The Right Way to Brush Your Wigs 💇🏽♀️✨
Unlock methods that gives your wig the ready to wear look all the time.
Sis, wigs are investments. Whether it’s bone straight, deep wave, bob, or kinky curls, how you care for your wigs determines how long they’ll last, and how fine you’ll look in them. One major key? Brushing them the right way. Here’s your guide to keeping wigs tangle-free, smooth, and slay-ready.
1. Use the Right Brush/Comb: For bone straight wigs → use a paddle brush. For deep wave or curly wigs → use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers (no regular brushes, abeg, they’ll frizz it up). For kinky/afro wigs → finger detangle or use a wide afro pick.
2. Brush When Slightly Damp: Spray a little water or wig conditioner before brushing. Brushing dry wigs (especially curly types) can cause breakage, frizz, and unnecessary shedding.
3. Brush/Comb It The Right Way: Start from the Bottom, Work Up Don’t drag the brush from the roots, that’ll pull the hair out. Instead, start brushing the tips, work your way up slowly, detangle gently until you reach the roots. This is the best way to brush your wig saving you from the stress of tangled hair.
4. Add Wig Serum or Leave-In Conditioner: A pea-sized amount of serum keeps wigs silky and reduces tangles. For curly wigs, mousse or curl cream brings back bounce.
5. Brush Before & After Wearing: Brushing before keeps it neat. Brushing after prevents tangling while it’s stored. Always store your wig on a mannequin head or in its satin bag.
6. Avoid Over-Brushing: Too much brushing = shedding. If your wig is already styled (bone straight sleek or defined curls), a quick finger comb may be all it needs.
Final Thoughts: Treat Your Wig Like Your Hair The right brushing routine = longer-lasting wigs, less shedding, better slay moments, and easy preparation. So invest in the right tools, be gentle, and remember, wigs are crowns, not brooms. Handle them with care. Tag us @AccraChic with your wig care hacks, let’s help every queen slay smarter.
