Watch me save my synthetic wig from certain death and make my wig look Brand New. This wig was a year old and moved with me to 3 countries. No wonder it looked like a dead cat. After trial and error, I figured out the perfect way to fix any old stiff synthetic wig fast and bring it back to life with some gorgeous curls.
I show you how I detangled this wig, my method for washing synthetic wigs, and how I put the loose waves back in any synthetic wig. Basically, all the steps I take to keep my synthetic wigs soft and beautiful.

If you don't have a steamer then while the hair is damp or wet apply 300-330 degree heat on it using an iron, and the same effects will happen. Synthetic hair is fiber so like clothes it can be flat ironed with water to get the wrinkles and frizziess out of it. It also helps to use silicone mix, it works better than fabric softner to me
I can testify to the water method.
a clothing iron or flat iron?
@@LiveLoveAnime66 clothing iron. Sorry I forgot to mention 🙏 the temperature was medium heat, my synthetic wig looks like 100% human hair. I wish I could post my photos so everyone can see.

Omg you just helped me bring my baby back to life! Because of you I will be able to save all the wigs I have instead of throwing them away
Girll that steamer did some magic!
I know right! All hail the steamer hahahaha
wash: warm water, laundry detergent pod, plain laundry detergent, fabric softener (for the end frizzes) wash in a downward motion to keep straight. Add extra fabric softener for the ends if ended 1:55
Let it dry
straightening + smoothing: steam as you brush through the wig. if you dont have a steam CAREFULLY use an iron as suggested by other commenters 2:50
Just tried this, and blown away by the results. Steamer worked wonders. Finally, a simple, workable solution. No more surfing through videos that don't work. Thank you!
Happy to help!!
Oh my gosh if I can have all the minutes of my life back watching all the other restoration videos. Thank you so much!
I ain’t never seen a restoration video like this. What’s so amazing it was so simple. Just gonna get a steamer is worth it
Thank you this is the first video I have found where the wig was in the same situation as mine and now I can make my look pretty again.
ugh you ate that😩 you’re so pretty
Thank you so much for this video! I just bought a wig for cosplay and it's already a messy nightmare. I'm buying the supplies I need when my paycheck comes and I'm gonna fix it right up!😊
You did a amazing job with that steamer! Looks great!
BY FARR - The BEST wig restoration I've seen! Thank you for this!!
Indeed!
Thank you I have tossed so many of my synthetic hair wigs because I found out just washing them and flat ironing them was lasting on a few days plus I was using regular shampoo and conditioner. I am certainly going to invest in a steamer and try the pods and fabric softener.❤I tried the boiling method myself and that was a disaster.
This was really informative - thank you for also sharing the fails. I think that is as important to know as the successes!
Mad props given to you Queen! Thank you
Amazing video!!!!❤❤❤ I have bought used porcelain dolls for my daughter, and their hair is a mess. Will try this method. Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks. I was getting so frustrated. I’m doing this tonight!
This just absolutely saved my sanity, thank you so much.
I just use a 1” curling iron to redefine the frizzy waves by wrapping sections of hair around the entire closed barrel after clamping down on the tips to smooth them out. A spritz of water helps with smoothing and curling #tfs 😃
That stream treatment was so satisfying
OMG you did a great job on that wig
Wow thanks for sharing will try it amazing transformation 👏 👌
Great idea about the steamer
#SaveAWigSaveACoin. Most painful part of making this video is that I threw away another wig just a few short months before. Knowing that I could have saved it hurts my heart and wallet #CryingInBroke

Omggggg amazing and what is this lip color you have on ♥️♥️?
@@CharmedJai1111 I honestly don't remember i like to mix my lipsticks. so this would probably be NYX exotic mixed with another darker NYX lingerie lipstick. I might have to make a video with my lipstick mixing xD
@@DeeDellimore awesome can't wait to see that thanks a ton hun
This 1000% worked and I’m in shock. Thank you!
Happy it helped!

You got me to subscribe, yea I love synthetic wigs. I can now save my wigs. Just took mine out the garbage. Lol.
Amazing tutorial Thankyou
Great job. Love the extra details.
Thank you, Glad you like it!
Have a cheap wig. I didn't even have it for long but it gets frizzy and knotted with a little movement. Wash it in fabric softener, came out even worst.😭😭
What am I to do? I search UA-cam for videos and found yours. Its already clean and I have a little hand held steamer. Took me hours because the wig was very frizzy, dry and matted.
The steamer is a GOD SEND for cheap synthetic hair. It is now drying looking like I flat ironed it. It looks do shiny and sleek. I will curl it and see how it comes out.
I am loving this technique
This is perfect
happy to hear it helped you!
@@DeeDellimore I would send you pics if I could. The wigs look luke human hair now (I did the same thing to another wig I have). Shiny and silky. They look better than when I bought them. This technique is the best I have seen
Thank you for this I have a wig the back and some of the front has matted I will be doing this
Thank you ,I'm about to start pulling out my wigs for the winter and I neeeeeded this video 😂 thank u

Excellent Job !!! But for curly synthetic wig how I can refresh it ? 😕😕

Amazing girl, gonna try this

You are so welcome!
What’s the stuff you poured in the cup?
OMG 😳😳 thank you so much 🥰
Amazing video: Great filming, great editing, nice not-too-long intro, got straight to the point. Lovely!!
Ps: I love that you show your mistakes too!
Thank you :) mistakes are part of life hahaha
@@DeeDellimore exactly!!🙌🏽
Is it a clothes steamer that you use
Beyond reviving... What do people do with their old wigs ? I have a literal storage bin full and I just don't want them hanging around anymore... Any suggestions !?
Will this method prevent it from future matting?
Love your wig 😍😍
Thank youu!! I love it too hahah the color is so awesome
Thank you so much
What if you don’t have a steamer?
Thanks for sharing u did an amazing job I need to buy a steamer very informative and well explained will this work on kinky curly synthetic wigs
Well you need the right tools to make/ shape the curls otherwise the heat will melt the curls out. Try pencils or straws (not plastic as they will melt)
@@DeeDellimore thanks for responding I will take your advice very good hacks God bless you
I want this wig actually? Where did you get it from by chance? 😭
Wow u did that !
I love your voice shout out from the caribbean🇹🇹❤ new subbie
awhh thank you!!!
Hi from Vancouver BC Canada! Thanks for the video. Can you tell me if there's any way I can fix the permatease of a new cheap wig? Especially if it's along the part... Thanks for any help!
Just created an updated video that helps to easily detangle super matted wigs: ua-cam.com/video/tZDV3Rccgq4/v-deo.html
@@DeeDellimore Much thanks!
omg! Shocked!
Great video. And I don’t even wear wigs 😂
Love this method where did you purchase your steamer?
My mom got this one like 15 years ago in the Caribbean. But I know amazon has some
Thq
Hiya, I have sprayed my synthetic pony tail with water and fabric softener and it feels really horrible now and sticky kind of how can I get it soft and feeling like hair again? Please any recommendations
wash it and steam it
Amazing
Thanks! :)
I don't have a streamer
What's the name of the Worm curled ones????👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆
owww wow i like that keei it up
I don't have money for a streamer and fabric softener I brush through it just have knots in and it is frizz and flyways and static would brushing it is really bad like urs would using wig conditioner work to make it soft
You really need heat. . . Maybe borrow a handheld steamer from someone or use my no heat method on my channel!
@@DeeDellimore alright I don't have the pods ether she is a new wig I found out she was poorly made and I didn't know that when I got her off azmon she was pretty the frist day then the 3 day she looked like urs big knots and tangles and I tried getting out the tangles and knots and she is super long and I can't get them out I tried everything I was told and it didn't work I know that she is a costume wig which is synthetic
sooo... what if you don't have a steamer? how do you get the same results
Check out my no heat method in the pinned comment hope that helps!
i got a straight synthetic wig from ali express and a week ;later its looking frizzy and matted at the front and brushing it is making it worse
Steam is your friend in this
What is the brand of steamer you used?!
I used an industrial one, because my mom used to have a store. but any steamer will work as long as it gets hot enough. I used Jiffy steamer
Thanks, I will be investing in a steamer.
You really should, its a lifesaver
Steaming the hair with rollers in makes them damp. Too much for a synthetic. If cared for and stored properly you won't have those issues. I have a synthetic for a year. Never wash my units, I use dry shampoo. To straighten I use a ceramic flat iron and some Carol's Daughter Mimosa pomade. It makes the hair soooo soft and works great with heat. I recently had to cut ends off a unit Ari 24, she's very curly. I sat in front of my mirror and took my time curly the hair with a 1" curling iron. But to each it's own. But that 45 minutes to comb out...no mam. LOL
I try to care for my synthetics properly but they always seem to frizz and tangle. It seems like I have to defrizz and restyle every few wearings. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
So, what do you do extra for it not to get tangled and frizzy then? How do you store your wig???!
👏👏👏
💟
I soaked my synthetic wig in Downy fabric softener for 15-20 minutes & it fell apart....what did I do wrong?
I can't really say.... never had that happen. maybe too much fabric softner or the construction of the wig was bad
@@DeeDellimore I was shocked that it fell apart... I gave $108 for it on sale. It was a Noriko Roni
Sometimes you have to watch the wig and dip it in and out of the water instead of soaking it
The thing is washing it is what tangled my wig in the first place
When washing only brush or finger comb in 1 direction to minimise tangles. You will always have tangles but this might help
What if I don’t own a steamer ??
I have 2 other videos on other methods but I have to be honest a small handheld steamer is a life saver
Then you won’t be getting these results, duh. That’s the whole point of the video…to show how effective using a steamer is.
Hi Awesome 👏 let’s be super friends ig JosephinaVlogs ❤️ And success to u 2020 vision
I have a 5 foot wig I need to fix up in 4 days. (About to scream)
Too much work for a cheap wig
Just buy another wig !
Amazing girl, gonna try this
Hope it works for you! Also have a new no heat method :)
