Wearing synthetic wigs should feel simple — but if no one shows you the ropes, it’s easy to get overwhelmed or end up disappointed. At BB, we’re all about making luxury-quality wigs effortless from day one.
In this post, I’m sharing the top mistakes I see people make with synthetic wigs — and how you can avoid them so your wig looks better and lasts longer.
✅ Mistake 1: Using the Wrong Tools
Brushing your wig like it’s your natural hair is a fast track to frizz.
What to do instead:
Use a wide-tooth comb or a wig-friendly brush, starting at the ends and working your way up to avoid pulling or damaging the fibers.
✅ Mistake 2: Overusing Heat
Not all synthetic wigs are heat-safe — and even heat-friendly fibers have their limits.
What to do instead:
Keep heat tools under 180°C and avoid applying direct pressure with flat irons or curling tools. Always use heat sparingly and with intention.
✅ Mistake 3: Skipping the Customization
Straight out of the pack doesn’t always mean ready to wear.
What to do instead:
Trim the lace, add powder to the parting, and lightly pluck or shape the hairline to create a more natural, personalised look — even small tweaks make a big difference.
✅ Mistake 4: Not Storing It Properly
Throwing your wig on the dresser or cramming it into a drawer will shorten its lifespan.
What to do instead:
Store it on a wig stand or inside a satin bag when not in use to preserve its shape and prevent tangling.
✅ Mistake 5: Expecting Too Much from Low-Quality Wigs
Not all synthetic wigs are created equal — and cheap, low-grade fibers often lead to disappointment.
What to do instead:
Choose premium synthetic wigs (like BB’s) made with high-quality fibers, realistic lace, and pre-set styles that mimic the look and feel of human hair — without the heavy price tag or high maintenance. Quality matters.
Avoiding these common mistakes will keep your synthetic wig looking fresh, feeling soft, and giving you the confidence to show up effortlessly — every single day.
