What is Wig Wash?

Wig Wash is a shampoo and conditioner brand created for human hair wigs, human hair extensions, toppers, lace wigs, sew-ins, clip-ins, wefts, and other human hair pieces.

It is made for people who wear, style, wash, or maintain human hair wigs and extensions, including at-home wearers and professional stylists.

Can I use regular shampoo on human hair wigs and extensions?

You can, but many everyday shampoos are designed for hair growing from a scalp. Human hair wigs and extensions do not receive natural scalp oils in the same way, so the formula and washing method can make a noticeable difference in softness, movement, and manageability.
