Can I put my wig in the dryer?
No, if possible, avoid drying your wig in a tumble dryer. Finally, even though glueless wigs are heat resistant, they cannot withstand heat or high friction during drying. Putting your wig in the dryer can also burn or melt the hair fibers, creating tons of tangles and making your wig unruly.
Why shouldn’t I put my wig in the tumble dryer?
As mentioned above, it’s best not to dry your wig in a tumble dryer. Next, we’ll explain why you should never put your wig in the tumble dryer.
1. Friction
As you know, when a hair dryer spins at high speed and moves your wig or hair strands, it creates a lot of friction. In this case, this friction will cause the wig to get tangled and lose its luster. To make matters worse, this knot is nearly impossible to remove without pulling out the hair and trimming it. Whether your wig is human hair or synthetic hair, excessive friction will damage your wig. Friction can damage the fibers of human hair or synthetic hair wigs, causing hair loss over time. It can also cause split ends, frizz, and dryness. How painful!
2. Heat
The heat generated by a tumble dryer can seriously damage your wig. Finally, wigs, including human hair and heat-resistant wigs, are not designed to withstand heat. Excessive heat can melt or burn the fibers in human hair and synthetic wigs. The heat will also deform the wig cap and tie. To protect your delicate lace front wig from irreversible damage, we highly recommend that you do not dry your wig in a tumble dryer.
