I didn't try washing the old one- I just sprayed wig shine stuff the store gave me on it. I've only worn it a handful of times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/st-addams#post-2340475 Wed, 04 Oct 2023 15:17:03 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2340475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love love love that you did a fun cosplay at the theatre!<div><br /></div><div>I use inexpensive synthetic wigs for costuming - Halloween, cosplay events, theatre. &nbsp;Synthetic wigs can be washed by very gently swirling in a sink with a very little bit of soap. &nbsp;I think I’ve used a few drops of baby shampoo in the past. &nbsp;. &nbsp;I use my fingers to try and detangle the wig before I get it wet. &nbsp;If it’s a smooth wig, I brush it gently with a plastic bristle brush, such as a doll brush. &nbsp;DO NOT COMB OR BRUSH A WET SYNTHETIC WIG. &nbsp;</p> <p>Wearing a wig cap helps keep the wig clean for longer. &nbsp;They’re usually a couple bucks at your locally owned beauty supply store, or you can cut the bottom of the leg off pantyhose and use that.</p> <p>I let the sink drain, and blot it carefully with a smooth t shirt or microfiber towel. &nbsp;I carefully reshape any curls with my fingers, and let it dry flat on a counter. &nbsp;If it’s long hair, I’ll hang it on a towel hook.</p> <p>For styling synthetic wigs, I’ve used warm (not hot!) hot rollers. &nbsp;And I don’t think you’re supposed to do this, but I use a teeny bit of hairspray. &nbsp;These are on cheaper wigs. &nbsp;I haven’t ventured into real hair or expensive synthetic wigs.</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/st-addams#post-2340448 Wed, 04 Oct 2023 11:57:02 +0000 Star (Lise) 2340448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ST I think you treat real hair wigs and synthetic wigs differently, just don't know the details.&nbsp; Cathe said that she prefers synthetic wigs.&nbsp; She had a real hair wig and it need washing and styling, and she did not want the faff.&nbsp; I am not saying you don't ever wash synthetic ones as I really have no clue.&nbsp; Maybe you just wash the tapes or inner stuff.&nbsp; If you mail Cathe directly she will tell you all you need to know, she is a sweetie.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/st-addams#post-2340438 Wed, 04 Oct 2023 10:55:32 +0000 Anonymous 2340438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!<br /> I hadn't considered taking the wigs to a stylist. Hopefully they wouldn't feel insulted- but despite everything they've done, my hair flips up. I hate it so much!! I have not been able to wear it down for over 6 months </p> <p>The blogger with the wigs said this one was not hot at a ball game in 98 degree weather, so that was a big selling point for me. But hopefully by next summer my regular hair will be ok! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/st-addams#post-2340419 Wed, 04 Oct 2023 06:14:04 +0000 Brooklyn 2340419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a fun outfit for a fun night.

I do like the one I currently have, it seems decent quality for the price (think I paid 50$ or 60$). If it didn't itch, I'd wear it more. </p> <p>What are your wig tips Angie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/st-addams#post-2340368 Tue, 03 Oct 2023 17:16:51 +0000 Angie 2340368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suntiger</b>, when I was getting wigs for my Mama - who lost her hair during chemo - I stumbled across two very good tips.
