How to Detangle a Wig Without Unnecessary Damage

Work in sections from the ends upward. Pulling from the top forces tangles downward and increases tension on the hair and cap.

Quick verdict

Patience protects the wig. Small sections and short strokes are safer than trying to pull through a large tangle.

Prepare the wig

Place the wig on a stable stand or support it securely. Separate the hair into manageable sections.

Start at the ends

Use your fingers or a suitable wide-tooth tool to release tangles at the ends before moving upward.

Support the hair

Hold the section above the tangle so you are not transferring all the pulling force to the lace, knots or cap.

Prevent repeat tangling

Store the wig carefully, minimize rough clothing friction on long lengths and keep product buildup under control.
