It has always been tricky to treat a wig as it is not the hair that grows out of your scalp but rather a glamorous hat to enhance a woman's beauty. When the wig is all balled up and a little kinky, women tend to throw it away, tuck it into a deep hole to rot or leave it there to exist.

Some salons have started offering wig-washing services, where ladies bring in their troubled hair for a satisfying treatment to restore its silk and bounce. The services often cost an arm and a leg, which demotivates ladies who can't afford them.

A woman on TikTok, Kgosatsana Bakubung, knew that many women probably could not afford luxurious hair treatment for their wigs, so she plugged them with the best thing. She shared that relaxing the hair with a hair cream could bring back the wig's shine and bounce.

A professional hairstylist, Lazaros Sumbane, shared with Briefly News that taking care of hair is easy:

“The best way of taking care of a wig is as easy as 123 than the worst. Wash and treatment help to cleanse and restore the moisture. Applying silky essential oils, it helps to protect the hair from the sun and styling tools, it also helps to keep the hair moist. Use your wide tooth comb to detangle the hair. Avoid using hush/strong chemicals and extra hot styling tools.

The use of strong products and tools like glue and all the styling aid. Keeping your hair dry can lead to breakage and tangle. Bleaching your wig with a higher oxidative agent can permanently change the hair texture, keep hair dry and promote breakage. Avoid using heavy oil and hair food because it will attract dust and bad smell.”

"I do keratin treatment; I've never relaxed my client's hair."

@TshepiRona shared her own tip:

"I put conditioner in a plastic bag for two days and use Keratin on extremely dry hair. Wash your wigs with lukewarm water and conditioner with cold water."

@Thembisile Prestige shared her experience:

"I once relaxed it, and it came out perfectly; the second time, it became an Afro."

@makeupbyfiks could not wait to use the tip:

"I have an old wig that I lost interest in. I will try that on it; thank you, babe."

@randzumabobo added:

"They also mix conditioner with oil before straightening."
