Wigs are great for accessorizing hair, trying on a different look, and dressing up in a costume.Synthetic wigs can get frizzy if you treat them the same as real hair.Instead of simply brushing your wig, use gentle detangling and styling techniques with your hands and wide-toothed combs.If you have a wig that is heat-friendly, use a flat iron or hot-air brush to style it.
Step 1: The wig should be placed on the head.
If you don't have a mannequin head, use your knee, or ask a family member if you can put a wig on their head.If you try to straighten a wig without stabilizing it on a head it can lead to more tangling.
Step 2: Attach the ends of the wig with your fingers.
Use your hands to brush out the wig.You can use a wide-toothed comb if you're gentle with it.It is possible to increase hair static by brushing the wig too much.
Step 3: A detangling spray or lotion can be used.
Take a small section of the wig and spray detangling spray on it.When selecting a spray, look for products with the word "wig" in the title.
Step 4: The wig needs to be washed gently.
Slowly comb the sprayed section.Put the comb away with your fingers if there is a knot.Continue combing once it's solved.Continue spraying and combing until you have worked your way around the wig.
Step 5: If you don't have a detangling product, you can use a fabric stabilizer.
static electricity can cause hair loss in synthetic wigs.You can make your own detangling product by mixing 12 cup of cold water with a liquid fabric conditioner in a spray bottle.Let it air-dry after spraying it lightly on your wig.You can use more fabric softener if you have more time.To dry out the wig, use a towel.
Step 6: Take the wig out of the bathtub.
Put your wig in a bathtub with water and laundry detergent and let it dry.The water should be warm, around 85 to 95 F.
Step 7: After a few minutes, rinse the wig in water.
To avoid further tangling, be gentle while rinsing it.To get rid of the excess water, lightly sprinkle the wig with a towel.The wig should be moved back to the mannequin head.
Step 8: The wig should be washed on the mannequin with a gentle approach.
Take the mannequin head to the sink.Use your fingers as combs to squeeze the strands of the wig.It's a good idea to condition the same way and rinse thoroughly.Pick a conditioner that has a low pH and doesn't contain sulfate.They are intended for extra-dry hair.
Step 9: Rub a sheet of fabric on the wig to make it softer.
Rub the dryer sheet onto the strands of the wig to eliminate the potential for frizziness.
Step 10: Hang it to dry, then towel-dry more.
It's best to wash your wig the night before you wear it, since it will take up to 5 hours to dry.Before putting it on, brush it out with a natural bristle brush.Try not to wash your wig more than once a week.
Step 11: If your wig is exposed to heat, check it.
Synthetic wigs do not respond well to heat, and some might melt if you try to blow-dry them.Make sure to check the label of your wig before using heated hair- styling tools.You shouldn't risk burning your wig if there is no heat-friendly phrase.
Step 12: On the lowest temperature, preheat your flat iron.
If your wig is heat-friendly, you should use the lowest heat possible.The wig might melt if you set the iron too high.Wait a few minutes until the iron is hot.The temperature of the flat iron should not be over 220 F.
Step 13: The wig should be clipped up and straightened.
When the wig is on the mannequin head, use your hands to divide it into two layers.Use a clip to hold the top layer in place.Take a small section from the bottom and apply the iron to the ends.
Step 14: iron the top layer after removing the clip.
Take a small section from the top layer once you're done with the bottom layer.The same method was used to apply the flat iron on the bottom layer.Continue until all of the wig is covered.Don't hold the iron on one spot for too long as it might harm the wig.
Step 15: Use a natural bristle brush while styling your wig.
To brush out the wig, use a natural bristle brush.This will make the strands look shiny.
Step 16: A hot-air brush can be used on your wig.
If you don't have a straightener or want a softer feel, go for a hot-air brush.After spraying the wig, you can use it.Allow the brush to dry the fibers as you move it down the wig.
