How to Detangle a Human Hair Wig Safely

Work slowly from ends to roots, section the hair, add slip when appropriate, and support the strands so you are not pulling directly on the cap.

Start dry or lightly damp as appropriate

For straight or loose textures, gentle dry detangling may work. Defined curls often respond better to carefully added moisture and slip. Follow texture-specific care guidance.

Ends first

Hold the section above the tangle and work upward in small increments.

Use the right tool

A wide-tooth comb, detangling brush, or fingers may be appropriate depending on texture. Avoid forcing a fine comb through knots.

Stop if the cap is taking the force

Support the hair near the base so tension is not transferred into knots, lace, or stitching.
