How do you fix a dry tangled wig?

To fix a dry, tangled wig, you'll need to gently detangle it using the right tools and techniques. Here's a step-by-step approach:

Detangling a Dry Wig

Gather Your Tools: You'll need a wide-tooth comb, a spray bottle, and wig-safe conditioner.
Prepare a Detangling Solution: You can use a pre-made wig detangling spray. Alternatively, you can create your own by mixing three parts water with one part wig-safe conditioner in your spray bottle.

Finger Detangle: Start by carefully using your fingers to separate any large knots. This helps to prevent damage from forcing a comb through the tangles.
Spray the Wig: Lightly mist the wig with your detangling spray. This will provide lubrication to aid in the detangling process, making it easier to comb through.
Section the Wig: Divide the wig into smaller, manageable sections. Use clips or hair ties to keep the sections you're not currently working on out of the way. This prevents tangles from reforming while you're working on another part of the wig.
Comb Gently: Using your wide-tooth comb, start detangling from the ends of the hair and gently work your way up to the roots.
- Important: Never start at the roots as this can pull and break the wig fibers.
- Be Patient: Take your time and work slowly to avoid further tangling or damaging the wig.
Repeat if Needed: If some tangles persist, repeat steps 2-4 until the wig is smooth and manageable.

Style as Usual: Once detangled, you can style your wig as usual.
Maintenance: Regularly detangle your wig to avoid future tangles. Also, properly storing it will help prevent it from getting tangled again.
