Beginner mistakes can shorten the lifespan of a wig quickly, even when the hair itself is high quality. Understanding how to properly care for your unit from day one helps protect your investment and keeps your Kingdom Krowns wig looking soft, natural, and luxurious over time.
One of the most common mistakes beginners make is overwashing their wig. Unlike natural hair, wigs do not receive natural oils from the scalp, so washing too often strips the hair of moisture and leads to dryness and tangling. A Kingdom Krowns premium virgin human hair wig only needs to be washed when there is product buildup or after several wears. Using a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and following with a deep conditioner helps preserve softness and shine.
Another major mistake is using excessive heat or styling tools without protection. Flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers can damage the cuticle if used incorrectly. Always apply a heat protectant before styling and keep temperatures moderate. Kingdom Krowns virgin hair is heat styling safe, but controlled heat and minimal passes prevent unnecessary wear and help the hair maintain its natural movement.
Improper detangling is another issue that leads to shedding and breakage. Brushing from the roots down causes unnecessary stress on the hair and lace. Always detangle from the ends upward using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers, especially when the hair is dry or textured. Being gentle protects both the strands and the lace construction.
Many beginners also neglect proper storage, which can cause matting and lace damage. Tossing a wig onto a dresser or leaving it exposed to dust and friction shortens its lifespan. When not in use, store your unit in your Kingdom Krowns XL storage bag to protect the hair, preserve the lace, and maintain the wig’s shape.
Using heavy or incorrect products is another mistake that affects wig quality. Alcohol-based sprays, thick oils, and waxes weigh the hair down and cause buildup. Kingdom Krowns wigs perform best with lightweight, moisturizing products that enhance shine without stiffness. Less product allows the hair to move naturally and look more realistic
