Have you ever run into these kinds of situation?
I couldn’t help wearing my favorite wig to swimming and it tangled afterwards! I wear this wig daily and for almost a year and I really love it but it become tangling badly. I am not sure why but it just gets tangled very easily…
I am sure you have! Hair growing on the head can get natural conditioning from the human body continuously, while for the human hair on a wig, it has lost the source of natural conditioning. Thus it will tangle and this is normal.
No worries! Let me guide you to detangle the wig and bring it back to life step by step:
1.Combing (a mannequin head, spray bottle, and a wide-tooth comb)
Put the matted wig onto a mannequin head and use needles to secure it. Prepare a spray bottle filled in with 1:20 fabric softener and water.
Spray a little water onto the wig and comb all the knots and tangles through strand by strand. Brush the wig starting at the ends and working upwards to the scalp area until the whole wig is tangle free.
2.Washing
Put some mild temperature water in the sink and cupfuls of sulfate free shampoo. Don’t use hot water for curl wigs because hot water will remove the curls. Soak it in the water for 10-15 minutes. Gently wash the wig to remove all the extra oil or dirt off. Rinse the wig with the water flowing in the direction the hair is laid.
3.Deep Conditioning
Saturate the unit with deep conditioner and put it in a plastic bag to make sure each hair get moistured. Microwave for 30 seconds or let it sit for an hour or more.
4.Rinse the conditioner. Use a towel to absorb the water and let it air dry.
5.Style it as you like.
When you have wig tangling problem, try these steps and you will be amazed when you bring your favorite wig back to life!
