How to Revive Old or Frizzy Wigs
Even the highest-quality human hair wigs can lose their shine over time. Heat styling, dust, and improper washing can make them appear dry, tangled, or frizzy. But don’t worry — with the right care, you can revive old or frizzy wigs and make them look brand new again. At TrendyHair Vietnam, we use 100% Raw & Virgin Vietnamese Hair, which is designed to last up to 10 years with proper maintenance. Here’s your ultimate guide to restoring softness and shine.
1. How to Revive Old or Frizzy Wigs – Start with a Deep Clean
The first step in learning how to revive old or frizzy wigs is removing product buildup.
Steps:
- Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb.
- Fill a basin with lukewarm water and a small amount of sulfate-free shampoo.
- Soak the wig for 5–10 minutes, then wash it gently without twisting.
- Rinse with cool water to seal the cuticles.
💡 Tip: Avoid using hot water—it strips natural oils and causes frizz.

2. Apply a Nourishing Deep Conditioner
After cleansing, your wig needs hydration.
Use a deep conditioner or hair mask made for human hair wigs. Apply evenly and leave it for 15–20 minutes. You can cover the wig with a shower cap and apply gentle heat (like a warm towel) to help the nutrients penetrate deeper.
TrendyHair recommends using organic or silicone-free conditioners to restore smoothness without buildup.

3. Use Natural Oils for Extra Shine
Once the wig is clean and conditioned, add nourishment using lightweight oils such as argan oil, coconut oil, or TrendyHair serum. These oils help tame flyaways and bring back natural luster.
Avoid applying too much—just 2–3 drops rubbed between your palms are enough. Gently run your hands through the strands from mid-length to the ends.

4. Air Dry or Blow Dry Correctly
How you dry your wig matters. To revive old or frizzy wigs, pat them gently with a towel instead of rubbing. Let the wig air dry naturally on a wig stand to maintain its shape.
If you must use a blow dryer, always apply a heat protectant spray and use a cool or medium setting. High heat can permanently damage the strands.
5. Straighten or Curl Gently with Heat Tools
For human hair wigs, using a flat iron or curling wand can help restore the original texture.
- Always make sure the hair is completely dry.
- Apply heat protectant spray.
- Style in small sections with low to medium heat.
TrendyHair’s Raw Vietnamese Hair can withstand heat styling much better than synthetic wigs — meaning you can refresh your look anytime.
6. Store Properly to Prevent Frizz
Once revived, keep your wig in perfect condition.
- Store it on a wig stand or mannequin head.
- Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity.
- Cover it with a silk or satin bag to prevent friction and dust buildup.
Proper storage ensures your wig stays smooth and soft for the next wear.
7. Bonus: When to Seek Professional Help
If your wig has severe tangling, dryness, or lace damage, take it to a professional wig stylist. TrendyHair’s repair service can restore even the oldest wigs with our factory-level cleaning and deep conditioning methods.
