Proper storage of wigs and accessories is essential to maintain their shape, color, and longevity, especially in Finland’s seasonal humidity and temperature changes. Start with a clean, dry space away from heat sources. Wigs should be detangled gently, ideally while laying them flat, then stored on a wig stand or wrapped in a breathable fabric to prevent tangling and frizz. Labeling can help you track which wig belongs to which head or style, simplifying rotation.
Clothing and small accessories benefit from dedicated containers or drawers with transparent lids so you can see items without handling them excessively. Use acid-free tissue paper to preserve fabrics and prevent crease marks. For long-term storage, consider climate-controlled cabinets to minimize humidity swings that can lead to mold or material degradation. In winter, indoor heating can dry out materials, so occasional checks for dryness and static buildup are wise.
Dust protection matters, too. A covered bin or garment bag can shield wigs from dust while not in use. If you store items in a basement or attic, ensure the space is not prone to dampness or freezing temperatures, which can affect adhesives and finishes. Regular maintenance—refolding, re-washing when needed, and re-securing wigs on stands—keeps the collection in good condition through Finland’s varied seasons.
