Cleanse is the shampoo HairUWear makes for the wigs it sells under the Raquel Welch, Gabor, Hairdo and Kim Kimble names, so it is the natural match if your wig came from one of those lines. HairUWear describes it as a pH balanced shampoo that gives weightless moisture and shine, cleans away styling product buildup and neutralizes odors from wear with a light fragrance. It is specially formulated for synthetic hair, and HairUWear says its care products contain no animal products and involve no animal testing. At $10.00 for a 3.4 fl oz bottle at Best Wig Outlet, it is the cheapest bottle on this list, though not the cheapest per ounce. The weak spot is transparency: the product page does not list ingredients or say whether it is sulfate-free, so label readers may prefer Fiber Love or BeautiMark Renew.
