Detangle the Synthetic Wig

Let’s discuss how to restore your wig to a smooth and silky appearance, making it easier to comb through without any tangles or knots.

First, don’t just grab any old brush and start yanking away at your wig. Wig fibers are delicate and can easily become damaged if you’re not gentle.

Instead, use a Wig Static-Free Brush that’s specifically designed for women’s wigs. These wig accessories will help you work through tangles without causing any damage.

Start at the ends of your gorgeous wig, like the Gayle Wig by Paula Young® and work your way up. Slowly and gently brush through each section, being careful not to tug or pull.

If you encounter a stubborn tangle, hold the hair above the knot with one hand and gently comb through the tangle with the other hand.

Once you’ve combed through all the tangles, give your wig a good shake to help loosen any remaining knots on your wig with bangs. And voila – your synthetic wig is back to looking silky smooth once again!

Store it on a Tall Wig Stand or a Wig Case to prevent future tangles.

Wash the Synthetic Wig

Washing a synthetic wig is like giving it a refreshing spa day. Picture your wig lounging in a bubbling jacuzzi, getting all the dirt and grime washed away!

  • Give your synthetic hair wig the royal treatment it deserves by filling up your sink with cold water.
  • Time to choose the shampoo wisely – look for a shampoo specifically made for wigs. Wig shampoos effectively remove product build-up and enhance the wig’s smooth and silky texture while also providing gentle cleansing, softening, and improved manageability.
  • Dip your wig into the cold water and give it a gentle swirl without rubbing or wringing the wig. Let it soak in all the luxurious suds.
  • Hold your wig under running cold water to remove any remnants of shampoo. Remember, thorough rinsing is key to avoid leaving behind residue that could weigh down your wig’s style. You can also have a bowl of clean water to dip their wig into, gently swirl around the bowl to rinse off the shampoo.

Here’s a nugget of wisdom: never wring your synthetic wig. That’s a one-way ticket to Frizzville! Instead, gently press out the excess water using a towel.

Condition the Synthetic Wig

After washing, remove excess water, apply a spritz of Wig Conditioner while it’s wet, and let it naturally dry on the Wig Drying Stand to keep your wig looking fresh.

Now you might wonder why conditioning is important to revive synthetic hair wigs. Well, let us spill the tea. Much like natural hair, synthetic hair wigs can get dull and tangled over time as they endure their fair share of wear and tear from the elements and styling.

And just like you need that extra shot of espresso in the morning, your synthetic wig craves a conditioning boost to restore its luster and vitality.

Picture this: your wig was once a head-turning showstopper. It boasted a silky-smooth texture, gleaming under the spotlight. But like every star, wigs need some rest and TLC too! That’s where conditioning swoops in like a superhero, ready to save the day.

A good conditioning session will work wonders on your synthetic wig. It smoothens the fibers, banishes frizz, and brings back that coveted bounce and shine, giving your wig a new lease on life.

The right conditioner will leave your synthetic strands feeling soft, supple, and oh-so-touchable. Who can resist running their fingers through hair that feels as smooth as silk?

But wait, there’s more!

Conditioning works wonders for your synthetic wig, not only revitalizing its appearance but also preventing tangles, keeping those strands manageable, and maintaining that admirable sheen. It’s like wrapping your synthetic wig in an invisible force field that keeps the frizz at bay.

Style the Synthetic Wig

Once your synthetic wig is completely air-dried, it’s time to channel your inner stylist and breathe life back into it! Here are some tips for styling your women’s wig:

  1. Tools of the Trade: Use a Styling Brush and Pick Comb to style the wig. Keep those heated styling tools away; synthetic hair wigs are divas that can’t handle the heat unless they are made with human hair and heat-resistant VersaFiber®, which can be heat-styled up to 350˚F! If it’s crafted with heat-resistant VersaFiber®, be sure to use heat protectant spray.
  2. Product Power: Look for wig-friendly styling products, like Wig Hair Spray, that is specially formulated for synthetic and human hair to hold style without causing damage. Steer clear of regular hairsprays—those are for mere mortals, not your fabulous synthetic wig!
  3. Shake It Up: Gently give pre-styled wigs like Celebrity WhisperLite® Wig by Paula Young® a shake to ‘wake it,’ and you are ready to make heads turn!

Remember, wigs made of synthetic fibers are like works of art — keep them cool and avoid heat styling like the plague unless you are working with human hair or VersaFiber® wigs, which can be heat-styled up to 350˚F!

Let your wig be the star without the fear of melting its fabulousness away.

Reviving a synthetic wig is a vital step towards restoring its beauty and breathing new life into your style.
