It’s difficult to top the natural and effortless look that human hair wigs offer, which is why they make a popular choice of wig. For many wig wearers, a human hair wig is an investment; you’ll want to wear it and look fabulous time and time again. But, over time, your wig will inevitably become dry and stiff, which is why we want to share our advice on how to make a human hair wig soft again.
It’s super important to understand how to repair a damaged wig. So, in this post, we’ll explain the main reasons why human hair wigs become dry and give you tips on how to restore a human hair wig that has lost its bounce.
Before we dive into how to revive a human hair wig, we’re going to explain why human hair wigs become dry in the first place.
With natural hair, your scalp produces a natural oil called sebum which helps to keep natural hair moisturised. Natural oils are what human hair wigs unavoidably lack, which causes them to become dry over time, even with the best human hair wig care.
However, there are additional factors that contribute to human hair wigs becoming dry and stiff and can lead to needing to restore a wig. These factors are:
If you reduce your human hair wig’s exposure to these elements, you’ll be able to keep it moisturised, full of body and wearable for a longer time.
Another point to note is that wearing your human hair wig to bed can cause it to dry out and become damaged more quickly. It’s important to keep your wig free of tangles, when possible, to maintain its condition, so we advise against sleeping in your wig. If you have cotton pillowcases and bedding, they will dry out your human hair wig and cause unnecessary friction. However if you are sleeping with your wig then our Satin Night Cap is a must.
If your human hair wig is starting to feel brittle and stiff, then there’s no need to worry. Simply follow our five steps on how to revive a human hair wig below, to get your wig feeling soft and fabulous again.
Step 1: Pre-Wash Your Wig with a Natural Oil
Our ‘how to revive a human hair wig’ guide is all about injecting some much-needed moisture. So, it makes sense that the first step to restore a wig is to coat your wig with a conditioning treatment.
We recommend gently applying a natural oil all over your human hair wig. The muk Spa Argan Oil Repair Mask will work excellently here to restore moisture and leave your wig feeling and smelling incredible.
You’ll want to leave your product of choice to moisturise your wig for about 30 minutes under a shower cap.
Step 2: Shampoo Your Wig
The next step in how to restore a wig is to wash your wig, making sure to rinse out all of the pre-wash oil. When washing, don’t forget to keep the water running in the same direction as the hair to prevent tangling.
Then, carefully lather your wig with a moisturising human hair wig shampoo, such as our muk muk Spa Argan Oil Repair Shampoo.
Step 3: Moisturise Your Wig
After rinsing out all of your moisturising shampoo, you’ll need to apply some moisturising conditioner, like our muk Spa Argan Oil Repair Conditioner. Cover your wig thoroughly with the conditioner, bringing it from the front of the wig right to the tips.
When moisturising with conditioner to restore a wig, you should pay particular attention to the nape and tips of your human hair wig and apply extra conditioner here. When a human hair wig becomes dry and loses its bounce, it’s often most noticeable in these areas. So, focusing on the nape and tips will help you with how to revive a human hair wig.
Let the moisturising conditioner sit and work its magic for three to five minutes before thoroughly rinsing it out.
Tangles will likely have formed during this step, so remove them with care. To do this, gently run a comb or your finger through your wig until the knots are removed.
Step 4: Deep Condition Your Wig
Next up in our how to restore a human hair wig guide is applying a deep conditioner to your wig. Again, you’ll want to ensure that your conditioner of choice coats the entire wig and remember to add extra product to the ends. Our top deep conditioning picks include our Deep muk 1 Minute Ultra Soft Treatment and our muk Spa Argan Oil Repair Mask.
Step 5: Dry Your Wig
Once you’ve rinsed out all of your product, you need to dry your human hair wig. It’s important to take care when drying your wig to avoid damaging it and to avoid creating tangles.
Gently squeeze your wig to wring out excess water before laying your wig onto a dry towel. Then, cover the wig with the other half of your towel, and gently press out excess water.
Finally, place your wig on a wig stand for it to air dry, which is the safest way to dry your wig. However, if you do want to style your restored human hair wig, then you can blow-dry using low heat and a comb. Just remember to apply the Hot muk Thermal Protector to protect the hair from heat first!
There you have our 5-step guide on how to restore a human hair wig, with advice on how to revitalise your stunning, human hair wig carefully and effectively.
If you have any more questions about how to make a human hair wig soft again, please get in touch with our team of experts.
For the best results, place a shower cap over your wig once you’ve applied the deep conditioner. Shower caps help to trap heat, which improves the conditioning process. You’ll want to leave your human hair wig like this for about 15 minutes to allow the deep conditioner to revitalise your wig properly.

Extensions. Fantastic Hair Extensions, are becoming one of the leading wholesale suppliers of natural human Remy hair extensions in Brisbane, Australia. After extensive research of a number of years, our current hair range has the most superior high end hair extensions on the Australian market today.
There is a plethora of reasons why you might want to wear a wig, from medical conditions that result in hair loss or hair thinning, for a convenient change of appearance or style, to protect your own hair and scalp or maybe just for a bit of fun, but whatever your reason and whatever type of wig you are after Let’s Wiggit are on hand to meet all of your needs.

Within their collection of wigs in Brisbane you will find an extensive selection of human hair wigs, possibly the best available in Australia, with only the very finest quality Remy human hair used, and if you weren’t aware, Remy hair is human hair that still contains the follicle, allowing the hairs to be lined in the same direction, improving appearance and also allowing it to be more easily managed. With colours, lengths, styles and varying density wigs to choose from, you are sure to find your choice of superb quality human hair wig online or in the Brisbane store. Furthermore, most human hair wigs can be curled or straightened to achieve your exact preference of styling.

Will be loyal customer for sure 💕
I had an appointment today and to be completely honest my expectations were absolutely blown out of the water! The wigs, the service and the overall experience was nothing short of amazing, just like Maria herself. There needs to be more women like Maria within the beauty industry, she was so professional and knowdgeable but at the end of our session I just had to say, it was like catching up with an old friend! I had fun, we talked and laughed and shared stories... she's just someone you want to do business with!! AND THE WIGS! I can't even begin to describe the wigs! I am just so impressed. Quality, quantity, everything. I cannot praise Let's WIGgIT enough, you need to check it out yourself. Amazing. Thank you Maria!
Wow what can I say? This is the 3rd time I have been to Let's Wiggit and I must say the service and the kindness shown by the staff is second to none. The ladies will spend as much time with you as needed. You are never made to think that you are taking too long to choose your favourite wig. They help you in every way.
I have also had a friend from Victoria come up and purchase a wig as well. Personally, I have purchased 4 wigs. I have just finished chemotherapy and I am so impressed with Let's Wiggit that I have placed their business cards in the cancer centre for all to see.
Thank you so much Maria and staff. You truly made me feel special.
Maria Nieves
Store owner
I had a dream to own a business that would change lives. This is how Let's Wiggit was born and my dream became a reality! After only six months from launching and working from home, I resigned from my case management employment. The business had grown so fast the only logical thing was to focus 100% on developing and growing further. Soon after, we proudly opened our doors in our brand new store. My husband worked tirelessly and single handedly built our stunning & extensive Let's Wiggit showroom in North Lakes, Qld.
Our team consists of qualified professionals who are experts in their field. Our aim and goal is to change the lives of those who walk through our doors by giving them their confidence back. Our reviews reflect not only our professionalism but most importantly our passion and care for each individual.
