How to Detangle a Synthetic Wig

What do you do if your wig gets so tangled and looks matted?  Can you bring it back to life?

Here are a few tips to help bring life back into your wig.

The first bit of advice would be to always take special care of your wig.  The more tangled the wig is the harder it is to bring the wig back to its original condition. Always wash and condition your hair wig at least every 6 -7 wears.

However, there are some great products and with a little bit of patience you can bring it back.

Wig Detangler is a great product.  After you have washed and conditioned your wig, lightly spray detangler throughout the whole wig.  Use a wide tooth wig comb and work gently from the bottom tips about an inch at a time in sections. As each section becomes smooth and the comb glides easily through work on the next section until you have been through the whole wig.  You can use wig detangler every day to keep your wig looking good on dry hair too.

For Heat Defiant Synthetic Wigs, the Easihair Smooth Detangler is a great product that can be used daily.Simply spray lightly on the wig each day and comb through.  Allow the wig to dry and you are ready for the day.  This product eliminates frizz and helps maintain the healthy shine and body of the wig.

For Human Hair wigs, The Jon Renau Human Hair Kit includes a Moroccan Oil Treatment which will help with tangles as well.  You can just rub your fingertips with the Moroccan oil through the hair and comb through starting from the bottom and working your way up to the crown. The Human hair specially formulated Shampoo and Conditioner is a great way to keep your wig in great condition.

Just a couple of things to note:

• When detangling a wig always start with small sections at the bottom of the wig and gradually work your way up until you have combed through and detangled each section.  Excessive combing and pulling on hair can cause the wig to loose hair.
• If you manage your wig each day the upkeep is much less.  The more tangled the wig is, the harder it is to bring it back.
