Styling a Wig
Synthetic wigs are prone to matting, shedding, fading and
frizzing. If not taken proper care of, a synthetic wig will lose the charm as it
begins to get old. Moreover, if a synthetic wig has curls or waves, it will develop frizz on the locks or tangles. When
styling your wig take note of following factors
Oil Sheen Spray
To improve the texture of synthetic wigs, all you need is
Oil sheen spray. A light mist of oil sheen spray helps taming down the frizz
whereas also provides a new healthy shine to synthetic wigs. To detangle a
tangled wig, treating your wig with this DIY conditioner would help.
Using Hair Gels, Mousses, Sprays & Shampoos
When styling synthetic wigs always avoid using regular
products. Synthetic wigs can be the most unforgiving when treated with human
hair products. Synthetic wigs are made from plastic fibers thus regular hair
products are not compatible with synthetic wigs. Only use products formulated for
synthetic wigs. Being more specific and using products solely made for heat-resistant
wig will save you a great deal of money. If you want to style a pixie cut with
numerous spikes; use hair glue instead of gel.
Spraying Synthetic Wig with Colored Hair Spray for a
Temporary Dye
If you are up to changing the color of the wig, always rely
on wig dyes (acrylic inks or paints). Keep in mind that you cannot dye your wig
a color lighter. Wigs can only be dyed a color darker and cannot be reverted to
the original color whatsoever.

try staining
a wig using hair-chalks. Hair-chalks last only a shampoo.
It is advised to wash your wig every 20 wears or even more
frequently if you are a cosplayer and your character demands you to put loads of
styling products. Whenever, you try to give your wig a new hair style, trim or
an entirely new cut always make sure that the wig is free from the residuals of
glues, glitter etc.
