Comb or brush out your wig daily. Wig hair gets tangled the same as your natural virgin hair, so it is important to comb and/or brush out your wig hair daily. Start from the ends of the wig hair and work up towards your scalp. Make sure to brush or comb your hair gently to avoid pulling out hair from the wig. If you have any stubborn tangles, lightly mist the area with a leave-in conditioner to help loosen them.
Wear a satin cap at night to protect the wig while you sleep. After you go to all of the hard work of sewing a wig into place, make sure that the hair stays smooth and does not get tangled while you sleep. You can do this By wearing a satin cap over your wig while you sleep. When you remove the cap in the morning, your hair will still require some brushing and styling, but it will be mostly tangle-free. If you don’t want to wear a cap while you sleep, consider sleeping on a satin pillowcase instead.
