    I am so glad that you recommended the Bambu silicone mix in a prior video. I was really frustrated with how my fibers were feeling on my skin after about 6 months, and how unrealistic it felt to the touch. I wear the same one every weekday full-time for about 8 months straight on average, and this year I was going for an entire school year if possible. So I tried the Bambu product and I could tell it made a difference after the first use. It feels and looks better now at 9 months than it did at 6 months, since I use it every washing - about once every 2 weeks. I realize they recommend most traditional synthetics are "supposed" to last 3-6 months, but if they still look good, why not stretch it out longer? I will probably try the silicone spray Simply Stylin some time, but this is working well for now. Thanks again for the recommendation!

    • @TheWiggyWoman
      @TheWiggyWoman  2 года назад +1

      Just don’t put the silicone near the cap. On a synthetic, the silicone won’t likely impact the knots but just don’t coat those knots and you should be ok. Stop about 2 inches from the root

    Thanks for the detailed tutorial. You did say to try to not get much of the mix on the wig cap. When folding up the slathered-with-mix ends into the cap before placing in the plastic bag to sit for several plus hours, isn’t that causing a lot of the silicone mix to find it’s way to soaking into the cap or are you finding that is not an issue? Thank you.

    • @TheWiggyWoman
      @TheWiggyWoman  2 года назад +1

      It is ok for some of the conditioner to get on the cap, or the roots - you just don't want to rub it into the roots. You'll see when I apply it, I do put conditioner on the top but more on the outer surface vs. working it in.

It's so hard not to buy a wig, when you see all those reviews online. There are so many beautiful wigs... I honestly think that buying wigs could be very addictive. Also, I was wondering, what should we do with old synthetic wigs? It is plastic and do we recycle them somehow? Do you put them in a bin with other plastics? Thank you again! 😘

      I only make videos on things I know- and I honestly am addicted to wigs and am no help here!!! I still wear synthetics I bought years ago, and have donated a couple to people I know personally who needed them. But there is a group on Facebook called Sister to Sister blessed with hair to share that will accept donations and help match them to recipients! If I don’t personally have someone to donate a wig to, that’s the next place I’d turn to. I personally would never throw a wig away. You’d be amazed at how the right person can bring new life to a wig.

      Drugstore products, I personally don’t use because I prefer to use wig specific stuff. But, some people like to condition it with unscented fabric softener. My only advice there would be to not get a lot of fabric softener on the cap. And for shampoo, you could use a very very gentle baby shampoo!

      I would like to know as well. I used this after watching the video on my favorite wig. The smell was so strong! I rewashed it again the next day and added a little baking soda to help remove the smell. Still there… it is so strong when I enter the room that it’s in I can smell it. I’m not even sensitive to smells- but I can’t wear it. 😢

    • @TheWiggyWoman
      @TheWiggyWoman  2 года назад +2

      That is a personal decision. It can help with the shine to wash it. If you like more volume letting it dry upside down also gives it a ton off oomph. But, personally - I do not. I feel like every wash adds wear and tear to them, so I try to get my 7-10 wears out of them first while it is fresh and looking its best and then wash it when it's needed.
