How to rescue a messy Coplay wig

Most people discard a Coplay wig when it has become rather messy. This is really wasteful, especially if a kanekalon wig is abandoned. So, let’s focus on methods of rescuing a messy cosplay wig made from high temperature fiber and kanekalon bellow.

First, let’s look at a messy cosplay wig. Just as the photo shows, it’s been rather jagged and fluffy. There are knots of about 10 centimeters away from the top.

It will be rather difficult to comb it without using any hair detailer. So, just spout a little hair detailer and grab a small fraction of the hair by your left hand. Use your right hand to comb the hair by a steel comb or an anti-static comb from the bottom to the top.

If you meet a big knot, don’t use a scissor instantly. First, drag it by hand to see whether it can become smooth or not. If it becomes smooth, just pull it and comb it by a steel comb.
If it doesn’t become smooth, drag the hair when small fast knots form. Those knots should be as small as possible. Then, cut at the middle of each knot. Don’t put the hair once being cut. Use steel combs to comb it once again until all cut knots stick to the steel comb.

While meeting a handful of knots, don’t use scissor because these knots will easily form while dealing with a wig. If you cut it frequently, the amount of hair will sharply decrease. At this time, just comb smooth hair and place it aside. When there are only a handful of knots on your hand, comb it aside. When there are only a handful of knots on your hand, comb it up to bottom at the place 10 centimeters above the knot. Comb several times and use some strength; it will be smooth.

Then, repeat above two steps continually. In most cases, hair is messy and has fast knots.You can deal with these after grasping above two steps. After making it smooth, you had better to wash the hair. Flush water while combing. Then, wait until it dries.

If possible, use an electric hair straightened, which is the only tool to help a jagged hair become smooth. Before clipping, comb at times and press the top by one hand to avoid it drops down. Go pick up a small handful of hair by another hand and slowly clip it from top to bottom. Use a little force for a smoother look.

Okay, a messy cosplay wig made from high temperature fiber has been restored to the original shape.

This is the finished pattern. The hair bottom has no longer been fluffy. It just feels like a new hair. Then, spout some hair detailer. Pack the hair into a hermetic bag until the hair detailer dries.
