Wig Washing Service

Professional Care for Beautiful, Fresh Hair

Your human hair wig deserves proper care.

Over time, everyday wear can leave a wig with accumulated oils, styling products, dust and other residue that can affect its softness, movement and overall appearance.

HairCity's Professional Wig Washing Service provides careful cleansing, conditioning, drying and finishing designed specifically for suitable human hair wigs.

Whether your wig is part of your everyday look or something you wear occasionally, regular professional care can help keep it looking fresh, manageable and beautifully maintained.

More Than Just a Wash

Wigs require different care from natural hair.

Improper washing, aggressive handling, unsuitable products or incorrect drying can contribute to tangling, shedding, dryness and damage to delicate lace or cap construction.

HairCity takes a wig-focused approach to cleaning.

Depending on the wig and service selected, our washing process may include:

• Initial condition assessment
• Gentle detangling
• Professional cleansing
• Product and residue removal
• Conditioning
• Careful rinsing
• Appropriate drying
• Basic detangling after drying
• Finishing
• Final condition check

Our objective is to clean your wig thoroughly while handling the hair, lace and construction with appropriate care.

Human Hair Wig Washing

HairCity's Wig Washing Service is primarily designed for human hair wigs.

Human hair wigs can offer beautiful movement, styling versatility and longevity, but they still require appropriate maintenance.

The products and techniques used may vary depending on the wig's:

• Hair quality
• Texture
• Length
• Density
• Colour
• Lace construction
• Previous processing
• Overall condition

We assess the wig before treatment so that the cleaning process can be adapted where necessary.

Cleansing & Product Build-Up Removal

Styling products can gradually accumulate on a wig.

Serums, sprays, mousse, oils and other products may eventually leave the hair feeling heavy, dull or less manageable.

Professional cleansing helps remove appropriate levels of build-up and refresh the hair without relying on unnecessarily harsh washing methods.

Where there is excessive adhesive, heavy contamination or severe product accumulation, additional treatment may be required.

Conditioning

Human hair wigs do not receive natural scalp oils in the same way as growing hair.

Conditioning is therefore an important part of maintaining softness and manageability.

Following cleansing, suitable wigs receive appropriate conditioning treatment to help improve the feel and movement of the hair.

The type and intensity of conditioning required will depend on the wig's condition.

Gentle Detangling

Correct detangling is an important part of professional wig care.

HairCity carefully detangles suitable wigs using techniques intended to minimize unnecessary tension on the hair and construction.

If a wig is heavily tangled or matted, a standard Wig Washing Service may not be sufficient.

In such cases, we may recommend our Wig Revamp Service instead.

Lace Care

Lace requires particularly careful handling during cleaning.

Excessive rubbing, pulling or aggressive brushing can damage delicate lace and contribute to shedding.

Where applicable, HairCity takes additional care around:

• Lace Fronts
• Lace Closures
• Full Lace wigs
• 360 Lace wigs

The condition of the lace will be considered before the wig is washed.

Drying & Finishing

How a wig is dried can be just as important as how it is washed.

After cleansing and conditioning, the wig is dried using an appropriate method based on its construction, hair type and the service selected.

Basic finishing is then carried out to leave the wig clean, manageable and ready for the next stage of care or styling.

Does Wig Washing Include Styling?

Our standard Wig Washing Service is primarily focused on cleaning, conditioning and basic finishing.

If you want a particular finished hairstyle—such as sleek straight hair, defined curls, body waves or event styling—you may add or book our Wig Styling Service where available.

Keeping these services separate allows you to pay for the level of finishing you actually need.

Wig Washing vs Wig Revamp

Not sure which service to choose?

Choose Wig Washing if:

Your wig is generally in good condition and mainly needs professional cleansing and routine maintenance.

It may have:

• Light product build-up
• Normal oils or residue from wear
• Minor tangling
• Reduced freshness
• A general need for routine maintenance

Choose Wig Revamp if:

Your wig needs more extensive restoration.

It may be:

• Heavily tangled
• Matted
• Very dry
• Difficult to manage
• Heavily coated with product
• Neglected for an extended period
• In need of substantial restoration and restyling

If you're unsure, send us photographs of the wig or allow HairCity to assess it before service.

Wig Washing vs Wig Styling

Washing and styling serve different purposes.

Wig Washing focuses on cleanliness, conditioning and maintenance.

Wig Styling focuses on creating the finished hairstyle.

The two services can complement each other, and styling can be added after washing where required.

Wig Washing vs Wig Revamp vs Wig Styling

A simple way to decide is:

Wash it when it needs cleaning.

Revamp it when it needs restoration.

Style it when you want to change or perfect the look.

And if your wig needs more than one service, HairCity can recommend an appropriate combination.

Wigs Purchased from HairCity

Purchased your wig from HairCity?

Professional maintenance can help you protect your investment.

Instead of waiting until your wig becomes heavily tangled or difficult to manage, periodic professional washing can help keep it cleaner and easier to maintain.

HairCity can also advise on appropriate home care between professional services.

Wigs Purchased Elsewhere

HairCity may accept suitable human hair wigs purchased from other suppliers for professional washing.

Third-party wigs are subject to assessment.

Because we cannot verify the original quality, construction or previous treatment history of every wig, HairCity may recommend a different service or decline treatment where washing could create an unreasonable risk of damage.

HairCity Rental Wigs

Customers do not need to professionally wash HairCity rental wigs before returning them unless specifically instructed to do so.

Cleaning, sanitizing and preparing rental wigs between bookings forms part of HairCity's professional rental-care process.

Please follow the care and return instructions provided with your rental.

If something happens to a rental wig during your booking, contact HairCity before attempting intensive washing, chemical treatment or repair.

Coloured & Chemically Treated Wigs

Previously coloured, bleached or chemically processed wigs may require additional care.

Chemical processing can alter the strength, porosity and condition of human hair.

Please tell us about any known colour or chemical treatments before your wig is washed.

Where the hair is significantly compromised, HairCity may recommend an alternative approach or advise against treatment.

How Often Should I Have My Wig Professionally Washed?

There is no single washing schedule suitable for every wig.

How frequently your wig needs washing depends on factors such as:

• How often you wear it
• Your environment
• Styling products used
• Level of physical activity
• Hair texture
• Wig length
• Storage
• Installation method

A wig worn frequently may need cleaning more often than one worn only occasionally.

The key is to wash when necessary rather than washing excessively.

Signs Your Wig May Need Washing

It may be time for professional cleaning if your wig:

• Feels heavy from product build-up
• Has lost some of its natural movement
• Feels oily or coated
• Has accumulated styling products
• No longer feels fresh
• Has become slightly difficult to manage
• Has been worn repeatedly since its last wash

If the wig is severely tangled, dry or matted, it may need a revamp rather than a standard wash.

How Long Does Wig Washing Take?

Turnaround time depends on the wig's:

• Length
• Density
• Texture
• Condition
• Lace construction
• Level of product build-up
• Drying requirements

Additional services such as styling, restoration or specialist treatment may also affect turnaround time.

HairCity will provide an estimated completion timeframe when your service is confirmed.

If you need your wig for a particular event, please submit it well in advance.

Wig Washing Prices

Wig Washing Service pricing may vary according to factors such as wig length, density, condition and the level of care required.

Additional services—including extensive detangling, heavy adhesive removal, restoration, styling or repair—may be charged separately.

Where the wig requires work beyond a standard wash, HairCity will advise you of the recommended service and applicable additional charges before proceeding where appropriate.

Preparing Your Wig for Washing

Before submitting your wig:

• Remove personal accessories you want to keep.
• Tell us about any known colouring or chemical treatments.
• Tell us about any damage or lace problems.
• Let us know if the wig has previously been repaired.
• Advise us if you require additional styling.
• Tell us if you need the wig by a specific date.

If the wig is severely tangled, avoid aggressive brushing before bringing it in, as this may cause additional shedding or damage.

After Your Wig Is Washed

Good home care can help keep your wig looking fresh for longer.

We recommend:

• Storing your wig properly when not in use
• Detangling gently
• Using products suitable for human hair wigs
• Avoiding excessive product application
• Minimizing unnecessary heat
• Handling lace carefully
• Avoiding excessive washing
• Following any specific care guidance provided by HairCity

Protect Your Investment

A quality human hair wig is an investment.

Routine maintenance can help preserve its appearance, manageability and useful life.

Professional washing is one of the simplest ways to give your wig the care it needs before minor maintenance problems become major restoration problems.
