How To Wash A Wig Without Wig Shampoo: The 4 Best Alternatives

Aug 02,2023 | Oliver Lam

In general, wig shampoo is needed to clean wigs, but what if we don't have shampoo? How to wash a wig without wig shampoo? The options for washing a wig are shown below.

wash a wig without wig shampoo

Must understand this:

Use standard shampoos and conditioners to wash a wig (whether it's a virgin hair wig, Remy hair wig, or human hair wig). Wig shampoo should never be used on human hair wigs.

Wig shampoo is only required for synthetic wigs. When washing your artificial wig, avoid using regular hair shampoo because it is harsh on the material. The hair will become dry wig, fragile, and tangled as a result of this treatment.

1. The 4 Best Wig Shampoo Options

A wig shampoo's goal is to remove any dirt or oils that may be present. Here are some wig shampoo alternatives:

1.1 Option 1: Baking Soda

Baking Soda
Baking soda is a great substitute for wig shampoo. If your wig has absorbed any scents from cooking, cigarette smoke, or other sources, this is the finest solution. It quickly eliminates all of these scents.

●Step 1: Fill the sink with three quarts of warm water and half of the ¾ cup of baking soda.

●Step 2: Dip your wig in warm water once the baking soda has completely dissolved. Saturate it for at least 4 hours or all night.

●Step 3: Rinse your wig and gently press out the excess water before placing it on a wig stand to air dry wig.

1.2 Option 2: Using Dish Soap

Using Dish Soap

For removing oil and makeup from your wig cap, use mild dish soap.

●Step 1: Pour a little amount of mild dish soap into a sink filled with cold water.

●Step 2: Brush your wig before dipping it in the water mixture and gently pressing the soapy water through it. To keep your wig from tangling, avoid harsh handling.

●Step 3: Rinse your wig with clean, cold water after emptying the soapy water. Remove the wig and gently wring out the excess water before placing it on a wig stand to air dry the wig.

1.3 Option 3: Using Cornstarch

Using Cornstarch

cleaning synthetic wigs with cornstarch is advised since it is safe and removes odors.

●Step 1: Make sure totally dry the wig before applying cornstarch to it.

●Step 2: Set it aside for about five minutes. Brush the wig as usual after shaking out the cornstarch.

1.4 Option 4: Wash a wig with baby shampoo

Wash a wig with baby shampoo
I know I stated not to use ordinary shampoo to wash a synthetic wig, but baby shampoo is gentle and can be used if you don't have any of the other options.

●Step 1: Pour a small amount of baby shampoo into the sink's cold water.

●Step 2: Gently swish your wig in soapy water to remove debris and oil.

●Step 3: Rinse the shampoo out of your wig in a sink filled with cold water. Swish it around lightly to remove any soap residue. Then dry the wig as directed in step 3 of the aforementioned procedure.
