How To Brush A Wig
So what is the best way to brush a wig?
Step 1 Secure The Wig Steady
Firstly, place your wig on the mannequin head and pin the wig on the mannequin head with some t-pins to hold it in place.
Of course, you can also wear the wig on your head and brush it as you wear it, as long as you are in front of a mirror.
Step 2 Apply Conditioner To Wig
Next, you need to spray a generous amount of high-quality wig conditioner all throughout the wig to make it easier to brush out.
Step 3 Section Off The Wig
Grab your wide-tooth comb and start splitting off the wigs into different sections and use the clips to hold hair out of the way in the direction you prefer, which can help you from getting too frustrated when you have small sections to focus on.
Step 4 Brush Wig
Take your wide-toothed comb to gently comb the hair down, start at the bottom and work your way up. Once you have the tangles removed from the ends of your hair, you can move up a few inches and start combing down again, working out the tangles.
Remember to brush one section at a time. It may be a time-consuming process so please be patient and gentle while brushing hair to avoid pulling off the hair.
Step 5 Finish Brushing
Continue brushing one section at a time until the section is brushed out. During this process, make sure that you separate the brushed hair and the tangled hair. After you are done with all the sections, pull out the clips.
Some points You Need To Keep In Mind
Brushing a lace front wig is a little more complicated than brushing regular natural hair, as there are some points you need to keep in mind.
- Never brush a wig when it is wet
It is important to not brush a wig when it is wet, particularly if it is a human hair wig. That is because your wig is at its weakest and most susceptible to damage when it is wet. In order to avoid permanently stretching and damaging your wig, make sure your wig is completely dried before brushing.
- Brush from the bottom upwards
Brushing a wig from the roots and downwards can cause the brush or comb to catch knots and pull strands out of your wig. Instead, brushing should always start mid-hair or a few inches from your ends. So, start with the ends and brush in small sections to avoid pulling the hair, moving up your hair as you go. If your brush gets stuck, remove it and start again, gently.
