How To Restore and Straighten A Synthetic Wig!

[@supershakeit11]

If you sprayed it down with warm water and fabric softener mixed it would loose much less hair and be really really soft and you can still steam it straight afterwards

[@onlinekyne]

Thanks!

[@bertandernie5202]

Barbie Collector you would do this before detangling?

[@supershakeit11]

Bertand Ernie yes! it helps the tangles come out better and the wig doesn't have asnmuch breakage and hair being pulled out

[@bertandernie5202]

Barbie Collector wow! thank you!

[@ysolidergirl8477]

Hey Barbie Collector what kind of softener and can it be used on synthetic wigs

[@drpastry]

Back in my early,early drag days,i would wear synthetic wigs because i worked a real job in fast food and anything other than synthetic was too costly for the budget so i went to my drag mother one night while we were getting ready for that night's shows and i just simply said ,"girl help?" She said come by the house tomorrow and bring all of your syns with you.This is what she did to all of my syn wigs and all i had to pay her was a little pot (which i got to enjoy as well ;) and while listening to Patti LaBelle,Tina Turner,Gladys Knight,Donna Summer,and all of the other queens and divas,we did hair ALL DAY!! Child by the time they were finished i think we were too lmao but those are memories i will always,always have of those fun times. R.I.P Daisy,i miss you and love you.

when this tutorial was bomb as hell but you don't have a steamer

[@sonaiwyche]

you can use the steam function on an iron .

[@klausthefish2161]

I boil mine in water

[@EldenBread]

There is a straightening brush on wish.com that I bought that I am attempting to use it's getting some results at least

[@caitybelle16]

I’ve heard using boiling water and carefully pouring it on can work and I’m gonna try taking a shower without the fan on and letting the steam make my wig look better

[@halleys.comett]

[@Tanjaaa212]

the way you're going at the hair with the brush when it's still tangled makes it very obvious you've never had to detangle your own long hair, it brings back memories of my dad trying to brush my hair when I was a kid 😂😅 the end result is nice though

[@onlinekyne]

Hahaha everyone keeps saying that! Well the great thing about wigs if you can be as rough as you like with them :D But I'll try to soften it up a bit in the future hehe

Hes going from the top and just forcing the brush through. Reminds me of my dad as well!! START FROM THE BOTTOM AND WORK YOUR WAY UP ALWAYS

[@Cerberus03]

Sarah Blackwood The funny thing is my dad was the one who told me to work from the bottom up. But I think he used to have long hair, so it doesn’t count,

[@kaxtiechaos]

I have been going crazy trying to find a good way to bring old wigs back to life. After watching this video I went out and got a fairly cheap steamer just to try it out... this is a life saver! I have so many pieces I love that are going to be brought back from the verge of being thrown away!

[@onlinekyne]

That makes me so happy! xoxo

[@kellym6118]

Wait what if you don’t have a steamer at the time !? What else could I use ?

[@AngelaWrightSnaPPinGLiFE]

Not to knock this method. To each his own..😌 Imo and though wearing synthetic wigs. I've found a low wattage air heat brush is the ticket for renewing synthetic hair. It's not as time consuming as this method is. I use a Conair 300 watt heat brush. It's simply a perfect solution to keeping synthetic wigs on point. I paid $13.49 for heat brush on Amazon. Try it you will be so pleased with outcome.

[@kaxtiechaos]

[@bethysboutique]

For tangles I usually use a wide tooth comb and follow with the brush cause I'm too paranoid of ripping anything out 😂 cosplay is expensive

[@onlinekyne]

When I first started wearing wigs I was too scared to even brush them or use any hairspray cause I wanted to keep them pristine and pretty hahahaha. Over time I started learning you have to be kinda aggressive to get it to do what you want!

[@freybinguit4444]

I’m just starting to wear wigs for drag & clubbing looks and your wig tutorials have been so educational, I feel really confident that I can get my cheap synthetic wigs looking fabulous as soon as my steamer, wig block and tripod arrive. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talent! I can’t wait to get curling, steaming, teasing and styling! You explain and demonstrate things so well ❤️

[@Alebabe]

nice job, just a quick tip to make it more easier to brush the knots away, start from tips to roots, brushing the ends first then the mid parts all the way to the roots so its easier to detangle and also takes less hair off of your wig. keep up the good work ;)

[@onlinekyne]

Thank you!!

[@auntbecky7649]

Rigel Mc that's what he was doing he said to do that at the beginning of the video

[@Chemeleon15]

Kera Andersen He said the right way to do it, but several times, when he switched sections, he started combing from the root and caused a lot of breakage.

[@auntbecky7649]

[@lilbohbeat5785]

I was going to comment the same thing, glad I checked to make sure that no one else had 👍

[@ChickWithFlicks]

That was amazing...glad I came across this vid because if that was my wig I would've assumed it was garbage and wasted $$$$!!!!

[@onlinekyne]

Haven't experienced this yet myself but lots of wig stylists say that old ratty wigs are actually better at retaining styles than ones that are straight out of the bag! The moral of the story is to never give up lol. Xoxo

[@Godsustains]

"You can also use the steamer to see what part still has knots because the hair looks straight and sleek except for that one part that looks like shit." lmaoo you killed that dude

[@xXxakurokuxXx123]

OMGGGG super cool tutorial, the only thing I would recommend is to NOT use a brush on your wigs when de-tangling , always use a wide tooth comb or fingers , regular brushes tend to fray the ends and the only way to fix that is by cutting. this video was so helpful tho !!

[@onlinekyne]

Thank you!!!

[@sonotfetch]

[@Sunnydya]

Listennn...I have at least 3 wigs that need refreshing and upgrading. I can't wait to try this!!!

[@odilelenoir6885]

I do the same process to my wigs, I brush them really good to detangle all the knots but before steaming them I usually wash the with hot water and a fabric soap, cause I find it helps take out every glitter or stain on the hair and it also wash out the smell of smoke that the wig absorbs if you work in a club.

[@gena9731]

Woooooow. Yup I’m doing this on all my wigs now. My boyfriend is gonna be so mad at me about using his steamer. Idec.

[@hannahoneil4960]

this video absolutely saved my wig. one side at the bottom had gotten frizzy and puffed out and it looked/felt horrible. but now it's back to its former glory and i can use it for cosplay again!! thank you for saving my first lace front

[@p.s.m.us.2691]

I find a mixture of conditioner and fabric softener work miracles my tangled wigs !

[@rainbowbright5488]

Let me just give you an update about how you single handily saved my life and my home and my kids from being taken. I had over 500 wigs over the years most of them was synthetic hair matted hair and all . Well I was about to be kicked out my house I had 2weeks to pay my mortgage off I don't know why but something told me to watch you and I never knew I could do this well I started selling my old wigs enough not only to pay my mortgage but to have a good x mas for my kids ! I would have lost my kids if it wasn't for you I don't know what to say . No home means they would have taken them and they said they would too . You also made me to start making wigs now and now my life is so much better cause of you I have 8 kids and every night we all thank god and keep you in our prayers I would like to make you a wig and send it to you if you let me at a token of my love for what you did you changed us for live and we're no longer broke . When my husband left us he left us Owing a lot he was a wife beater and kid beater too and a drunken man you are like a angel to us and you don't even know it thank you from the Smiths

[@AngelaWrightSnaPPinGLiFE]

Amazing how one person can change another's life. I'm so happy for you. I pray for your continued success,peace and prosperity... 😌🐕‍🦺🌵

[@buffysummers8159]

Thankyou.. My sister bought a lace front wig and then she gave it to me... After she had backcombed the hell out of it. It looked like a dead cat.

[@MasochisticMaiden]

Buffy Summers for a lace front, before you do this - detangle as much as possible from ends to roots. Use a sulfate free shampoo to clean the lace cap and let the hair soak in the bubbly water for a few seconds. Squeeze (dont wring - just a closed fist) the water out, then use a conditioner also sulfate free rub it down the hair to coat the ends, let it soak for a few minutes - submerging it in water to clean out the conditioner and squeeze out again. Lay it flat or hang to dry (its lace should dry within a few hours mine take about 3 hours), then it'll take its natural shape back and then you can steam like this in sections to help the ends revive a bit - I say in sections because if it has a distinct layer cut you'll want to keep that most likely but it its just straight or you want it pin straight you don't have to worry about layers.

[@CarlyGayJepsen]

when u brush a wig it's much better to start from the bottom(the end) of the hair so u won't pull half of the hair while you're brushing it

[@onlinekyne]

Good tip! I always try to do this and then just get impatient hehehe

[@mannekin]

I use a really big round bristle brush underneath and steam from the top. The bristles seem to flatten and smooth the hair really well. Like you said, the more bristles the better!

[@ShallowApple22]
