How to detangle and style a curly wig

Ok, so detangling a straight wig is rather easy…but what about detangle and style a curly wig? They are a pain!!! When they first arrive they look so cool, with perfect curls, so smooth, but you wear them once and you will regret even looking at it! They tend to get tangled really easy and they are very difficult to mantain. The good news is you can rescue them and here is the way.

Detangle a curly wig

The key to detangle your wig is patience. You will need to work with every lock separately. Just get a lock, comb it, and twist it around your finger, then you can let go. If the lock is too tangled use detangler or a mixture of conditioner and water in a spray bottle. If it is two wet to keep its shape gently dry it with a hairdryer.

To make it easier for you I recommend you to use hair clips. Keep your tangled hair from the untangled one. Also, do several layers of curls to make them look more natural, about a finger thick.

I would suggest watching a film while you do this as it may take a while. If your wig is particularly stubborn you may want to make all those curls from scratch. If you decide to do so, I recommend you to straighten your wig first.

One of the quickest ways to recurl your wig is curling the wig with hot water, but it is also possible to use a curling iron and hairspray. It will depend on the desired effect you are looking for.
