5 years and you still helped ppl like me. I'm new to cosplaying and have a cheap wig, I was planning to buy a quite expensive one since my wig is tangled up. Saw this and it worked, thanks a lot!
At first I thought I had done the wrong way to comb the wig because it looked SUPER ugly when wet, but after it dried it looked much better and super beautiful, I loved the tutorial
Thank you ever so much I'm a young drag performer and Its been an absolute nightmare with these wigs they are VERY hard to maintain so this helped a lot
@@aaeszpr alrighty, my update is, 🙁 for me it did not work. i ended up trashing the wig because i am literally so ass at having patience, i’m sure this works? obviously but :/ for me it didnt
Thank you ur saving my life cause it's my first ever wig and I got it from my best friend and it's rly pretty but the head looks kind of weird like a little monster and it's ALSO a Miku wig so I'm gonna try it today and I'll write in an edit how it turned out! 😊
i started having a mental breakdown tonight when i saw the disaster my miku wig was.. i looked at two tutorials and they seem similar. hope this works 😢
yes omg tysm i have a miku wig myself and im supposed to wear it to a dance in a few weeks and it is so frizzy and tangled… and ya so imma try this thx:D
I'm actually doing an update of this video ASAP! How funny c: Heat protectant is not necessary, I've literally never used it. Some wigs don't hold up to heat but I've never run into issues and I've done it to ever cheap wig I've bought on Amazon!
Extremely late here! Sooo I have to ask, would this fix a super frizzy pigtail? I wanna do a bunch of different miku cosplays, and I have the wig, but one pigtail is all frizzy 😬
I know I'm probably super super late to this video but i absolutely NEED to k ow asap but since i don't have a wire wig brush or comb..........can i use a regular comb?
@xCanadensis thanks, but all things considered my cosplay wig is about 2 years old bought from a local Walmart around Halloween and so far the wig isn't in horrible rats nest tangled shape but on the ends slightly
And it's only tangled around the ends of the hair. And since it's been dead and I was asking if a comb would work. Cause I don't have everything that you listed in the video. So for the ends is a comb OK?
Super late but would a dog detangler spray work too? Instead of horse detangler? And would it work if i put it in a steaming hot bath tub instead of a boiling pot? Thank you, i have con in two days so i cant order stuff 🫣
I might be *very* late, but my pigtails keep slipping. They're clips. Ik Halloween is coming up so maybe people will come for this vid for advice for their costumes or cosplay! But HOW DO I GET THEM TO STOP SLIPPING-
Hmm.. some people swear by fabric softener but I don’t think it does much at all. If a wig needs washed I just take it in the shower with me and shampoo it in there (and rinse A TON!!) The boiling water interacts with the plastic to make it soft again and you can condition if you want it extra silky 😁
I'm here bcs I found an old wig I lended to a friend One Time and saw just how horribly he treated it in the one day he wore it. thank you 🙏🙏 it's been sitting in the bag for like 3 years and the poor girl needs a bath
Ahhh sorry! It's called "Mane n' Tail"! Here's a link to the exact product! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TG84B2 Hope this helps! I'm going to be updating this video soon since it's old and not the best!
Omg I love this comment ahaha! I have several. I usually use my American Girl doll brushes because I’m lazy. If you’re in a hurry and can’t order online- I highly recommend running by Target and looking in the doll section. They have metal brushes in the bootleg American girl doll section! I currently use a different brush that BODIES the ones in this video and it’s his one: Annie Premium Wire Wig Brush #2106 www.amazon.com/dp/B07DGNJRY6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_yVn-Fb82MNP6F?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It depends :( unfortunately you have to try it to find out. I’ve used it on many Amazon wigs (such as the one in this video) and I’ve never had one get damaged. Just never touch the hair to the metal pot. If you want to be extra cautious you can cut off a piece and put it in first to see if it melts at all!
Any hair spray will keep them nice but they won't flow like normal hair without Mane n Tail or a similar product. I do use hair spray as well if I'm not doing something where I want the hair to move
Plastic bristles (that many combs and hairbrushes have) will cause friction and pull on the fibers in the wig. This is what makes wigs have "fried" ends and makes them more easily frizz. You can do it, especially if the wig is not knotted but I don't recommend it
Normal conditioner works too!! It's not preferred because it can feel a lil greasy but if you brush conditioner through after you boil the wig, it has the same effect :)

This is an exception with my videos haha I’m glad you liked this format!
5 years late
Thank you this helped tons my junko wig is tangled and this was a great tutorial
extremely late but i’m cosplaying miku for the first time next weekend and this really helped!! thank you sm ^o^

3 years late but this will be very handy for when my wigs come, thank youuu new subscriber
2 years late, but my long pink wig is SUPER tagled!!!!
sooo howd it go
Tigi after party is really good if you need a lot of silky movement. I’ve been using it on my actual hair for like nearly 20 years
Could I use:
-spray oil
-hairbrush
Because it’s the only thing I’m allowed to use.
All Ik is dont use a normal brush
Maybe try a wide comb
im gonna try this when i get home!! I hope this can fix my tangled robin (hsr) wig
This is some really good advice because I also have a Miku wig that is tangled so I’m going to dip in hot water and spray wig conditioner on it.
YOU LITERALLY SAVED MY LIFE😭🫶🏾
I did this tut in my hu tao cos... Ik it's been past 5yrs, but I never regretted watching this.
Hopefully this,will help for,my mitsuri from demon slayer wig I'm mostly trying to figure out how to straighten it
Aw good luck!! I LOVE fixing wigs and I never have to replace my wigs thanks to boiling! It's so simple but it's not very intuitive!
Hello! I just got my miku wig today and have been trying to style it for an hour....
Will a plastic hairbrush still work? Thanks :)
It’s not a great idea but you can use plastic brushes. In my experiences they just make the frizz worse unfortunately :(
Oh okay! Thank you! :)
i almost cried when my miku wig got heavily tangled, i hope this works oh my god
Did it work? :-)
@@Witchyx3 ah! i haven’t been able to do it yet 😭 when i get around to it i’ll be sure to tell you lmaooo

Does it still work if u don’t have a wig brush?
yes omg tysm i have a miku wig myself and im supposed to wear it to a dance in a few weeks and it is so frizzy and tangled… and ya so imma try this thx:D
Hi so this is 2 years later but is it okay if i don’t have the heat protector?

It should! Worth a shot
Do you need fabric softener or is that optional
Do not use fabric softener in synthetic hair! Very bad for it
@@xCanadensis ty for advise ( I don’t have the wig yet)
I’m Using this tip for my friends douma wig, btw the tip worked!!
Ahhh I’m glad!! It really is simple, it makes me sad to think about how many wigs get tossed :(
I know I'm probably super super late to this video but i absolutely NEED to k ow asap but since i don't have a wire wig brush or comb..........can i use a regular comb?
You can. It’s just more likely to do damage
@xCanadensis thanks, but all things considered my cosplay wig is about 2 years old bought from a local Walmart around Halloween and so far the wig isn't in horrible rats nest tangled shape but on the ends slightly
And it's only tangled around the ends of the hair. And since it's been dead and I was asking if a comb would work. Cause I don't have everything that you listed in the video. So for the ends is a comb OK?

Super late but would a dog detangler spray work too? Instead of horse detangler? And would it work if i put it in a steaming hot bath tub instead of a boiling pot? Thank you, i have con in two days so i cant order stuff 🫣
Boiling water is the only thing that will make a big difference but you can use any kind of detangler!
I might be *very* late, but my pigtails keep slipping. They're clips. Ik Halloween is coming up so maybe people will come for this vid for advice for their costumes or cosplay! But HOW DO I GET THEM TO STOP SLIPPING-
When you clip them to the wig, go through the wig net and clip them to your actual hair ( i do flattened side buns underneath the wig)
@@xCanadensis thank you!!
HOW.
hey, just wondering, i over crimped my wig and was wondering if this would kind of like “uncrimp” it?
Yep! If you heat crimped you can use a straightener if you’re careful (fast and get it wet first- LOW setting)
I’m really late but do I need to use soap to wash it and if I do is tide ok to use?
Hmm.. some people swear by fabric softener but I don’t think it does much at all. If a wig needs washed I just take it in the shower with me and shampoo it in there (and rinse A TON!!)
The boiling water interacts with the plastic to make it soft again and you can condition if you want it extra silky 😁

wait what if i dont have a metal brush-
Sorry for commenting again, but would I be able to use any brush with metal bristles?
Ahhh sorry I poofed - yes! It’s just important that they’re metal ☺️
@@xCanadensis thank you!
I’m doing a miku cosplay too
Sorry I keep coming back, but does the water need to be hot? And am I able to do this with just a long wig
Ahhh don’t apologize! Happy to help :) it needs to be boiling! The heat is what saves the wig
I can't understand English well, do You use hot water?;;
I have fear that my wig get more tangled;;
100 degrees C
My friend did my Mikan wig but I needed this because she tangled it on purpose and
I kind of just want to change it
I looveeeee youuuuu thank you smmmm so cutee ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
what did you say you were spraying it down with??? i cant understand.
Ahhh sorry! It's called "Mane n' Tail"! Here's a link to the exact product! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TG84B2
Hope this helps! I'm going to be updating this video soon since it's old and not the best!
@@xCanadensis it’s okay. i’m just stupid. thank you so much for responding!!! i really appreciate it. i love this video.
How did you hang the wig on the wall?
I held it with one hand and brushed with the other hand!
Have the same exact wig ty for This
What if it’s not heat resistant?
hi !! could you also use a shower / wide tooth comb ? :O
The water needs to be boiling for the magic to work but that wouldn't hurt your wig by any means
I know I’m two years late, but where did you get your brush?
Omg I love this comment ahaha!
I have several. I usually use my American Girl doll brushes because I’m lazy. If you’re in a hurry and can’t order online- I highly recommend running by Target and looking in the doll section. They have metal brushes in the bootleg American girl doll section!

@@xCanadensis tysm!
This is my last question, but would it ruin an Amazon wig?
It depends :( unfortunately you have to try it to find out. I’ve used it on many Amazon wigs (such as the one in this video) and I’ve never had one get damaged. Just never touch the hair to the metal pot. If you want to be extra cautious you can cut off a piece and put it in first to see if it melts at all!
@@xCanadensis thank you! I will be doing this tomorrow, this really helps!
Subbed
Thank you!
I’m to young to use the stove🗿
What else do I do if I don’t have main and tail
I can dress up tmr for an event and a ponytail is so tangled
I’m 4 years late but how hot should I heat the water?
Depends on the wig. Boiling works well in my experience but if your wig seems heat sensitive, then don’t try to use the water right before boil
Would any hair spray work?
Any hair spray will keep them nice but they won't flow like normal hair without Mane n Tail or a similar product. I do use hair spray as well if I'm not doing something where I want the hair to move
NO WAY ONLY 15 BUCKS…? ON AMAZON? can u put the link plsss?

Normal conditioner works too!! It's not preferred because it can feel a lil greasy but if you brush conditioner through after you boil the wig, it has the same effect :)
