Help your wig retain moisture
During the winter months, you take care to apply a high-intensity moisturizing lotion to your skin, and you shouldn't ignore the damage that dry weather can do to your wig. The weather this time of year can cause wigs to lose moisture, which can make the human hair on your wig more brittle and prone to breakage.
What you should do:
Whenever you do a cleaning of your wig, you should remember that it's time to take care of your wig. In fact, it is very necessary to keep your wig soft during the cleaning session, and we should increase our efforts in winter.
We can follow the three steps of hair care - shampoo - condition.
First, apply natural oil to your wig, cover it with a shower cap and leave the cap on for 15-20 minutes. This will make your wig very smooth, even with tangles, and this step helps minimize the risk of hair loss. Next, wash your wig with a moisturizing shampoo. You should be careful not to rub the wig too hard.
Once you have washed the shampoo out, apply a moisturizing conditioner to your hair. Let the conditioner sit for 5 minutes, then rinse the conditioner. It is generally a more complete process, but if you find yourself with a deeper frizz, you can also apply a deep conditioner to your wig after you wash and play with it, put on a shower cap, and let the conditioner soak in for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Air dry before freeze drying
After you have completed the wig cleaning process, the next thing you should focus on is how to get your wig dry.

Heated styling tools will remove the moisture from your wig, which really isn't a wise choice if you're planning to do this in the winter. So instead of using a hair dryer, let your wig air dry in the winter.
