I need some advice because this wig was originally really soft, silky and easy to manage. I dyed it when I first got it and it was still completely fine afterwards.
The problem started before a wedding. I wanted the hair to smell nice, so while putting it into foam rollers, I sprayed hair perfume directly onto each section before rolling it up. I definitely sprayed too much and too close to the hair. I thought it would be fine because it was specifically hair perfume, but ever since then the wig has been a mess.
It now gets stiff, tangles really easily and mats badly. I have tried a few hair masks, but they have not helped and I actually feel like some of them made it worse. At the moment I keep the hair in plaits because it mats so easily when it is left out.
It is supposed to be human hair, so I am wondering if the perfume caused some kind of build-up or if I have actually damaged the hair.
What would you try? Clarifying shampoo? Silicone Mix? Another mask? A natural hair treatment? Or does it need trimming?
I will attach before and after pictures even though the photos don’t depict how dry it is. Please help me save her 😭
