If you’re always on the lookout for the latest trends and styles, then you’ve probably caught wind of the buzz around pre-braided hair wigs. And let us tell you, it’s all for the right reasons!
We all know that braiding your hair can be a bit of a time-consuming and occasionally painful ordeal.
But with a fabulous long braided wig, you can effortlessly rock that perfect look without the hours spent at the salon or the agony of aching arms.
However, to keep turning heads with your long braided wig, maintenance is the secret sauce.
Lucky for you, we’ve compiled a list of 7 super handy tips and tricks to keep your braided wigs looking brand new for months to come!
Wash Your Long Braided Wig The Right Way
Our first tip to keep your long braided wig looking new is washing it correctly.
Unlike your natural hair, braided hair wigs should not be washed in hot water. Instead, wash with cold water to remove product dirt and oil build-ups.
It’s also recommended to use a Wig Shampoo designed for wigs instead of using your regular shampoo. The ingredients in regular shampoos can cause frizziness and that oily look that makes wigs seem flat.
- To wash your long braided wig, fill your sink with cold water and a capful of Wig Shampoo.
- Submerge and swirl the braided wig to wash it. The trick is to avoid rubbing the braided wig to ensure it looks brand new.
- Rinse the long braided wig in cold water until the water runs clear.
Pro Tip: Wash your long braided wig between 7-10 wears.
Use A Tall Wig Stand To Dry Long Braided Wigs
After giving your long wigs with braids like the Chandler Wig by Especially Yours® a good wash, gently pat it dry with a towel to get rid of extra water.
Now, here’s the fun part: grab a Tall Wig Stand and let your super-long, micro box braids with blunt bangs wig air-dry.
Find a comfy spot with good airflow, and let your wig air-dry naturally. This way, the gorgeous braids on your long braided wig can stay as fabulous as ever!
Apply A Wig Conditioner To Restore Shine
Keeping your long lace front braided wig like the Tinaye Lace Front Wig by Especially Yours® in top-notch condition is key for that always-new look.
While your gorgeous braided wig is air-drying on the handy 18-inch wig stand, catching some well-deserved TLC, spritz it with a Wig Conditioner.
This spray-on wonder not only brings back that fresh and bouncy feel but also revives the texture.
The styling options are endless once it’s all dry and ready to roll. Go for the flowy, loose look, rock those braids on braids look, or go for a chic top knot—your call!
The hand-tied monofilament lace front on the Tinaye Wig creates the illusion of hair growing straight from your scalp in a naturalistic hairline.
But wait, there’s more! This long braided wonder doesn’t just stop there—it’s all about off-the-face styling options.

Detangle Long Braided Wig With Your Fingers
Now that we’ve got the washing and conditioning down, let’s dive into detangling those fabulous braided wigs to keep them looking new!
Here’s the scoop: steer clear of detangling brushes if you want to keep those pre-styled braids looking on point.
Those brushes can unravel or frizz up your beautifully hand-braided box braids. Instead, trust your fingers to work their magic in knot removal.
The trick is to get hands-on and start separating those braids from the tips, making your way up to the roots.
It’s all about preserving the integrity of those gorgeous braids, and your fingers are the unsung heroes in this detangling tale!
