What is the first step in cleaning a ready-made wig?

Brushing a ready-made wig to remove surface dirt is indeed the first step in the cleaning process. This initial action helps to clear away any dust, debris, or tangles that may have accumulated on the wig's surface. It is crucial because it prepares the wig for more thorough cleaning. If you were to soak or rinse the wig without first brushing it, dirt and tangles could become further embedded in the fibers, potentially leading to damage or making it harder to clean effectively.

Brushing facilitates a more effective cleaning process, as it allows the shampoo and conditioner to penetrate the fibers more deeply in the subsequent steps. Once the surface dirt has been removed, it will be much easier to wash and condition the wig properly. This foundational step ensures the overall cleanliness and longevity of the wig.
