How Do I Wash a Sex Doll Wig Without Damaging It?
A well-kept wig makes all the difference in how realistic and clean your doll looks. But synthetic wigs require special care, especially since they rest against delicate TPE or silicone.
Washing a sex doll wig the wrong way can leave it frizzy, stained, or even ruined. The good news? With a bit of patience and the right technique, you can safely clean and maintain any wig your doll wears.
Here’s how to wash a sex doll wig step-by-step, avoid common mistakes, and keep synthetic fibres soft and tangle-free for the long haul:
1. WASHING
-
Start by removing the wig from your doll’s head — this prevents water from dripping onto the body.
-
Fill a sink or bowl with cold or lukewarm water (never hot) and add a few drops of mild shampoo.
-
Gently swish the wig in the water, wetting from top to bottom inside and out. Avoid twisting, scrubbing or stretching the fibres.
2. CONDITIONING & RINSING
-
Rinse with clean water until it runs clear. If soap residue is left, your wig will be dull.
-
Hair conditioner does not work on synthetic fibers, however you can soften the wig with a small amount of diluted fabric softener or mild wool detergent, in a final rinse.
Do not use regular conditioner on synthetic fibres — it can leave an oily residue that may stain TPE or silicone surfaces.
3. BRUSHING & TOWEL DRYING
-
Once rinsed, place the wig on a towel and press gently to remove excess water. Don’t rub.
-
Brush out the wig while still damp, starting at the tips and working your way up in small sections. Use a soft-bristle wig brush or clean toothbrush.
-
Lay flat your wig in a folded towel and press with hands to remove excess water. Do not twist or wring.
4. STYLING & AIR-DRYING
-
After removing excess moisture, brush the wig gently into its style before air drying it.
-
Allow your wig to dry completely. It is best if your wig is placed over a vase or a bottle. Wig stands are great for storage, not for wet wig: Putting your wig on a stand while it is wet will stretch it. To dry completely, leave overnight.
- Most sex doll wigs are synthetic, which means low maintenance but heat-sensitive.
- To prevent tangles, tie long wigs in a loose braid before storage.
- Use a wig cap underneath to help preserve shape and reduce wear.
- Between washes, refresh with a spray bottle of water and fabric softener (1:5 ratio) and a quick brush-through.
- Never use heat to dry unless you’re certain the fibres are heat-safe.
- Avoid leaving the wig on the doll in direct sunlight, as it can fade over time.
- Store unused wigs in a clean, breathable bag or box, away from heat and dust.

Can I dye or restyle a sex doll wig?
Most sex doll wigs are made from synthetic fibres, which don’t take well to dye and can be damaged by high heat. If you’d like a different colour or style, it’s usually safer (and often cheaper) to buy a new wig designed in the shade or cut you prefer. For restyling, use low-heat tools only if the wig is specifically labelled as heat-resistant.
What’s the safest way to detangle a synthetic wig?
Always start with a soft-bristle wig brush or a clean toothbrush, and work from the tips upward in small sections. Brush gently while the wig is still slightly damp, it helps reduce friction and breakage. Never yank through tangles; instead, hold the hair above the knot to ease the tension on the fibres.
How often should I wash my doll’s wig?
That depends on how often you style or handle it. In general, washing every 8 to 10 wears is plenty for wigs that aren't exposed to heavy styling products. Over-washing can shorten the life of synthetic fibres, so spot clean between washes if needed.
