How to De-frizz a Synthetic Wig: Detangle & Defrizz

Synthetic wigs are prone to frizz and tangles. Though a synthetic wig can be treated for disheveled fibers, using a homemade wig conditioner; frizz can be sometimes awkwardly permanent.

Frequent washing, brushing & usage of styling products may turn synthetic wigs frizzy.

If your wig is frizzy and disheveled; consider taking out the tangles first. Try to open the knots or ease the entire process by soaking your wig in a fabric softener conditioner. After you are done treating your synthetic wig for tangles, brace yourself for the next big project that will either ruin your wig or make it. Thus, you need to be careful.

Let the wig fibers dangle. Make sections of your wig and flick them out. Pour boiling water slowly over each section & let it hang. The weight of the water will pull down the wig fibers that will straighten the wig reducing the frizz. Let it air dry. Straighten them using a straightener if you wish to achieve a dead sleek look. 

Wigs develop frizz where they rub on your collar, nape and shoulder. Also failing to prevent them from static-cling damages your synthetic wigs. Store them braided in original packaging or if you prefer to hang them on a wig hanger, keep them wrapped in a cotton scarf. Following these tips can significantly increase the life of your synthetic wig. How do you manage your frizzy wigs?

How to Keep your Synthetic Wigs from Getting Frizzy: 5 Steps to Keep Tangles Away from Synthetic Wigs

Synthetic wigs though need relatively less care than human hair wigs; they do become frizzy over the time. Untangling a synthetic wig is often a complete mess. In order to keep it prevented from developing knots & disheveled fibers, synthetic wigs should only be brushed using the specially engineered wig comb. You can add months to the life span of an ordinary synthetic wig by taking measures to keep the frizz away from your synthetic wigs

1. After taking it out from the packaging, fluff away the loose fibers. Rub your fingers through the wig to take out the loose knots. Then shake it off & comb your wig using a comb having metal bristles. Keep your hand motions swift and short. This reduces the friction & keeps the wig from getting tangled.
2. Store synthetic wigs on a mannequin head or on a wig stand that should be tall enough to let the wigs hang freely. Wigs also get tangled if there are obstacles in the way where they are stored.
3. Keep your wigs wrapped by a satin wrapping when not wearing. This prevents lint accumulation over synthetic wigs that make them look dry & frizzy.
4. Cover your synthetic wigs by a scarf when travelling with a wig on during hot sunny day. Extreme weather conditions such as a windy or a rainy day can tangle the wig.
5. Moisturize your synthetic wigs regularly with a light sheen. The spritz help coating the wig fibers with a thin layer that does not let the wig fibers get tangled.

Synthetic wigs are not only pocket-friendly but are also time friendly. They keep the memory of the style & wave so you do not need to spend hours in styling it at a late morning to work. However, it is utterly your own duty to maintain the quality of synthetic wigs.
