Care of Doll Wigs
Most Doll Wigs are a synthetic material.
The hair fibers are affixed to a nylon "cap" and can come loose if combed too harshly.
Most wigs will get mussed slightly when you're moving them from one place to another.
Always carry a comb and gently fix any out-of-place hair.
Because the wigs are made of a synthetic fiber, they are not heat resistant!
If you want to curl any of the straight wigs, DO NOT use a curling iron, even at a low temperature.
You could very easily melt the fibers. Instead, use damp sponge rollers and allow the wig and rollers to dry completely before removing.
If something gets on the wig (pen, marker, candy from sticky hands, etc), you can use warm water and a mild soap and very carefully hand-wash just the area where the damage is located.

I did a search on the web for wig care, and dry feeling hair, I found some helpful answers most seem to be what I had expected.
I had worn a wig during my Chemo and I was able to wash it with mild shampoo and mine was a synthetic. I just had to be very careful not to be near heat or steam as it fried the ends and yes it singed the ends of my bangs while cooking.
I would wash it in a warm /cool temp about once a week and it was ok.
Hope this helps

What is Synthetic Mohair?
Synthetic mohair is a man-made mohair, is different from Angola mohair
Which is natural, wild animal's wool. Synthetic mohair is a synthetic fiber.
But it's the same character with the mohair: very soft and obedient. It's
suitable for small Size doll wig. Compare with the Mohair It has the
advantage that the length is not restricted, can be infinitely long.
What is Mohair?
Mohair refers to a silk-like fabric or yarn which made of the hair of the docile goat from Angora region. One of this specific goat is able to produce 11 to 17 pounds of mohair in a year. Shearing is done on a clean swept floor with intensive care taken to keep the hair clean and free from debris.
Essentially, this mohair is shorn from the goat without harming the animal. Shearing is done only twice a year, in the spring and fall, for the reason that the weather is not too chilly-cold for this goat.
As the characteristic of this mohair is so soft and its texture which resembles fine human hair, mohair is extremely perfect in making high quality cap-wig.
Also, much longer is much more expensive, because there is not more than 1% per bundle of raw mohair is longer than 6.
