It might also burn a hole in your pocket as you will need to buy a new one. Don’t be hasty. We bring you some best tips to prevent your wigs from tangling. Let figure it out.
Why wigs get tangled?
Before heading to the solutions, we should get a full understanding of the reasons why wigs tangle. By this way, we can also prevent the wigs from such state.
Dryness
Unlike natural hair, wigs don’t have natural oils from the scalp to moisture the hair locks whether it’s human hair or synthetic hair. Therefore, wigs tend to be dry and easy to get knotted.
Quality
For synthetic wigs, it is the material of the fiber such as polymer or acrylic that makes the hair prone to tangling. And with wigs made from human hair, the chemicals used to handle and dye the hair provokes the tangling state. If you have experience different types of wigs, you will realize that low-quality wigs will get tangled much easier than the high-quality ones.
Improper care
The ways you take care of your wigs play an important part in the condition of the wig. With frequent heat exposure and improper care, the hair strands are prone to frizzing, tangling and knotting. So be sure that you master the right wig-care techniques.
Time of use
Even if you are owning a high-quality human hair wig and take special care for it, it will become old eventually. After a certain time of use, the hair will start to be worn out and get tangled.
