Your natural inclination may be to go for the scissors or a sharp comb when your wig becomes a tangled mess. There is a risk of serious harm to your wig if you don't know what you're doing. Here, you'll learn the best methods and tools for detangling a wig. In no time, you'll have the skills necessary to untangle your wig without damaging the hair or yourself.

Step-by-Step Detangling of a Wig

You can finally get down to business once you've gathered all of your materials in one convenient location. Simply comply with the below steps to gently and effectively rejuvenate your wig.
1.  Install a Wig Stand 
Wig detangling on your head or in your lap is more trouble than it's worth. A wig stand is the first thing you should use to properly store your wig. One composed of cork and canvas is particularly favored. Ideally, the wig stand would be fastened to a flat surface. Your hands will be free to grasp the comb and other tools you'll need for detangling if you put the wig on a wig stand.
T-pin the wig to the mannequin head, so it doesn't move around while you detangle it.
2.  Section Off the Hair 
Make styling your hair easier by sectioning it off. Your wig's density and how tangled it is will determine how many portions you'll need to detangle it.
A good way is to divide the wig into four or more portions. Use your fingers to create a part in the wig from front to back and then from ear to ear. This divides the paper into four equal parts.
The suggested four-part structure is flexible; additional subsections may be added as needed.
3.   Use a Detangling Spray on the Hair
Use a detangling spray on your wig to get rid of the knots. As you strive to untangle your hair, the spray will make the strands slippery so that they flow past each other without becoming caught.
A detangler can be found at any drugstore or department shop. Make your own detangler at home if you like to take control of your hair care. You may manufacture your own detangler by combining four parts of water with one part conditioner in a spray container. Spray it into your hair after properly shaking the mixture.
Use a generous amount of detangler spray to coat the hair. Insufficient usage will result in diminished performance.
4.  Use Your Fingers to Untangle the Worst of the Tangles
You could try to comb out the knots, but that won't work very well. Knots of a larger size are best worked out by hand. With your hands, rather than a comb, you can feel the tangles and work them out. Avoid becoming overwhelmed by the knots by tackling them one area at a time.
If there is a tangle in your wig and you can't get it out with your hands and some detangling spray, you can spritz the knot with water and saturate it with conditioner. Once more, use your fingers to try to pry it loose.
Remember: fingernails are not meant for detangling. Doing so increases the risk of split ends and hair breakage since it damages the hair shaft.
5.  Detangle the Hair with a Wide Tooth Comb
Use the wide-tooth comb to comb one of the portions from the ends to the roots. Start at the ends and work your way up, then detangle the mid-lengths and finally the roots. If you comb your hair from roots to ends, you risk pulling at your hair and breaking it.
You should continue on to the following subsection and do the same thing again. Do not continue combing past the point when the comb passes through the hair without snagging.
When the knots are mostly gone, use your wig brush to get the hair as smooth as possible. Once you've detangled your hair with the wide-toothed comb, you may brush it out thoroughly, beginning at the roots.
6.  Wash and Condition Your Wig
To restore its body and luster, you may need to wash and condition the wig if you use a lot of conditioner or detangler. Straight wigs require this even more so. If you don't wash your wig before you style it, it will likely have a lifeless, greasy appearance. A short rinse may be all that's required for curly wigs.
Take note: a matted wig should never be washed, much less attempted to be detangled. That will only lead to further knots and confusion. It is imperative that you untangle your wig completely before washing it.
7.  Dry Your Wig
Never let your wig sit in water for a lengthy amount of time. There are two methods for drying a wig that will keep it free of mildew and mold:
Let your wig dry naturally: The safest and most delicate approach to dry your wig is to suspend it from a wig stand in a well-ventilated area. Do not store it in a confined area, such as a cupboard. Within a day, your wig will be completely dry. Before placing the wig on the stand, you can help it dry more quickly by gently patting away excess water with a microfiber towel.
Straighten up that wig: If you're in a rush, you can save time by blow-drying your wig. Brush the hair using a wig brush while blasting the wig with a blow dryer, whether you're holding it in your hand or placing it on a mannequin head. To avoid tearing out your hair, avoid pulling on it too vigorously. To protect your hair's health, it's best to use the blow dryer's "cool" setting.
8. Style Your Wig
Your wig can be styled as you like once it has dried. You can use a flat iron to make it straight or a curling wand to give it voluminous curls. Try to enjoy yourself with it.
