Hello there!

For a wig that is frizzy at the ends, you are going to need a combination of two things: heats, to manipulate the fibers back into place, and something flat, which will hold the fibers in that position while they cool. A lot of people have luck with using a flatiron at a low temperature to straighten the fibers back out -- here’s a tutorial for that. If you use boiling water, be sure to also go back and use something to hold the fibers in place while they dry and cool, so that you don’t end up setting the fibers into a position where they are still frizzy or tangled. Be sure to fully detangle the wig /before/ adding any sort of heat or water to it.

Some wigs may be too far gone for this method to work, and in that case, trimming the ends off is your only real option, though you can get good results using heat and pressure.

Hope that helps! Good luck :]

Tail Defrizzing

I recently realized I don’t have a good example of defrizzing hair or removing tail rust. A friend had left her Baby Dibbles at my house to be given a bleach bath so she could finish the restoration herself. But, this is what happens when you leave ponies around me-- they’ll get cleaned up and fixed if you wanted it or not! I yanked out the tail and made sure to photograph the progress of fixing it up.

TAF Sundance- Restoration

Cleaning a pony with color changing hair is a tricky endeavor; if you get soap anywhere near that color changing stripe, you’re likely to strip it and it’ll never work again. Unfortunately, that UV reactive hair tends to frizz and get in the worst shape of any pony hair I’ve ever seen. Luckily, I’ve worked out a way to fix it without damaging the color changing properties!

This Sundance was warped to the point of being unable to stand on her own as well as covered in several layers of grime and crayon marks. Her hair was the typical frizzy mess, with the white stripes being the worst.

She received a good bath, had her legs straightened so she stands properly, and her hair was washed/de-frizzed. She looks so much better now!

I hate this.

Okay, so I have this blonde, long, curly, prosthetic wig with gorgeous bangs.

I got it as a fluke from eBay. It was supposed to be silver. I'm over it, though, because they let me keep the wig, AND gave me a refund. It's all good there.

The problem: Styling this friggin' thing is a pain in the ass. The curls. God, the CURLS. I left it alone for a while, just combing through it with my fingers. Y'know, following all the directions on curly, prosthetic wigs that I've ever been given in my entire life. I gave up tonight, though. It pissed me off.

So I took to the internet, and found a brilliant woman. She's my new wig HERO. So, praying to the wig gods, I ran around my house, grabbing a curling iron, leave-in conditioner, a spray bottle, and my wig brush.

SUCCESS. It looks gorgeous, after nearly two hours of hoping, nearly crying, and almost ruining my wig. It's been so traumatic. I'm going back to my other wigs. The ones that don't really need to be styled for than once or twice.

This one? I have to style it EVERY SINGLE TIME that I wear it. It's awful, but I can't bear the thought of getting rid of it. The wig was just so frizzy this time... It's so much thinner after my original attempts... Luckily, it was already a really thick wig (like, abnormally so). Now, it's closer to my other longer wigs. Still quite a bit of hair, but not so much that it weighs me down.
