What ratio of fabric softener to water do you use?

I want to hear the ratio too

People sometimes use just fabric softener without water at all but well that's kinda "expensive way" xD I don't think you need exact proportions. Just measure it "by eye" and definitely use more fabric softener than water. It will work anyway so just try. It will soften wig's hair extremely and then if it's still shiny just use baby powder and all done.

I do doll customization sometimes and I've always, no matter the size of the doll or amount of hair, I always use 2 caps full of softener to about a cup of water. Worked every time and I never had the shininess comeback!

@@nat.b7396 HELL YEA WERE EVERYWHERE.

i have two wigs (one from party city one from walmart) that are the same brand and tbh the party city one is super matte and i took 2 days to remove dutch braids from the walmart (both are shiny and the party city one is weirdly colored)

They had them at the dollar store this year lol

LED Ghosty that photo looks so obviously photoshopped, shiny and pretty gross.

@@BreeBerzerker Oooh the dollar store would be the perfect place to grab several and see what you can do with them, just for fun! The only thing I'd worry about is whether people have opened them and tried them on. Dollar stores can be ghetto like that lol

Aaaaa very true!! I've even found that hot water is more effective at setting curls than curling tools in some situations

yasss boilwashing!!

I'm trying to completely change a cheap wig by getting rid of shine and getting rid of the curls would I pour the hot water on before or after I soaked it in fabric softener

Be careful what fiber the wig is made of! One type of fiber, viscose, high or low quality, will frizz with water! Not sure how common viscose is in these wigs, but better safe than sorry.

Road Work Ahead Lmao

Uh, yea, I sure hope it does

Road Work Ahead, uh yeah I sure hope it does

Uh, yeah, i sure hope it does

I thought the same, you can't brush those kind of wig if they are dry

@@idishi6 if they're wet. You shouldn't brush curly hair period if it's dry.

Love you!

@@wowyoureadthiscomment1468 Hello sadly I can't find her tutorial, it's from around 2009-2010 or so... and I gave up searching for it. However have no fear, here are my steps on how to deshine your wig. Proceed with caution, I take no account of any mishaps. Warning your wig will lose any style it had previous to deshining. Materials: a bucket, fabric softener, powder (baby powder and eye shadow depending on your wig colour), a comb and of course your shiny wig, cheap or not cheap. Also if you have a sensitive nose, I suggest using a sensitive fragrance free softener. Step one: Get your bucket and fill it up with some water (not till it over flows, but enough to cover your entire wig) also no hot water, because logic) now add 1-2 or 3 caps if it's extremely shiny. And submerge your wig in this mixture entirely, leave over night and check your wig, if it looks like nothing happened leave it in there and check on it again the next day. Depending on how unshiny you want it, this will also tamper with the texture of the wig "hair". The longer you leave it in the more, hard to explain, fluffy\choppy they get. Also the colour of the wig it's self may change depending on how long to leave it in, it will get lighter. Step two: Take your wig out of the bucket. Do not rinse your wig! If you have a drying rack in your bathroom place it over your tub or in your shower and let it drip dry. Ideal is one of those wig stands that let's air reach inside your wig cap, but its not necessary if you don't have one. If you have the desire to untangle your wig (if it's a long wig) I always do so when it's wet so it dries straight and tangle free) Always brush gently from the bottom to the top. Step three: Your wig is now dry and kind of shiny... :\ ( we'll get to the still shiny part in step four) You should now style your wig, tease it curl it whatever look you're going for. Also make sure to try it on so the style is just right on your head. The reason we styled it first is, I just do it that way depending on the style I'm going for, you should try out what's best for you. Especially if you plan on adding something beneath like LEDs or something else fancy. Step four: You've styled it but it's still kind of shiny... :( well there's a simple trick that we can thank our ancestors for, powder. Powder your wig (the colour might change, a black wig will turn grey if you use too much baby powder) whether you use a dry shampoo, baby powder or eye shadow. A little goes a long way, so before you add too much go easy and add as needed. However if it does get too much, just shake or pat it out. (If you powdered first then proceed to style) Step five: Once you're done with powder, fix your style. And go wear that wig! If you have any questions check out a few cosplay sites. I've been doing this for years and have yet to be disappointed, unless I got a really cheap wig and it's the wigs fault. (Like it's too thin, or all the hairs fall out, like a needling Christmas tree) Hope that helped, sorry I couldn't find her tutorial. :(

@@memorialcakewut5599 you are a GODSEND!!! THANK YOU

I Bleed Baked Beans So how did it go?

memorialcake wut Thank you 🖤

Yeah definitely off limits for every curly girl, i felt the pain as well.

Its not off limits, you just... you’ll become a literal lion?

ikr

they aren't even completely curly considering it's synthetic, so it's not like real hair :/

Lily Cakes It’s synthetic- not real hair. As someone with curly hair, I know the pain.

Ah! Tysm! I was scrolling through the comments to find an alternative to baby powder XD

Apple cider vinegar also strips waxy layer

Can you use baby powder as well? Sometimes I substitute baby powder for dry shampoo for my own real hair, and I’m wondering if it’ll work for wigs too!

@@littlezorkie9311 Absolutely. :) I’ve always used baby powder and a light coat of hairspray to keep the baby powder on the hair when I didn’t have dry shampoo. You just don’t want to use too much hairspray m, because too much will make the synthetic fibers sticky and hard.

I let them soak over night but submerged in a tub with fabric softener, rinse and allow to air dry

thanks

Thank you

what was she going on about for 7 and a half minutes?? i just skipped through so thanks

she was just mainly talking about the poor quality of the wigs lol

thank you!

Herzen Do you know how long you brushed it? I had gotten my first wig and took the worst care of it. I’ve learned my lesson though. Also, was the wig curly?

@@tsheiras The wig was a bit curly and i dont know how long it took. Maybe 1 or more hours?

Herzen Oh ok, thank you!

Ask them for it

Or steal it. That's what I would do. shoot she probably wouldn't notice it's missing if she's dumb

so uhh... Did you try it? lol

Update?

Pls update

Any updates?

Actually I just ended up dying my hair so I don't know if it works, but I'm sure it's google-able 😊

Alex Vitale same

Sameeee

Lol same

Yeah she's got the nose for it, thin face.

tbh it looked better than before

Marlissa Cunningham You are supposed to brush curly hair or it gets tangled ...

@@HoneyCecelia Not with a brush, no. Its always better to use a wide pick or comb while wet for curls

@@HoneyCecelia Yeah, when it's wet & (though, it's not 100% necessary) with a wide pick or a comb. If you brush curly hair while it's dry you get the lion mane effect.

Nerdy Panda HAHAHA!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Vintage Brooo I didn’t even realize that she had pink eyebrows the whole time

I actually want the blue one, it's such a pretty color. and I wanna fix it... because it has so much potential :(

ya that's the point

You thought it was Nightmare Moon, KONO DIO DA

John Pereira dry shampoo works just as well and you don't end up with powder all over the room. If you are going to use baby powder with minimal mess, pour the powder into a lidded container, put the wig in the container, place lid on the container, shake gently. let sit for awhile so the powder settles, take it outside to open it, take the wig out of the box and shake out the excess powder over the box, then brush and style appropriately. this way, you don't end up with powder all over your house. 😎

P

It’s just cornstarch. You can put it in a salt shaker. Same trick works as an applicator for dry shampoo

If you're going to give a tip, at least say how to brush the curls?? lol

r i c e b e r r y ! Oh honey, poor thing. Everyone with curly hair already knows, sorry you were late 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@firegodessreiko oh, i forgot about that ^^;

AAA thank you so much !! I miss the yellow ^^;

too bad i saw this at exactly 8:00

flowerpowergal go to a beauty supply store.

I would get a shorter black wig and a seperate Ponytail for her, because styling an actual long wig into a ponytail is quite difficult, specially because the tracks/netting could show

Cwendolyn Caryna Lauri i ended up convincing her to order a decent one online. It came with a clip on ponytail to go over a smaller ponytail and it looked realitivly decent and its lasted well i tool it down after the con and its safely on a wig head now till i need to use it again later this month. But thank you so much for rhe advice ill think about it for future refrence when buying wigs for cosplay ^-^

Amazon sweetie is your BEST FRIEND. I love the wigs I bought from there, my Larry wig (Sally face) is a disaster right now.
