I have a con in 3 days and my wig is 130 cm long (reaches my hips) and IDK HOW TO KEEP I FROM TANGLING. It's a tangled mess and I'm flipping the flip out. Help me please.
These are kinda quick so if any of these sound like they'll work for you, a quick google search should yield full tutorials.
Silicone or oil sheen spray: usually used for ethnic hair and horse manes, the oil/silicone coats the fibers and makes them slippery, making it less likely to tangle. Also, if the fiber does tangle, it's much easier to finger-comb the hair back into place.
Tiny rubber bands: section the hair into 5-20 even sections (make sure to start each section at the top and separate downwards, don't just gather sections from the bottom of the wig) and add a small hair elastic 3-4 inches from the bottom of each section. This is the most "visible" way, but also works like a charm for otherwise unmanageable wigs. I did this with my 48" Sohryu wig.
Lotion: mix up a solution of lotion and water, then spray it on. Works similarly to the oil sheen spray but easier to make with household items. This does weigh down the wig, but that's sort of the point.
As a side note, I also make a ~8 inch long loose braid with the hair at the very nape of the neck because that bit tends to turn into a rat's nest after a long day of wear no matter how you treat it.
Admittedly I don't do long wigs very often, but that's what I've done when I have.
