In Nairobi, the modern woman is constantly on the move—whether you’re juggling a 9-to-5, running a business, attending social events, or managing family life. In the midst of all that hustle, you still want to look polished and presentable every single day. Wigs have become a go-to solution for effortlessly slaying your look without spending hours at the salon.
But here’s the thing: a wig is not just an accessory—it’s an investment. Whether you’re rocking a luxurious human hair wig, a stylish semi-human unit, or a braided crochet cap, maintaining your wig is essential to keep it looking fabulous.
If you’re in Nairobi and need easy, effective, and time-saving wig care tips—this article is your go-to guide.
1. Store Your Wig Like the Crown It Is 
After a long day navigating the city, the temptation to toss your wig onto the nearest chair is real. But resist it. Poor storage leads to tangling, loss of shape, and even damage.
Quick Tip:
Use a wig stand, mannequin head, or even a hook behind your wardrobe door to keep the wig upright and maintain its structure.
Browse our Human Hair Wigs at Crown & Step—they’re made to last with proper care.
2. Moisture is Your Wig’s Best Friend (But Not Too Much)
Nairobi’s climate can be dry one week and humid the next. Human hair wigs especially need hydration, just like your natural hair.
Use a light leave-in conditioner or hydrating wig spray (alcohol-free) to keep the hair soft and shiny.
Pro Tip:
For semi-human and synthetic wigs, spray lightly and avoid heavy creams or oils—they can weigh the strands down and reduce lifespan.
We offer an easy-care range of semi-human wigs that retain their shape with minimal maintenance.
3. Wash Like a Pro—But Not Too Often
Washing your wig too frequently can strip it of its natural look and feel. A general rule is:
-
Every 1–2 weeks for daily-use wigs
-
Every 2–4 weeks for occasional use
Always use sulfate-free shampoo and lukewarm water. Gently detangle the wig with a wide-tooth comb before washing.
Don’t scrub or twist. Just dip, soak, and comb through while submerged.
4. Detangle Gently, Especially Before Bed
Even the most premium wigs can tangle with regular wear. Before storing or going to bed:
-
Use a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush starting from the ends upward.
-
For curly wigs, use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to retain curl definition.
Our premium human hair wigs are designed for easy detangling and long-term use.
5. Keep Heat Styling Minimal (Unless It’s Heat-Friendly Hair)
For those with human hair wigs, you can curl, straighten, or blow-dry—but sparingly. Nairobi’s dust and pollution already expose hair to stress, so try not to overdo it.
For semi-human wigs, always check the label for heat-resistance. If unsure, air-dry and style with fingers or flexi rods instead.
6. Protect Your Wig While Sleeping
If you’re wearing a braided cap or crochet wig overnight:
-
Use a satin bonnet or silk scarf to reduce friction.
-
This preserves the style and reduces frizz.
Our collection of braided and crochet wigs includes protective styles perfect for extended wear—low-maintenance and stylish for busy Nairobi lifestyles.
7. Rotate Your Wigs—Don’t Wear One Too Long
Even the best wigs need a break. Wearing the same wig daily can lead to faster wear and tear. Having at least two or three in rotation allows each unit to rest and air out.

8. Keep a Wig Emergency Kit in Your Bag
If you’re always on the move in Nairobi—CBD traffic, office meetings, random power outages at salons—be prepared.
Your kit should include:
-
A mini comb
-
Small bottle of wig spray
-
Bobby pins
-
Edge brush and gel
Trust us, this kit is a lifesaver for last-minute touch-ups.
9. Visit a Wig Technician When Needed
Wigs need professional care just like your real hair. If the lace is lifting, the cap is loose, or it’s lost shape—consider getting it revived.
Many salons in Nairobi now offer wig spa services, lace replacement, and restyling. This adds months of wear time to your investment.
10. Shopping for the Right Wig Is Half the Battle—Start Smart
Not all wigs are created equal. A high-quality wig saves you time, effort, and money in the long run.
