Brush curly wigs properly
Be sure to brush your curly wigs with a wide-toothed comb. Regular combs and hairbrushes can ruin curls and make your curly wigs look frizzy or cause hair to fall off. If your curly wigs are dry, you can spray some moisturizing spray or water onto the wig to make curly hair smooth and easy to brush. If there are tangles or knots on the curly wig, you need remove them gently and properly. Read on to know how to remove tangles on your curly wigs properly.
Detangle curly wigs
Use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to part your curly hair. Before removing tangles on your curly wigs, you can use a conditioner or detangling spray to lightly spray the tangles. The spray will smooth the curly hair so that they can easily slide past each other as you clean up the knots. Larger knots should be carefully removed by hand. Then gently comb through each section of curly hair to remove tangles.
Restore curls on curly wigs
Once your curly wig is free of knots and tangles, it's time to restore curls on the curly wig. Depending on the type of curl your wig has, or how you want it to look, divide the curly hair into sections. Using your fingers, twist each curl so that it bounces back into shape. If you notice that your curls aren't bouncing properly, try twisting your curls in the opposite direction. If your curly wig has small curls, you have to use smaller parts. If you want a new look, get a bigger haircut. You can also try using a curling iron to fix or change your curls but be careful to use a low temperature. You can spray the entire wig with a pliable hairspray to maintain the curls.
Wash curly wigs properly
Fill a basin or bathtub with enough warm or cool water to completely immerse the curly wig. Be careful not to use too hot water, as this can damage the wig. Once the whole wig is wet, you need to use wig shampoo. Gently and evenly apply shampoo to your wig and massage to remove stains and dust. Next, carefully rinse the shampoo off the wig. Wash your curly wig from root to tip with water running in the direction of your hair. This will reduce tangles. Take your wig out of the water and carefully lay it flat on a towel. Pat the curly wig gently with another towel to help it dry. It's important that you pat your wig dry, not knead it. We also recommend not drying your curly wig on a wig holder or stand, as the weight of wet hair can stretch your curly wig and lose its original curl shape.
Maintain curly wigs
Regularly and deeply care for your curly wig to prevent it from drying out, frizziness, and tangles. You can also apply essential wig hair oils or make hair masks to hydrate your curly wig.
Store curly wigs properly
Make sure you store your curly wigs properly and carefully. Gently cover the wig with a hairnet to keep the wig in place and prevent further knots. Then, lay your curly wig flat in the bag or box, or put your wig in an airtight plastic box to keep it from getting dusty. Don't casually leave your wig on the floor or anywhere else, as this can easily lead to tangles and knots in your curly wigs. Or you can place the wig on a wig rack or wig stand to keep its original shape and curls.
