    I’ve been doing this for about five years only difference is I use fabric softener.. I simply let it soak in the fabric softener for about 30 minutes let it air dry brush it out it’s good to go. I learned that technique from one of the Atlanta housewives hairstylist when watching the show one day.

Im use to human hair wigs, but this pandemic has caused my supplier to experience crazy shipping times, so i went and purchased a synthetic wig that is just gorgeous, i didnt want to give up on it after a couple weeks so i started doing my research. thanks again ! my wig is exactly how it was when i first purchased it. OH, also i realized that i didnt have to chop my ends, i applied some heat to the ends curling them with my curling wand and all is well ...

    I use a cheap shampoo like Herbal essence mixed with some apple cider vinegar, then I rinse and then condition the hair in some water with fabric softener. I leave it to soak for about 3-5 minutes, then rinse out completely. Leave to dry and style accordingly.

I was asking my Black friend about the lace and she said never to trust white women about wigs (jokingly) and ask if she pushed me to buy the special shampoo conditioner and other stuff and I said yes. She said please go watch your YT channel before I waste any more money and I’m so glad I did my synthetic wig just looks as amazing as the day I bought it. So thank you truly for teaching this newbie a thing or two (honestly more than I can count). ❤
