Prepare is the synthetic wig shampoo from Rene of Paris, and at $10.95 for 8 oz at Wig Studio 1 it is nearly tied with TressAllure as the cheapest full-size bottle on this list. Rene of Paris describes it as a shampoo for synthetic wigs formulated with moisture-replenishing cleansers, a combination of plant and vegetable extracts, and natural essential oils and vitamins, meant to keep the smoothness, strength and polish of the fiber. It is the natural choice if you wear Rene of Paris or Noriko styles. The listing does not publish an ingredient list or say whether it is sulfate-free, and it is not described for human hair. Wig Studio 1 sells it as a no-return item.
