If you don’t have a wig head (or a tri-pod) simply lay your wig on a table or counter.
You may also choose to use a leave-in conditioner, or a product designed specifically for untangling wigs. These products do not need to be diluted in water. On synthetic wigs, you can also try using fabric softener. Just like with conditioner, use 1 part fabric softener to 3 parts water. [4] X Research source
If the wig is very dirty, you can add a squirt of shampoo to the water. If you do this, be sure to rinse the wig with clean water before you begin combing.
If the conditioner begins to separate from the water, give the bottle a shake.
Depending on the length of your wig, this process can take a long time (up to an hour). Be careful not to yank on the wig, as this only makes tangles worse. Instead, carefully comb out each tangle.
If you’re in a hurry, you can use a blow dryer on low heat. Be careful, because it is very easy to damage your wig this way. For best results, allow your wig to air dry.
