We Tried Luvme Hair's Wig Renewal System & It's The Silkiest Solution To Achieve Like-New Units
Luvme Hair has been bringing high-quality wigs to folks since 2014, and the beauty brand has now provided wig-wearers the products they need to maintain their units so they look their best and last even longer. Enter Luvme Hair's Wig Renewal System, which consists of two products (Wig Renewal Shampoo and Wig Renewal Conditioner) and retails for $49.80 (on sale for $39.90 at the time of writing).
The Wig Renewal System immediately piqued our interest because it's, as Luvme Hair points out on the products' bottles, the "#1 Soft & Shine wig hair solution" and the "1st ever" system of its kind. Customers who've used the system so far rave about it, too, with one writing on the brand's site, "After trying the wig renewal system, my wig felt so soft and was so bouncy...like the first day I got it."
I'm thankful to say my experience was similar. The Wig Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner feature coconut oil, amino acids, and cleaning agents to not only rid your wig of product build-up, sweat, and other pollutants but also keep your units' strands silky smooth. We all have bad hair and wig habits sometimes, but this system instantly seemed promising. I experienced its benefits firsthand, but you'll want to keep reading to see how well it worked for me.
Luvme Hair's Wig Renewal System takes the guesswork out of wig cleaning
To ensure I tested Luvme Hair's Wig Renewal System thoroughly and gave it its best shot at success, I tested the shampoo and conditioner on both an old, well-loved wig (read: long overdue for cleaning) and a new wig. The instructions are simple: Completely wet your unit, lather it in shampoo, rinse the shampoo out once you're satisfied with the wig's cleanliness, apply the conditioner, let it sit for five to 10 minutes, and, finally, rinse the conditioner out. You should be left with a revitalized wig.
I followed these directions to a T. I used a generous amount of shampoo on each of my two units, and I noticed it immediately started to lift foundation stains from their laces. I was also delighted to see the shampoo foam up instantly — it lathered up quicker than some human shampoos I've used. Overall, the shampoo was a joy to use. It dispersed evenly throughout the unit and rinsed out quickly and easily.
The conditioner was similarly intuitive to use, but I noticed that I needed to use a lot more of it than the shampoo, especially on my older wig that needed more TLC. It didn't seem to spread quite as much as the shampoo, but it still made the wig's strands feel moisturized and pampered. Like the shampoo, it washed out easily, and neither product left the unit feeling greasy. Both products also smell delightfully refreshing, presumably thanks to their coconut oil.
Is Luvme Hair's Wig Renewal System worth the splurge?
Answering whether Luvme Hair's Wig Renewal System is worth the splurge comes down to a few simple matters. The first is that Luvme Hair nailed a market gap with precision. The haircare market is flooded with products because everyone's hair has different needs (oily, dry, split ends — the list goes on). But all wigs can benefit from Luvme's shampoo and conditioner since wigs don't have the same variety of issues that human hair has. It's a universal system.
Another thing to consider is that the system comes with both products, but you may use one faster. In my case, I used a lot more conditioner than shampoo in my tests, so I'll end up with more bottles of shampoo sitting in my cabinet due to having to order both (and going through the conditioner faster). Finally — and perhaps this is a touch greedy — I wished the products detangled better. They do their main job — cleaning — well, but my older wig needed a lot of detangling work after its bathtime. This isn't the end of the world, but just note that you can't toss your detangling spray just because you invest in the Wig Renewal System.
Ultimately, if you can afford to buy separate wig-cleaning products for your trusty units, go for it. The Wig Renewal System is easy to use, smells good, and is a quick solution that could save you money in the long run thanks to not needing to replace your wigs as often. You may just unlock the softest hair of your life in the process.
