Getting back the sheen
Getting back the sheen
At first I thought furniture polish. The wax woud put back the shine and shouldn't react with the silicone, as waxes are pretty inert. Alas, furniture polish no longer has wax in it. None of them.
Second thought was silicone spray, but I dread to think what that may do to the doll's flesh (or coatings).
Is there a product, preferably spray on so it would be easy to apply and brush in out in the field, that will restore the sheen to a synthetic wig?

Just remember to place your wig on a wig holder then spray the shine gloss made for wigs with synthetic hair directly on the wig. Hold it about 5 inches away from the wig when you spray it to allow for optimal distribution across the wig. Use a shine spray or cream for real hair if your wig is made from natural hair. Apply it according to label instructions.

I've heard it's easier (and less costly) to replace it with something called "kutcher"Szalinski wrote:New wigs look great, but after a few brushings the sheen seems to go away. ...

Do I need to do all the brushing/styling before I spray it (that would be rather difficult if I have to transfer it from a standtothe doll)?
Or can it be brushed after, perhaps even brushed through the "hair"?
OK, your "whistle" smily makes me think that was a joke, but "kutcher" I don't get?GFELube wrote:I've heard it's easier (and less costly) to replace it with something called "kutcher"Szalinski wrote:New wigs look great, but after a few brushings the sheen seems to go away. ...

Damnit. I didn't get the joke until you explained it. This makes me feel bad about myself. Here I was thinking I was "smart" and deep... and I totally missed it. Kinda shoots that theory right in the foot.

Any Fibre Oil Conditioner should do the same.
