Wearing a wig is about more than just the hair—it’s also about taking care of it! Whether you’re new to wigs or a longtime wearer, having the right accessories for wigs makes all the difference. At Allusions, we’re here to help you not only find your perfect wig but also keep it looking fabulous with the best tools and accessories. Here’s a quick guide to the must-have accessories for wigs!
1. Wig Combs and Brushes
The right comb can extend the life of your wig and keep it looking natural.
- For synthetic wigs, use a wide-tooth comb or a wig-specific brush to avoid damage.
- For human hair wigs, a gentle paddle brush helps prevent tangles and breakage.
- Avoid regular hairbrushes—they can pull too hard and damage the fibers.
2. Wig Stands & Storage Solutions
Wig stands are essential for storing and styling your wig when you’re not wearing it. They can help maintain the shape of your wig and allow it to air out between wears. Choose from foldable travel stands or more durable, salon-quality versions. In addition to wig stands, consider a wig hanger, storage bag, or box to protect it from dust and tangling. Store your wig in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
3. Wig Shampoo and Conditioner
Regular shampoos can be too harsh for wigs! That’s why you need wig-specific shampoos and conditioners to keep fibers soft and clean. Use gentle, sulfate-free formulas designed for either synthetic or human hair. Clean your wig every 6–8 wears, or more often if you use styling products.
4. Wig Caps
A wig cap creates a smooth surface for your wig to sit on and helps keep it secure. It also protects your natural hair and reduces friction under the wig. Wig caps come in nylon, mesh, or bamboo—pick the one that feels best to you. They’re especially helpful for those with sensitive scalps or no natural hair.
5. Wig Grips and Adhesives
For extra security, wig grips or adhesives can keep your wig in place all day. Wig grips are soft, adjustable headbands that prevent slipping without glue. Some people prefer tapes or gentle adhesives for special occasions or longer wear. Talk to our team at Allusions—we’ll help you find the most comfortable option!
6. Heat Tools
If you wear a human hair wig, heat styling tools can help you change up your look. Flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers are all fair game—but always use heat protectant spray! For synthetic wigs, use only heat tools if the wig is labeled “heat-friendly.” Please read more about our tips to heating tools here.
