The Best Human Hair Wig Shampoo and Conditioner
Caring for your human hair wig or topper with high-quality products is essential to helping your investment look full, fresh, and healthy for the long term. Whether you’re investing in a human hair wig for medical reasons, or a topper to combat thinning hair, caring for your human hair wig as though it’s your own hair is key to a realistic look. Here’s everything you need to know about the best products for human hair wigs, and how to use them.
The Best Shampoo and Conditioner for Coloured Hair: Maintaining the Vibrancy of Human Hair Wigs
Most human hair wigs are coloured, and unlike the human hair you’re born with, the hair strands won't be growing, so you will need extra love and care to nurture and nourish each stand for the life of your wig. The best way? Use high-quality shampoo and conditioner to help preserve your wig’s integrity. Instead of harsh wig-specific products, these human-hair products are specifically formulated to prevent the hair from drying out, which helps to protect each strand of hair in your wig.
Look for shampoos and conditioners that are certified Non-Tocic and Made Safe, and are enriched with hydrating ingredients like Jojoba oil and Kakadu Plum. These ingredients help to shield the hair from environmental damage while preserving its natural colour. Using natural products crafted from powerful, effective botanicals will extend the life of your human hair wig and keep it looking salon-fresh.
Best Hair Conditioner for Dry Hair: Reviving Your Wig’s Softness and Shine
Dryness is a common issue for both natural and synthetic wigs, making the best hair conditioner for dry hair an essential part of your wig care routine. Using treatment conditioners with hydrating ingredients like silk and Lilly Pilly can deeply moisturise the hair strands, restoring the softness and natural shine. Applying a lightweight treatment conditioner after every wash ensures that your wig remains supple and easy to style, reducing the risk of tangling and breakage.
Is a Treatment the Same as a Conditioner? Understanding the Differences for Optimal Wig Care
When caring for human hair wigs, understanding the difference between treatment conditioners and standard conditioners is crucial. Both aim to improve the health of the hair, however:
Treatment Conditioners for wig care
Treatment conditioners are more intensive and are designed to repair and strengthen extremely damaged hair with ingredients that help to rebuild the strands. They’re the gold standard for human hair, making them the perfect choice for human hair wigs as they add additional nourishment that your wig isn’t getting from a human scalp.
Conditioners for wig care
Standard conditioners, on the other hand, provide daily moisture and detangling benefits. If you’re already using a treatment conditioner on your human hair wig, you don’t need to use a conditioner as well.
Can a treatment conditioner rejuvenate a dry human hair wig?
Yes, as long as you use a high quality product. Many store-bought hair masks and treatments don’t actually penetrate the hair strands, so they won’t help rejuvenate your wig. Instead, look for exceptional, natural products like V&M Treatment Conditioner. In fact, V&M Spa founder Victoria has first-hand experience effectively rejuvenating human hair wigs with her treatment conditioner, and the results are impressive:
“When I first started working with human hair wigs in 2012, they were quite new in Australia. The quality was not great, and the company I was working with imported human hair wigs, which had been highly treated.
One of the main problems clients saw in their wigs in Australia was that the root area and the top layers of the wig would lighten in the weeks after purchase. This could get so bad that sometimes the roots of the wig developed golden or orange tones, especially in Summer, and were prone to breaking and snapping in these areas.
I quickly realised the hair was losing moisture in these areas due to the sun hitting the same spot day in and day out, as the hair was not growing as bio hair would.
Our Treatment Conditioner had just finished a long three and a half years in research and development, and I believed it would be perfect to help these colour-treated wigs feel softer and more natural.
Using our V&M Spa Treatment Conditioner teamed with our Hydrating Shampoo worked perfectly to rehydrate the hair. This left wigs and toppers less brittle and dry and kept the colour from fading, especially on the top area of the wig.”
Our award-winning Hydrating Shampoo is a lightweight, moisture-rich formula designed to gently cleanse while deeply hydrating the hair and scalp. Formulated and made in Australia, it restores softness, smooths flyaways, and rebalances hair that feels depleted or dry.
Crafted with native Australian plant extracts including Kakadu Plum and antioxidant-rich olive leaf, the formula nourishes without heaviness—leaving hair light, calm, and quietly luminous.
Part of our eco-positive haircare ritual, this shampoo was named Winner of the 2023 Spa & Wellness Awards and the 2024 Organic Beauty Awards. Like all V&M SPA formulas, it is crafted for efficacy, simplicity, and care.

Choosing the Right Treatment Conditioner for Extremely Damaged Hair: Restoring Health and Vitality to Human Hair Wigs.
“When we developed our Treatment Conditioner, it was designed to hydrate my client’s hair and help prevent it from splitting. So, it was a natural fit for our award-winning product to be used on natural hair wigs,” said Victoria.
Sold through Australia’s leading wig boutique, The Beautiful Hair Boutique (BHB) in Sydney’s Neutral Bay and Queensland’s Burleigh Heads, BHB’s clients have been enjoying using V&M Spa’s products since they opened their doors in 2016. The quality of their human hair wigs is exceptional, and teamed with our products, clients are able to achieve hydrated wigs for months after investing in their human hair wigs.”
