Well, bringing back waves in an older wavy lace front wigs is a hell lot easier than you may imagine it to be, provided you go about it the right way. Here's how you can bring those stunning waves back:
- Gently Detangle: Gently detangle your wig. This will avoid causing any tears in the lace or pulling out of the fibers. Be gentle with it to keep the integrity of the wig, most especially if it is of human hair.
- Wash And Condition: Give your wig a fresh wash using sulfate-free shampoo and a deep moisturizing conditioner. This helps remove product buildup, dirt, and oils that can weigh down the waves. After rinsing, gently pat the wig dry with a microfiber towel to avoid frizz.
- Leave-In Conditioner Hydrates: Apply a leave-in conditioner while the wig is still damp or a curl-defining cream to help hydrate the hair, and it will reshape the waves. Place your focus on the mid-lengths and the ends, which usually gets dry sooner than the rest.
- Reshape The Waves: Use a curling wand or rollers to redefine the waves. For a heat-free alternative, section the wig and do braids while it's damp. Let it dry naturally, braid by braid, after which it will have regained its waves once you unbraid it. Avoid overheating by applying a heat protectant if you must use any heat tools. Further, set your heating tool to a low or medium heat setting.
By following these steps, your older wavy lace front wig will regain its texture, volume, and movement and look fresh and lively once again.
