? I read somewhere in the comments you said you'd make one.
I am trying sooo hard to watch this, but I have become mesmerized by that chocolate sparkly nail polish. Deets, please.
Thank you, love. I tried this before but my wig remained stiff and couldn't figure out why. Now that I know that how much poured matters, it should go right this time around. The other video I watched just said to put the softener in there.... :\
Ur literally a queen 🙌🙌 this helped so much, no more cosplays with old looking wigs
Will the curly/wavy go back on their own? Brush those out too?
Thank you so much for this video I know I’m very late to the party but I had splurged and bought an expensive human hair lace front with when I first lost my hair to chemo and the white woman that sold it to me cut all the lace off said I didn’t need it. I was asking my Black friend about the lace and she said never to trust white women about wigs (jokingly) and ask if she pushed me to buy the special shampoo conditioner and other stuff and I said yes. She said please go watch your YT channel before I waste any more money and I’m so glad I did my synthetic wig just looks as amazing as the day I bought it. So thank you truly for teaching this newbie a thing or two (honestly more than I can count). ❤
This is my first wig and my first time washing the wig using this method. Wish me luck!
Did it work
@@ShalonMondrose Yes!
Gurl this has helped so much!! Especially since I’ve bought my very first wig ever weeks ago and i didn’t know how to wash it, let alone the maintenance part. Gurl when i first unpackaged it was so tangled but hopefully after i wash it rn i can finally brush it and start wearing it chile cuz I’ve been dying to take mad pictures w it for my insta 😭🤞
Loved it! It worked. I used shampoo conditioner because I don’t have the liquid softener
Thanks so much! I’m now a fan 👏
thanks love - please share with a friend xo
your video has helped me save my wigs! thank you girl! 😭💖
Wishing I had fabric softener. Darn. Thanks fir the video I'll keep this in mind!
I’m here to get help getting a wig ready for a cosplay thank you for the help!!
I've been washing mine with shampoo and conditioner. Then ended binning them because they became stiff. Will definitely try this method
Thank you so much I was given a few synthetic wigs for my drag and I’ve been very curious on how to wash them. Thank you!
GREAT INFORMATION always good JOB who knew pods. Thanks💛
Thanks I'm just now wearing wigs I've always loved them do now I'm wearing them every day tks for showing me how to clean them
I had such a hard time brushing out my hair. It didn't feel very smooth after after I washed it and some parts were rougher than others. Hoping after it dries and gets brushed again it will feel better
It's really old like really old old.. Like 5 months. What?! That's old?
Eddie Zarifovic ive had one for 3 years..😂😂😂😂
*laughs in cosplayer and has had wigs for over four years*
Try a year
In synthetic years that's old
For a synthetic one kinda
Love synthetic wigs .
Omg thank you sooo much cause my mom just be throwing wigs out
Hello my name is Stephanie and I'm new to wearing wigs due to I over processed and bleached my hair and had to cut it off shore in your thing I'm able to do right now is straightening it so I figured I would get a few wigs and start wearing them and I came across your videos and you've taught me a lot and just a little bit of time I've watched them and I hope to continuously follow you cuz like I said I'm new to all days and don't want to end up messing my wig up
so happy I can help my love. sending you love xo
I tried this and it worked like a charm, Thanks so much for the tip!!!!!😅
GUUUUUURL we have the exact same tattoo in the exact same spot ❤️🥹
Ty ty love. I would’ve messed up and used shampoo/conditioner. Definitely gonna try this and get my wigs right🥰
you're welcome love xo
What a sweet voice you have.... and I was wondering when you mentioned Gain if Woolite would work as well.... perhaps so... I'll read further... but thank you so much great video.
You gained a new subscriber for sure !
Found this gem of a video right after I got home drop the hair store to buy wig shampoo 🤦♀️
Thank you. You have saved me and my wigs.you rock
I cosplay and im new to synthetic wigs thank you so much! This helped me a lot! ❤ you have a new subscriber
Great video. Thank you for sharing. You’ve given me some great tips.
you're welcome! so happy it was helpful.
Thank you I’m washing my wigs now you’re the best 💙
Cannot wait to try this!! What curly wig are you wearing in this video?!
Thank you for this tutorial. I haven't seen these steps. I liked and subscribed. Lovely presentation! 🤗
Thank you so much for this video now I need you to show me a curly wig how do you work with them do you brush them out while wet and how do you get the curls back what kind of curlers do you use
I will love xo
✨Thanks for the pointers!! I’ll definitely use them for my next washing!!✨
I will try this today! This is my first time. I hope it will work. 🙏🏻
So what do you do if your wig becomes too stiff? Asking for a friend. 👀😂
Did you use detergent and fabric softener at the same time?
I'm just watching this before my wig gets here because I don't want anything chemical in my hair when I cosplay
Also guys wash your wigs before using them you don't know what they put on them
Can I do it without softener
I been so scared to buy wigs! I have a longer one with bangs and it’s purple/grey!! I just been scared of not knowing how to wash her
Thank you so much. I tried this my wig feel and looks brand new😄
yay! so glad it helped!
About to try this right now! Thanks for the tip ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this video 🙏❤️ Should I brush out my wig before washing it?
Would it be fine to let it dry outside and if so how long does it take to dry?? (I live in 70 degrees weather btw)
as soon as the video started I heard one of my favourite songs so I trusted u straight away lmfao
omg that's love!
Thanks so much for sharing this information. ❤️ It was so helpful.
Do you have to use fabric softener too?
Thank you soooo much for this girl. I needed this
you're welcome love xo
I've never in my wig life heard of this technique 🤔
Lol
It worked fantastic! Indeed have to go easy on the softenner but honestly, you saved my wig’s lives and mine ! for real!
Has anyone tried this method for wigs with tinted lace? I used Sally Hansen tan spray to tint my lace and I'm wondering if the spray tan will color the wig fibers.
Now that was something new. I have never seen anyone use laundry detergent and fabric softener on wigs. Can I use this on my new wigs as long as they're synthetic?
First time user thanks so much cuz I used shampoo and rubbed but this looks easy thank u
I'm going to try this on my wigs
I have 2 wigs currently soaking after watching this.... I hope it works 😱🤔😁
how'd it turn out?
Destiny Taylor xo girl mines work good
Thank you so muchfor the tutorial. I'm trying this on mine.
I don’t have fabric softener can I just use my detergent for now? Thank you !❤
5 months I've had mine 23 years
Hey girl! I need advice 😭 I put coconut oil in a wig to get it easier it brush through but I think I’ve ruined it. Would this still work for an oilllllyyyyy wig?
This process will definitely help!
@@TheMamaGreen it worked phenomenally! Needed 2 washes but it’s brand new and smells so good! Thank you so much 😭❤️
If your wigs are needing to have steam used on them should you do it before or after? Does anybody know!?
