Wig care - Zara's methods
"God I look like a witch !"
With every wig there comes a time when you just can't rake a comb or brush through it without encountering knots and tangles.
"Ouch !"
Remove tangles gently starting from the very tip and gradually working the brush up the hair with every following stroke. Don't force the brush through knots or tearing with occur. Work the knots apart with the fingers and then brush through.
Be gentle or you will end up with a bald doll.
"Good grief !"
All wigs will shed. The good quality wigs shed less but all loose hair.
"That's better."
The best way to brush out a wig is to take it off the doll.
You don't need fancy wig conditioner to detangle a wig. Simple water will do. Give the wig a thorough wet down along its length and back and front.
Pay particular attention to the tips.
Brush out the wig from the tips upward, working out knots as you go but never forcing the brush through them.
To go to the next step wash the wig. Synthetics don't require frequent washes but they still gather dust.
Lukewarm water, no hotter, and enough to immerse the wig.
Synthetics only need a dash of shampoo. They don't need the full shampoo and conditioning trip that human hair wigs do.
After being immersed, drain and rinse with fresh water.
After draining, gently squeeze out excess water.
Dry by wrapping in a towel.
After covering pat down.
Then brush out and hang in a shady place to dry thoroughly.
"It's so easy, yes?"

Zara looks great as ever.
And yes, it should be a sticky.
Well done MW.
I have found wigs lose their shine, 'bounce', softness and become dull and 'prickly' or rough after time.
Even with washing - as tutorial - I have been unable to find anything to fix this.
I have used all the 'Brandywine' wig care products, fabric softener and ordinary hair conditioner, all without success.
So far the only solution has been a new wig!
