Always store your human hair wig on a wig stand or mannequin away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight when you’re not using your wig. Wig stands help in keeping your wig from tangling & storing properly. If you do not use your wig often, you may also store her in the original satin bag and box away from humidity.
