I have been wearing wigs for about 7 years and have yet to find a shampoo and conditioner that works well on my wigs. I used to wear synthetic wigs and i used Revlon or Paula Young wig shampoo for them and it worked ok but the hairs would become very frizzy after about 2 months where you could tell i was wearing a wig. Also they smelled really bad. I have been wearing human hair for about 5 years and have tried multiple products, including those. I have tried directly applying the shampoo and conditioner to the hair and soaking it and they both have similar results.

I work in fast food and i know this takes a toll on my wigs. Recently, i bought a separate wig for work and one for normal wear but I'm still having the same problems. My one i use for work has gotten so bad that i cant wear it anymore because i feel like i have to brush it every ten minutes so it doesnt tangle or poof. I soak them normally twice a week with a shampoo from jennyshairsence.com and then apply rinse out conditioner. It feels great and smooth until it dries and becomes poofy and tangles. Straightening it usually helps a little but not for long. This is the best product i have used so far.

I have tried ion for greasy hair to help with getting the oils from work out of it and it dried it out too much even when i would put a good conditioner on there for about 10 minutes afterwords. Also i have tried Pantene for all hair types and have seen no difference with that.

I end up buying new wigs about every 3-4 months and i do not have the money to buy new ones so often.

Is this only a problem because I work in fast food or is this normal?
Is there any trustworthy sites that i can buy good quality wigs for less?

Thanks for any help! :)
