Wash the Ginger Small by Ellen Wille every 10 to 15 wears, or sooner if product buildup or odor develops. Use a sulfate-free wig shampoo in cool water, gently swishing without rubbing.

Consistent, gentle care helps preserve the synthetic fiber's texture and the style's original shape over time.

With proper care, the Ginger Small by Ellen Wille typically lasts four to six months with daily wear, or significantly longer if worn a few times per week.

Storing it on a wig stand, minimizing product use, and following a consistent washing routine are the most effective ways to extend its lifespan and keep it looking its best.
