It’s not unusual for the bangs on your wig to get a little bit greasy and grubby while the rest of the hair looks fine. This can be for a number of reasons.

The bangs are closest to your forehead, where they can pick up oils from your skin. This is also the part of your head that gets the most attention when you are fussing with it to get it to look just right. If you have small children or grandchildren, they may rub their sticky little fingers through this part of your head when they are giving you one of their lovely little cuddles.

So, you’ve decided this is the natural hair wigs you want to wear today. You haven’t got time to wash the whole thing and, even if you had the time, you don’t want to wash it unnecessarily. One way to avoid having this problem to begin with is to have a wig with detachable bangs. If that is not an option, here’s what you can do.

Normal Wash

One way to get a quick result is to perform your normal washing routine with shampoo, taking care only to get the bangs wet. This takes less time than washing the whole piece. Your bangs will dry quickly.

Dry Shampoo

If it is a human hair wig, any dry shampoo will work. You can either spray it on your hands and work it through the hair or you can spray it directly onto the bangs. No dry shampoo? With real hair, you can get away with using baby powder. If you have a mens wig you may want to give the product a test run before you need to use it in anger in a hurry. This is because some people have had mixed results with dry shampoo. Kloraine and Batiste are good recommendations.
