[2025] How to fix cheap wigs? 5 minutes to revive your wig

Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to gently remove tangles. Start from the end and work your way up to avoid breakage.

Customize your affordable wig to fit your face shape. Trim bangs, layers, or excess length using sharp scissors.

If your cheap wigs are heat-resistant, you can use a flat iron, curling iron, or hairdryer on low heat to reshape it. Be cautious with synthetic wigs that are not heat-friendly.

• Wash the wig: Use a wig-specific shampoo or a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to clean it. Fill a basin with cool water, add shampoo, and gently swirl the wig.
• Condition the fibers: Apply a small amount of conditioner, focusing on the ends. Avoid the roots, as the conditioner can loosen synthetic fibers.
• Dry it properly: Gently squeeze out excess water and let the cheap wigs air dry on a wig stand. Avoid wringing or using high heat.

• Pluck the hairline: For lace front wigs, use tweezers to pluck hairs along the hairline to create a more natural look.
• Apply concealer or foundation: Dab a little makeup along the lace part to match your skin tone.
• Cut baby hairs: Trim short hairs around the hairline to mimic a natural hairline.

• Reduce synthetic shine: Sprinkle a small amount of dry shampoo or baby powder onto the synthetic cheap wigs and brush it through. This will dull the overly shiny appearance common in synthetic cheap wigs.
• Make human hair cheap wigs better: For human hair wigs, spread a small amount of essential oil on your hands and then apply it to the ends of your hair to keep it smooth and shiny and reduce tangles and flyaways. In addition, using a hot comb or flat iron to slightly heat the roots of your hair can make the parting line neater and cleaner and improve the glossiness of your hair.

• Secure your cheap wigs: Use wig clips, combs, or an adjustable band to ensure the wig stays snug on your head.
• Cap and wig grip: Wear a wig cap or grip underneath to prevent slipping.

• Add texture: Use braids, twists, or updos to make your cheap wigs look more realistic.
• Accessorize: Incorporate hats, headbands, or scarves to blend your cheap wigs into your style seamlessly.

• Store it properly: Keep your cheap wigs on a wig stand or mannequin head when not in use to maintain its shape.
• Avoid heat and friction: Prevent tangling by not wearing the wig against rough materials or in high-heat environments.

With some effort and creativity, you can transform a cheap wig into a fabulous piece that complements your look!
