Doll wigs can easily become messy or tangled when they are not stored properly, especially longer styles. Fortunately, keeping them neat does not require a complicated routine.
Here is a simple way to prepare and store a doll wig when you are not using it.

A Simple Wig Storage Routine
This short demonstration shows how to brush, gather and store a doll wig before putting it away.
Step 01
Gently Brush the Wig
Before putting the wig away, gently brush through the hair to make sure it is smooth and tidy.
Start from the roots and brush toward the ends, following the natural direction of the hair. Use gentle, controlled strokes and avoid pulling too hard, especially if you encounter a tangled section.
The goal is simply to straighten and organize the strands before storage.
Keep It Gentle
Avoid aggressive brushing or pulling through resistance. Work slowly and keep the hair moving in its natural direction.
Step 02
Put the Wig Into a Hair Net
Once the wig has been brushed, carefully place a hair net over it.
The hair net helps keep the strands gathered together so they are less likely to spread out or become tangled while the wig is being stored.
For a longer wig, guide the hair into the net gradually and keep the strands lying in their natural direction rather than pushing them in randomly.
Step 03
Gather the Length Gently
After the wig is inside the hair net, gently arrange the longer section of hair so that it stays compact and tidy.
There is no need to tightly twist, fold, or compress the wig. Simply follow the natural direction of the hair and gather it carefully.
This helps prevent the ends from moving around too much during storage.
Step 04
Place the Wig Into a Storage Bag
The protected wig can then be placed inside a clean storage bag.
Try to keep the wig lying naturally inside the bag rather than pressing it into a very small space. The bag helps keep the wig together and protects it from dust while it is not being used.
If you have several wigs, you can also keep each one in its own bag so they do not rub against or become mixed up with each other.

A Simple Habit for Easier Doll Styling
Make the Next Styling Session Easier
Wig storage does not have to be complicated.
Taking a little time to brush the hair from root to tip, secure it with a hair net, and place it neatly into a storage bag can make your next styling session much easier.
When you are ready to use the wig again, simply take it out carefully, remove the hair net, gently brush it into shape, and it is ready for your doll’s next look.
