How to Stop Your 613 Wig From Drying Out & Turning Brassy
613 blonde wigs are stunning, bright, and perfect for creating a classic European blonde look — but they also require more care than any other color. Because 613 hair has been highly processed, it tends to:
- Dry out faster
- Turn brassy or yellowish
- Lose shine
- Become frizzy or tangled
This guide explains why 613 wigs dry out, how to prevent brassiness, and the exact care routine top stylists recommend for long-lasting results.
Why 613 Wigs Become Dry or Brassy
To achieve a bright 613 shade, hair must go through a heavy bleaching process. Even the highest-quality human hair loses moisture and cuticle integrity during this process.
Common causes include:
- Overexposure to heat tools
- Sunlight and UV damage
- Hard water minerals
- Using the wrong shampoo/conditioner
- Lack of deep hydration
Once the cuticle is weakened, the color easily shifts from platinum blonde to warm yellow tones.
How to Stop Your 613 Wig From Drying Out
1. Use a sulfate-free, wig-safe shampoo
Sulfates strip moisture and make the hair dry out faster. Always choose products made specifically for human hair wigs.
2. Deep condition after every 2–3 wears
613 wigs need far more moisture than darker colors. Apply a rich deep conditioner, leave it for 15–20 minutes, and rinse with cool water.
3. Limit heat styling
Only use heat at 150–170°C (300–340°F). 613 hair burns and dries out easily. Always apply a heat protectant.
4. Let the wig air-dry whenever possible
Blow-drying removes moisture quickly and increases frizz. Pat gently with a towel, then let it dry naturally.
5. Apply lightweight hair oil
Argan oil or camellia oil helps lock in moisture and restore shine without weighing the hair down.
How to Prevent Your 613 Wig From Turning Brassy
1. Use purple shampoo — but carefully
Purple shampoo removes yellow tones, but if left too long, it can turn the hair gray or purple. For wigs, leave it for 1–2 minutes only.
2. Avoid sun exposure
UV rays cause brassiness. When not wearing the wig, keep it stored in a cool, dark place.
3. Wash with filtered or soft water
Hard water contains minerals that add yellow tones. Using a shower filter helps keep 613 hair bright.
4. Avoid styling products with yellow tint
Some oils or creams are slightly yellow and can discolor the wig over time. Use clear or white products.

FAQ
1. Why does my 613 wig get dry so quickly?
Because 613 hair undergoes heavy bleaching, the cuticles are more open and lose moisture faster than natural-color hair.
2. What products help keep a 613 wig moisturized?
Use sulfate-free shampoo, deep-conditioning masks, lightweight argan oil, and UV protectant spray.
3. How often should I wash a 613 wig?
Every 10–15 wears or when it feels dry. Over-washing will accelerate dryness.
4. How do I prevent my 613 wig from turning brassy?
Avoid sun exposure, chlorine, hard water, and use purple toning shampoo sparingly.
5. Can I use heat styling tools on a 613 wig?
Yes, but keep temperature under 160–180°C and always use heat protectant.
6. Does purple shampoo damage 613 wigs?
Overuse can dry out the hair. Only apply it for 3–5 minutes when the color becomes slightly yellow.
7. What is the best daily care routine for 613 wigs?
Light brushing, small amount of oil on mid-lengths, avoid friction, and store it on a mannequin head.
