How to pack your wig correctly?

 First things first, you need to ensure that you correctly pack your wig. The last thing you want is to reach your destination with a destroyed wig. That’s why you must ensure that you correctly pack your wig. If you want to maintain your wig cap’s shape, you need to wrap the wig cap with scrunched tissue paper. You should then take your wig and brush it to get rid of any tangles. Then take a wig net and roll it over the entire wig. This process can take a while, especially if your wig is long, but you can be sure that it will prevent your wig from tangling.

Once you have done that, you can place the wig inside a bag. It is better to use a plastic or a silk bag since such a bag is friendly to your wig. These types of bags are also ideal if you don’t have adequate space. Make sure that you leave a little space to allow air inside the bag and then seal the bag to protect your wig from getting squished. A wig box can also be used, but the problem is that they take a lot of space. If you have space, you can also opt to use a wig stand. You simply place the wig on a wig stand and put it in your suitcase.

 Here are tips to help you pack and travel with your wig

1. Pack your cheap wigs inside out

It is always advisable to pack your wig inside out when traveling. This can help keep the delicate strands of your wig safe from friction, which can cause frizz. It can also keep dust and other debris from reaching your wig’s strands. Keeping your wig in a Ziploc bag can keep moisture away.

2. Pack an extra cap

Wig caps help keep your natural hair in place. However, they can snag easily, especially if you are on the go. So if possible, you need to carry one or two extra caps. This way, even if one gets damaged, you will still have another one to use.

3. Bring the right products

When packing your wig. Make sure that you pack all the necessary tools you will need. Of course, the last thing you want is to run around looking for a quick fix. That’s why you must ensure that you carry everything you will need for your hair during your travel.

What tools to take when traveling?

Here are some of the tools that you must carry with you when traveling with your wig:

1. A portable wig stand

It will also help you store your wig once you reach your destination. There are plenty of portable wig stands online that you can choose to purchase if you don’t have any.

2. A wide-tooth comb

This is also a must-have when traveling with your wig. Wigs can easily tangle if you don’t brush them thoroughly. And a tangled wig can look very ugly. So make sure that you pack a wide-tooth comb.

3. Wig shampoo and conditioner

Your wig may get dirty or become wet during your trip, so it is a good idea to wash it. It can be quite tempting to use the hotel’s 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, but it is advisable to bring your own shampoo and conditioners, which are kinder to your wig.

4. Curling iron/straightener

Of course, you want to ensure that you style your wig properly to enhance your looks in your destination. A curling iron or straightener can help you achieve that, making them must-have tools.

5. A silks scarf or pillowcase

You should also pack a silk and scarf or silk pillowcase when traveling. That’s because they can help reduce friction between your wig and pillow when sleeping, which may cause frizz. They can also help retain moisture of your hair when sleeping on a plane or at night.
