How to Get Tangles Out of a Synthetic Lace Front Wig

Lace front wig is different from full lace wig, which features a base completely constructed from lace base, a lace front wig is constructed from a base featuring a thin lace strip at the hairline alone. The remainder of the wig's base is constructed from hair wefts, which helps the synthetic hair wig more stretchable. If improperly cared for, a synthetic lace front wig will begin to deteriorate quickly, causing it to look worn and inexpensive. Detangle the wig correctly to prevent any unnecessary damage causing.

Things You'll Need:
Wig stand or free-standing paper towel dispenser
Plastic hair clips
Wide-toothed comb or wig brush
Place your synthetic lace front wig on a wig stand or form. If you don't have a wig stand, drape the wig over a free-standing paper towel holder. Supporting the wig this way allows you to access the entire wig and prevents tangles caused by laying the wig flat first.

Divide the wig into 1- to 2-inch sections. Secure each section with a plastic hair clip. If the lace front wig is very tangled, pull apart the knots carefully before dividing the hair into many sections!

Grasp the first section near the front of the wig. Work through each tangle gently with a wide-toothed comb or wig brush. Grasping the top of the section near the root with one hand while working through the tangles helps prevent stress on the lace front base, which keeps it viable longer. Start near the ends and work your way upward toward the roots, if the section is very tangled; comb using downward strokes all the way.

Continue to remove the clips one at a time and gently work out the tangles with a wig brush or wide-toothed comb. once all the clips are removed, Brush through the wig with the wide-toothed comb or wig brush a final time.
