Synthetic wigs are very popularly worn every day by people as a protective way to let their own hair time to grow, and also worn by people who want to change their hairstyles quickly as role-plays.
And no matter which way you wear your wig, you must want the wig look as natural as possible. For some synthetic lace wigs, they might look very shiny under strong lights which make the wigs look less real. Here are a few tips to get rid of that synthetic shine.
Fabric Softener - Add a few tablespoons of fabric softener to a large container of water, and fully submerge the wig. Let it soak for several minutes. Gently work your fingers through the hair to detangle it, then remove the wig and allow it to air-dry on its stand. The fabric softener should strip some of the synthetic shine from the hair.
Specialty Shampoo - Washing the hair with a special shampoo made for synthetic hair will naturally strip away a bit of the unnatural sheen. This shampoo is available at nearly every wig supply store. Wash your wig as normal before blow-drying it in the coolest possible setting.
Baby Powder - A little baby powder can work wonders. Tap a bit onto a powdered puff and dab your way down the wig from root to ends, getting every part of the hair. Shake the wig gently to remove excess powder. Comb the hair with a wide-toothed comb or with your fingers to make sure that the powder dusts every section of the hair.
Vinegar - Mix 2 cups of apple cider vinegar with half a gallon of water, and fully submerge the synthetic wig. Soak the wig for up to five minutes. Rinse the wig under a stream of cool, gentle water, then comb it as normal. Allow the wig to air-dry in order to remove the smell of the vinegar.
