If you live in Utah, you already know the dry air can be brutal on your hair and skin. But did you know that your human hair wig needs protection from our arid climate too?
At JL Wig Consulting, Utah’s trusted source for high-quality human hair wigs, one of the biggest mistakes we see new wig wearers make is not hydrating their wig properly. Just like natural hair, human hair wigs can become dry, brittle, and frizzy without proper care, especially in places like Utah, where the air lacks moisture almost year-round.
In this post, we’ll break down why using a hydrating oil or serum is essential and how Utah women can keep their wigs soft, shiny, and long-lasting.
Why Human Hair Wigs Need Moisture
Unlike the hair on your head, your wig isn’t connected to your scalp. That means it doesn’t get natural oils from your skin to help keep it soft, supple, and protected. Over time, your human hair wig may start to feel dry if not properly maintained.
Whether you're shopping for premium wigs in Utah or already own one, understanding how to care for your piece in this environment is key to maintaining its beauty and longevity.
What dry air does to your wig:
Pulls moisture from the hair strands
Causes tangling and static buildup
Makes the hair more prone to breakage
Dulls shine and reduces softness
The Solution: Hydrating Oils & Serums
A high-quality hydrating oil or serum is one of the most effective ways to protect your human hair wig from Utah’s dry air. These products lock in moisture, smooth the cuticle, and add a healthy, natural-looking shine.
Look for products that are:
Lightweight and non-greasy
Free from heavy silicones and alcohol
Designed for human hair wigs or extensions
Ingredients to love: Argan oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, and heat protectants
How to use it: Apply a small amount to the mid-lengths and ends of your wig after styling or washing. Avoid the roots or cap area to prevent buildup and loosening hand-tied knots. A few drops go a long way!
Local Tip: Utah’s Seasons Demand Extra Care
From our harsh winter winds to dry summer heat, Utah’s weather can take a toll on even the best human hair wigs. We recommend using a hydrating serum at least 2–3 times per week, and even more frequently during winter or after sun exposure in summer.
Bonus tip: Use a humidifier at night—your wig (and your skin!) will thank you.

A Message From The Wig Expert:
"After trying all sorts of different oils and serums, I have found my favorite product to use on human hair wigs and toppers! LUSTER SERUM by BeautiMark is not only clean, lightweight, and non-greasy, It smells amazing and makes my wigs feel softer. I have even found success using it on my lower-quality human hair pieces. It takes the straw-like feel away and helps prevent tangling on them!"
