What products should I use?Updated 15 days ago
For best results, we recommend using Milk & Honey Wig Care products, as they are specifically designed to maintain the quality, softness, and lifespan of your wig.
Using the right products is essential, as standard hair products are not always suitable for wigs.
Why product choice matters
Wigs do not receive natural oils from the scalp, which means they require targeted care products to maintain:
- Softness and movement
- Hydration and manageability
- Overall longevity
Using incorrect products can lead to:
- Dryness or build-up
- Increased tangling
- Reduced lifespan
Recommended products
We recommend using products from our Milk & Honey Wig Care range, including:
- Gentle, wig-friendly shampoo
- Lightweight conditioner
- Detangling or smoothing products
- Heat protectant (for human hair wigs)
These are formulated to work with both synthetic fibres and human hair, without causing damage.
Products to avoid
We do not recommend using:
- Heavy or oil-based products
- Harsh shampoos (including sulphates)
- Standard drugstore products not designed for wigs
- Excessive styling products
These can weigh the hair down, cause build-up, or damage the fibres.
Synthetic vs human hair considerations
Synthetic wigs:
- Require minimal product use
- Should only use lightweight, wig-safe formulas
- Do not absorb products the same way as human hair
Human hair wigs:
- Can use more traditional haircare products
- Still benefit from gentle, sulphate-free formulas
- Require heat protection when styling
How much product should I use?
Less is more.
- Use small amounts
- Apply mainly to mid-lengths and ends
- Avoid the roots or lace area
Overuse of products is one of the most common causes of build-up and tangling.
Setting realistic expectations
- Using the correct products will improve longevity
- Incorrect products can affect the look and feel of your wig
- Maintenance is ongoing and requires consistency
Our recommendation
For the best results:
- Use Milk & Honey Wig Care products
- Keep your routine simple and lightweight
- Avoid mixing multiple heavy products
Important
Damage caused by using unsuitable products or product build-up is not considered a fault. Using appropriate wig care products is essential to maintaining quality.
