Drying wigs with a wig dryer instead of letting them air dry can help prevent fiber damage due to water damage over time. Below you’ll discover the range of wig dryers we offer, how to use, and additional wig accessories that can help to ensure the longevity and health of your wigs.
Wig dryers or cabinets
Wig dryers and warming cabinets are larger dryers that can accommodate several wigs at once. The wig stand is placed inside the cabinet with heat controlled by a thermostat. Enough dry time is provided to ensure the wigs are dry but without damage to the synthetic fibers or natural hair. Wig dryers and cabinets are available in different sizes, and they typically feature a fixed shelf so you can place several wig heads in the compartment for faster drying.
Here at Manhattan Wardrobe Supplies we offer two types of wig dryers,
Wig head dryers using a hair dryer
For individual wigs, a standalone wig head is an ideal choice. A wig head dryer features a heat-resistant plastic head with holes and a larger hole where a hair dryer is placed to blow air through. The wig cap is placed directly onto this stand, and air circulates, drying the wig net and wig hair. While the wig dries, using a wide-toothed comb can prevent tangles and can style the hair with rollers if needed. Wig dryers can also be used to hold the wig and store wigs when not in use.
Mounting bands
Mounting bands for wig dryers are helpful for keeping the wig in place while it is drying on the mannequin head. Mounting bands are created to withstand the heat of the dryer and helps keep the wig in place. Some wig head dryers also include a band so the wig can be placed directly onto the dryer.
Alongside wig dryers, we also have a range of other accessories and wig supplies, including the following:
