You should leave the wig in the fabric softener/water mixture for a few days. I left one in the mixture for 5 days and it was completely matte afterwards
People sometimes use just fabric softener without water at all but well that's kinda "expensive way" xD I don't think you need exact proportions. Just measure it "by eye" and definitely use more fabric softener than water. It will work anyway so just try. It will soften wig's hair extremely and then if it's still shiny just use baby powder and all done.
I do doll customization sometimes and I've always, no matter the size of the doll or amount of hair, I always use 2 caps full of softener to about a cup of water. Worked every time and I never had the shininess comeback!
Saw that blue wig at a local halloween store and I couldn't believe my eyes at how terrible it looked. Like even the photo that's supposed to market it to look appealing wasn't good.
i have two wigs (one from party city one from walmart) that are the same brand and tbh the party city one is super matte and i took 2 days to remove dutch braids from the walmart (both are shiny and the party city one is weirdly colored)
@@BreeBerzerker Oooh the dollar store would be the perfect place to grab several and see what you can do with them, just for fun! The only thing I'd worry about is whether people have opened them and tried them on. Dollar stores can be ghetto like that lol
If a wig, like these, is not hest resistant, you can use hot and cold water to style it differently. For example, dump hella hot water on a wig to straighten curls and get rid of poof. If you'd like to put in your own curls, use non heat curlers, gently dump cold water on the wig, and allow it to air-dry with the curlers in, and BAM. These wigs were matted but I do think they'd look better had they been restyled.
I'm trying to completely change a cheap wig by getting rid of shine and getting rid of the curls would I pour the hot water on before or after I soaked it in fabric softener
Be careful what fiber the wig is made of! One type of fiber, viscose, high or low quality, will frizz with water! Not sure how common viscose is in these wigs, but better safe than sorry.
Can you use baby powder as well? Sometimes I substitute baby powder for dry shampoo for my own real hair, and I’m wondering if it’ll work for wigs too!
@@littlezorkie9311 Absolutely. :) I’ve always used baby powder and a light coat of hairspray to keep the baby powder on the hair when I didn’t have dry shampoo. You just don’t want to use too much hairspray m, because too much will make the synthetic fibers sticky and hard.
Minori, a shironuri artist. Actually has a tutorial on how she turns not so great wigs into great wigs for shironuri, no shine with letting a cheep shiny wig sit in fabric softner for a week to two weeks.
@@wowyoureadthiscomment1468 Hello sadly I can't find her tutorial, it's from around 2009-2010 or so... and I gave up searching for it. However have no fear, here are my steps on how to deshine your wig. Proceed with caution, I take no account of any mishaps. Warning your wig will lose any style it had previous to deshining. Materials: a bucket, fabric softener, powder (baby powder and eye shadow depending on your wig colour), a comb and of course your shiny wig, cheap or not cheap. Also if you have a sensitive nose, I suggest using a sensitive fragrance free softener. Step one: Get your bucket and fill it up with some water (not till it over flows, but enough to cover your entire wig) also no hot water, because logic) now add 1-2 or 3 caps if it's extremely shiny. And submerge your wig in this mixture entirely, leave over night and check your wig, if it looks like nothing happened leave it in there and check on it again the next day. Depending on how unshiny you want it, this will also tamper with the texture of the wig "hair". The longer you leave it in the more, hard to explain, fluffy\choppy they get. Also the colour of the wig it's self may change depending on how long to leave it in, it will get lighter. Step two: Take your wig out of the bucket. Do not rinse your wig! If you have a drying rack in your bathroom place it over your tub or in your shower and let it drip dry. Ideal is one of those wig stands that let's air reach inside your wig cap, but its not necessary if you don't have one. If you have the desire to untangle your wig (if it's a long wig) I always do so when it's wet so it dries straight and tangle free) Always brush gently from the bottom to the top. Step three: Your wig is now dry and kind of shiny... :\ ( we'll get to the still shiny part in step four) You should now style your wig, tease it curl it whatever look you're going for. Also make sure to try it on so the style is just right on your head. The reason we styled it first is, I just do it that way depending on the style I'm going for, you should try out what's best for you. Especially if you plan on adding something beneath like LEDs or something else fancy. Step four: You've styled it but it's still kind of shiny... :( well there's a simple trick that we can thank our ancestors for, powder. Powder your wig (the colour might change, a black wig will turn grey if you use too much baby powder) whether you use a dry shampoo, baby powder or eye shadow. A little goes a long way, so before you add too much go easy and add as needed. However if it does get too much, just shake or pat it out. (If you powdered first then proceed to style) Step five: Once you're done with powder, fix your style. And go wear that wig! If you have any questions check out a few cosplay sites. I've been doing this for years and have yet to be disappointed, unless I got a really cheap wig and it's the wigs fault. (Like it's too thin, or all the hairs fall out, like a needling Christmas tree) Hope that helped, sorry I couldn't find her tutorial. :(
One of my friends owns a Purple wig with silver Tips. She once showed it to me and it was terrible! She took 0 care of it and just had it hanging around in her closet. It had so many knots in it and i couldnt Brush my Hand through it without getting my hand stuck. The actual sad Part is that it was a pretty Good Quality wig it wasnt like plastic and was realy nice. I fixed it by simply brushing it for a very long time. It turned out so nice! Sadly she still doesnt Take care of it and it is messed up Again.
Herzen Do you know how long you brushed it? I had gotten my first wig and took the worst care of it. I’ve learned my lesson though. Also, was the wig curly?
For that blue wig, i wonder if using a permanent sharpie marker in a darker blue or black colour to add lowlights, or colour the roots or the tips to add dimension.... i might try that this halloween 🎃
@@HoneyCecelia Yeah, when it's wet & (though, it's not 100% necessary) with a wide pick or a comb. If you brush curly hair while it's dry you get the lion mane effect.
this is good for if someone is on a time crunch, like for a convention and they need their wig asap. but i would rather advise to let it soak in the fabric softener/water mixture for more than a day for better results :P
This tutorial is wonderful, thank you. I’m about to buy a wig of amazon for reasonably cheap and wish for the best, and I’ll be sure to use this method to make it look the best I can. You’re an amazing ball of sunshine and colours \o/
Thank you! Last night my daughter bought a red wig to be Kim Possible that was like the blue wig but worse with horrible stringy curls. We followed your directions and it looks amazing (we don’t have particularly high standard either lol). Also from your suggestions she topped it off with a beanie and she’s just walked off to school looking amazing! People will actually recognise her as being Kim Possible now. You wouldn’t believe it’s the same wig. I wish I had before and after photos to show you. So massive thank you for sharing, your video definitely is the best! My daughter had just dyed her hair half pink half yellow too so your comments on dying your hair made me smile. :) thanks for making our day! 💕🎉
the reason why the wigs are "thin but still bushy" is because you brush them so much. Aaaaand you brush top to bottom all at once instead of doing it a little bit at a time, working your way up.
wearing the blue wig before treatment made you look like the anime girl version of a pepsi can lmao all in all, this was a very interesting video and you seem like a nice person- just found out about your channel btw :D
I watched this a while back and now I'm watching it again. I got a couple from walmart (I know it's bad, but they've kind of stepped up their quality a slight bit) and wanted to brush up on how to make it better.
the cheap ones for Halloween and stuff are good for characters that are made to like shiny and fake like if you're trying to be a doll alot of them (usually on the cheaper side) look bad, which could be your goal if you wanna cosplay as one. they're very uncomfortable though
Your nails, girl. I'm so envious. I used to have nice nails like that but now I can't seem to get them strong enough to grow long. And I love your hair.
five or six years ago i got one of those disney brand child-size wigs except it was rapunzel instead of ariel. the wig cap was a solid piece of woven fabric with an elastic band around the edge which made it SO uncomfortable to wear and it tangled (ha) really easily. when you pulled out the ariel one i was SO worried for you that it was gonna be the same situation, but it looks like disney's improved their kids' wigs a bit since then.
Ugh I'm only 10 minutes in and already love you!!! Will you please please do more wig vidoes I think its so cool and I seriously love your personality 😁😁
You can style "not heat-resistant" wigs with a fabric steamer. You can also stack and sew multiple wigs to improve the thickness of the hair. Jaymes Mansfield just recently did a video on styling costume wigs.
I tried using baby powder to take away shine in my Black Widow wig, and it worked great. It feels feels crunchy like a bag of Doritos but it's much, much better than before.
The baby powder seems to be worth applying but it''s not quite clear how this should be done. Could you give any tips on how to dust the powder on without getting overdone patches?
John Pereira dry shampoo works just as well and you don't end up with powder all over the room. If you are going to use baby powder with minimal mess, pour the powder into a lidded container, put the wig in the container, place lid on the container, shake gently. let sit for awhile so the powder settles, take it outside to open it, take the wig out of the box and shake out the excess powder over the box, then brush and style appropriately. this way, you don't end up with powder all over your house. 😎
honestly this is the first video ive seen by you and i saw your eyebrows and hair and instantly subscribed bc jfc you are such an adorable human being and then i really really liked the video on top of it
I like the baby powder method when customizing dolls mostly because it makes it super soft and they smell amazing without having to put any oil inside.
Also you’re a live saver, I am going to a huge Halloween party and these tips, literally saved my wigs, except the one I got a while back. It’s just dead now
That Ariel wig is "bushy at the ends" because you raked through it with a huge brush. Most styled/curled synthetic wigs don't react well to being aggressively brushed.
YOU DID IT!! CONGRATS!! YOU WON THE UA-cam ALGORITHM GAME!! But seriously, I subscribed. This video was ahead of its time. I literally had no idea that it was 2+ years old. I literally thought "what's up with the charm necklace and toys on the self" and then my eyes lowered to the charm necklace I had just made YESTERDAY (as a full 24 year old lady and granted I was babysitting when I started it) and I literally have Disney Princess stickers on the wall next to my bed. AND THEN as I went to look up your social media I realized you only have like 7.5k subs?! WILD. Tldr. I like yo style. Please upload again 😊
The Ariel wig looks pretty good tbh,like the curl and look make it look really pretty and you could probably wear it down in general or public.Personally red wigs don't look great on me if they aren't cosplay,but for someone who could pull off ginger, that could be a look 👌
A few other tips are you can buy two wigs, cut one of the wefts out and sew it into the other for volume and you should brush the wig from tip to root (no brush up just work ur way to the roots) to avoid tangles
I was about to put the tip in about baby powder! I collect about a dozen different types of doll, all in the 15" to 6" range, most 1/6th scale. I have about 50 dolls all told waiting to be rerooted right now, some to sell but most to keep. Glad to have found your channel!
Any Walmart/Target wig die in like 2 weeks. Lenmme explain at my school we did a thing for breast cancer awareness month. So every Friday was called “pink Friday” wear you would wear as much pink as possible and you could bring in money like 1-5 dollars and the school would donate it. I went over the top and i boy that and entire pink outfit head to toe when i said head i meant wig.(obviously). I wore that every Friday for a month by November 1st it was dead complete tangled Oy vey.
When using fabric softener I leave the wigs in a sink full of a mixture of mostly water and fabric softener , I leave it in there from 30 min to an hour , then quickly rinse it with water and leave them to dry overnight which I find the rinse stops any greasiness occurring :0 I’d suggest trying it sometime !
I know people are saying don't brush curls like this, but I don't even brush wigs like that. I may only use cheap Amazon wigs, but I only ever use an afro comb on my wigs as it doesn't knot them or tear out lots of fibres.
I used to have a pixie cut and got two wigs on Amazon. Both were under $20, although I had to purchase and sew in extensions for the longer one which ended up being that one up to $35. Dry shampoo works amazingly well to take the shine out of wigs and give them more lifelike texture. I personally prefer the Not Your Mother's tapioca dry shampoo that I got for about $5 at Wal-Mart, as it's cruelty free. I wore my shorter wig out to a male burlesque show on Mother's Day two years ago and people (who didn't know me and my pixie hair) were surprised to find out that wasn't my real hair.
I found your channel on my school computer and your cool :3 I love pastel fashion so much and your just so nice. I wish I can meet you in real life! I also love MLP :D
I always wash them once with mild detergent and then only use fabric softener after that to keep it detangled. The detergent permanently removes the shine
Hey girl! I buy cheap wigs on eBay/Amazon/wish etc. and I buy from Walmart and Halloween stores, too and I follow your tips as well as style them with heat. I think you’re supposed to keep the heat under 120 degrees. I apply heat protectant to the hair and I put my iron on the lowest it can go and fiddle with the wigs until I like them. Usually I’ll straighten them as much as possible and then curl them the way I like.
You should leave the wig in the fabric softener/water mixture for a few days. I left one in the mixture for 5 days and it was completely matte afterwards

@@idishi6 if they're wet. You shouldn't brush curly hair period if it's dry.

If you are going to use baby powder with minimal mess, pour the powder into a lidded container, put the wig in the container, place lid on the container, shake gently. let sit for awhile so the powder settles, take it outside to open it, take the wig out of the box and shake out the excess powder over the box, then brush and style appropriately. this way, you don't end up with powder all over your house. 😎

It’s just cornstarch. You can put it in a salt shaker. Same trick works as an applicator for dry shampoo
honestly this is the first video ive seen by you and i saw your eyebrows and hair and instantly subscribed bc jfc you are such an adorable human being and then i really really liked the video on top of it
I like the baby powder method when customizing dolls mostly because it makes it super soft and they smell amazing without having to put any oil inside.
I usually deal with shine by washing my wigs with my own shampoo and conditioner, let it dry overnight, and then add baby-powder/dry shampoo.
Also you’re a live saver, I am going to a huge Halloween party and these tips, literally saved my wigs, except the one I got a while back. It’s just dead now
that ariel wig is shockingly good right out of the bag
I really dont like yellow hair...but somehow, you have made me love it 😂😛
I recommend baby powder or cheap finishing powder from the drug store! It takes that shine right out
I love wigs for literally no reason. I’m definite doing this to my cheap wig lol
That Ariel wig is "bushy at the ends" because you raked through it with a huge brush. Most styled/curled synthetic wigs don't react well to being aggressively brushed.
i love ur "natural" hair aa
Nothin' natural about it! But it does look mad cute~
@@firegodessreiko oh, i forgot about that ^^;
The fabric softener has never worked for me but thank you so much on the baby powder tip!
*clicks tutorial video to do on Halloween
Me: *sees cutest person on the planet
Tbh i liked the blue wig before. I would have used it if i was cosplaying as some charakter with Pearly hair.
you low key slayed that blue wig girlie
Hair + yellow = I LOVE IT!!!
AAA thank you so much !! I miss the yellow ^^;
FINNALLY!!! A WIG VID ADHD ME CAN GET INTOOOO
Omg Carebear plushies!! I used to have like 20 of them!! Your background is taking me back to my child hood lol
YOU DID IT!! CONGRATS!! YOU WON THE UA-cam ALGORITHM GAME!!
But seriously, I subscribed. This video was ahead of its time. I literally had no idea that it was 2+ years old. I literally thought "what's up with the charm necklace and toys on the self" and then my eyes lowered to the charm necklace I had just made YESTERDAY (as a full 24 year old lady and granted I was babysitting when I started it) and I literally have Disney Princess stickers on the wall next to my bed.
AND THEN as I went to look up your social media I realized you only have like 7.5k subs?! WILD.
Tldr. I like yo style. Please upload again 😊
The Ariel wig looks pretty good tbh,like the curl and look make it look really pretty and you could probably wear it down in general or public.Personally red wigs don't look great on me if they aren't cosplay,but for someone who could pull off ginger, that could be a look 👌
😮😍 I LOOOOOOVE YOUR HAIR!!! AND THE CONTRAST WITH YOUR EYEBROWS! 😍😍😍
Love your hair, your necklace, your room, and especially love those glasses!
My heart skipped a beat when I saw you in that Ariel wig, you’re so beautiful!!!!
A few other tips are you can buy two wigs, cut one of the wefts out and sew it into the other for volume and you should brush the wig from tip to root (no brush up just work ur way to the roots) to avoid tangles
I knew she was going to use the baby powder. Thank you for answering my prayers. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your lovely eyebrows made me happy. Idk why but they do the job in me :)
The shiny blue wig you could use for a sally face cosplay
That aspect ratio is so aesthetic
I'm saving this video for future reference to up my Halloween game
The blue wig is brighter than my future
I was about to put the tip in about baby powder! I collect about a dozen different types of doll, all in the 15" to 6" range, most 1/6th scale. I have about 50 dolls all told waiting to be rerooted right now, some to sell but most to keep. Glad to have found your channel!
I’m so late to ur channel but ilysm 😭
I have cosplayed as sal fisher from sally face with, a party city blue wig, It wasn't obviously a good wig but, I managed to do it :)
Any Walmart/Target wig die in like 2 weeks. Lenmme explain at my school we did a thing for breast cancer awareness month. So every Friday was called “pink Friday” wear you would wear as much pink as possible and you could bring in money like 1-5 dollars and the school would donate it. I went over the top and i boy that and entire pink outfit head to toe when i said head i meant wig.(obviously). I wore that every Friday for a month by November 1st it was dead complete tangled Oy vey.
When using fabric softener I leave the wigs in a sink full of a mixture of mostly water and fabric softener , I leave it in there from 30 min to an hour , then quickly rinse it with water and leave them to dry overnight which I find the rinse stops any greasiness occurring :0 I’d suggest trying it sometime !
The Ariel wig doesn’t look bad at all. Lol wow The blue wig is soooo shiny!!! I like the bang though.
I know people are saying don't brush curls like this, but I don't even brush wigs like that. I may only use cheap Amazon wigs, but I only ever use an afro comb on my wigs as it doesn't knot them or tear out lots of fibres.
I used to have a pixie cut and got two wigs on Amazon. Both were under $20, although I had to purchase and sew in extensions for the longer one which ended up being that one up to $35. Dry shampoo works amazingly well to take the shine out of wigs and give them more lifelike texture. I personally prefer the Not Your Mother's tapioca dry shampoo that I got for about $5 at Wal-Mart, as it's cruelty free. I wore my shorter wig out to a male burlesque show on Mother's Day two years ago and people (who didn't know me and my pixie hair) were surprised to find out that wasn't my real hair.
I found your channel on my school computer and your cool :3 I love pastel fashion so much and your just so nice. I wish I can meet you in real life! I also love MLP :D
It’s so scary to me that this video is old to me, and yet it was posted in 2017. It’s nearly 2024 and 2017 feels like two years ago, not nearly seven!
I'M LOVE? THIS IS YOUR FIRST VID THAT I'VE SEEN AND YOU ARE JUST??? SO PRETTY???
THE WAY TOO WONDERLAND APPLE!
I always wash them once with mild detergent and then only use fabric softener after that to keep it detangled. The detergent permanently removes the shine
This is perfect. Now I can finally cosplay with a cheap wig
Hey girl! I buy cheap wigs on eBay/Amazon/wish etc. and I buy from Walmart and Halloween stores, too and I follow your tips as well as style them with heat. I think you’re supposed to keep the heat under 120 degrees. I apply heat protectant to the hair and I put my iron on the lowest it can go and fiddle with the wigs until I like them. Usually I’ll straighten them as much as possible and then curl them the way I like.
WOW! You made them look like real hair!
