The quickest way to make a synthetic wig look less fake is often to reduce its unnatural shine.
Methods to Reduce Shine
Synthetic wigs often have an artificial gloss right out of the box. Here's how to tone it down:
- Dry Shampoo: A light application of dry shampoo can significantly reduce the shine. Hold the can about 12 inches away and spray in short bursts. Be sure to brush through gently to distribute evenly.
- Baby Powder: Similarly, a light dusting of baby powder can dull the wig's sheen. Use a makeup brush to apply the powder and then gently shake out any excess. Be cautious not to use too much, as it can leave a white cast, especially on darker wigs.
By implementing these simple methods, you can noticeably improve the realism of your synthetic wig.
