Rough procedure
- Unravel the entire hair with your hands.
- Use a hair iron to lightly straighten the hair.
- Brush with a coarse brush.
- Block and straighten hair firmly with a hair iron
- Occasionally use a fine-tooth brush to loosen tangles
- Finished!
Now, let's get started!
Procedure in detail
1. While unraveling the entire hair, roughly run a hand comb through the hair.
At this point, there is no need to forcefully untangle the hair. It is fine to just roughly loosen it.
2. Stretch the hair lightly with a hair iron heated to 150°C. There is no need to straighten the hair.
There is no need to straighten the hair. It is OK to give heat to tangled fibers.
Brush with a coarse brush.
It is OK if there are still tangles! There is no need to try to force the tangles out.
Block the hair.
Once the hair can be brushed through, start blocking the hair. â- Since you will be unraveling hair little by little, it will be smoother if you unravel hair from the inner part of the hair rather than the surface.
5. Use a hair iron to straighten the hair.
Take a small section of hair and iron it carefully. At this time, the fewer bunches you have, the easier it will be to straighten. â
6. Run a fine-tooth brush through the hair to untangle tangles.
Repeat steps 4 to 6, but do your best! The key is to block the hair as finely as possible.
If you can't get rid of the tangles, don't force it. It may take courage, but it is surprisingly unnoticeable if it is only partial.
7. Apply Nivea or wig spray to make it smooth and silky, and you are done!

**This method cannot be used on tangled wigs, so be careful!
What to prepare
- Wavy wig
- A pot
- Hot water
- Brush
â– Rough procedure
- Soak the wig in 80 to 90°C hot water
- Wait 1 minute
- Run a brush through the wig
- Dry naturally
- Finished!
Now, let's get started!
Procedure in detail
1. Hold the top of the wig and soak it in 80-90℃ hot water.
If the wig is tangled, untangle it first.
2. Wait 1 minute so that the heat is spread over the entire wig.
After 1 minute, pull the wig straight up and let it cool while brushing through it.
When brushing, start from the ends of the hair. If you brush from the roots, the hair will get tangled.
Allow to dry naturally to prevent the hair from becoming frizzy.
You don't need to iron the entire hair to achieve beautifully straight hair!
Extra: How to make wigs less likely to tangle
Is there any way to make wigs less likely to tangle in the first place? In response to this request, here are some ideas to make wigs less likely to tangle.
Idea #1: Fasten wigs with clips, etc. except for photo shoots.
Tangling is caused by rubbing against your body or clothes! By frequently fastening your hair with a clip or similar device when not shooting, you can prevent tangles before they happen.
Idea #2: Start from the tips of the hair when combing.
Even wigs that are not too tangled can become tangled if combed from the root! When combing, be sure to comb from the ends of the hair.
Idea #3: Boldly reduce the amount of hair
One of the causes of tangling is too much hair. If you are not good at combing, you can boldly cut the hair from the root!
*If your wig is light-colored, be careful not to let it show through.
Idea #4: Be creative in the way you store your wigs.

Just by devising a way to carry your wigs, you can greatly reduce the tangling of your wigs.
Idea #5: Clean used wigs before storing them.
Simply by keeping used wigs somewhat clean and tidy before putting them away in the changing room or when unpacking, you can reduce the risk of wigs exploding into a big explosion level. It's honestly a hassle ......, but let's be a little more conscious of this for our future selves... ♪
