Do you have a shiny wig that you’d like to make matte? Follow these simple steps to achieve a natural-looking finish:
- Sprinkle baby powder on the crown of the wig. Alternatively, you can use dry shampoo spray.
- Use a wig comb to evenly distribute the powder or spray throughout the locks. Be sure to focus on the areas that appear shinier than the rest of the wig.
- Once you’ve applied the powder or spray, gently shake the wig to remove any excess product.
- If you notice any clumps or areas where the powder appears to be concentrated, use a clean, dry towel to gently buff the wig until the powder is evenly dispersed.
- Finally, brush the wig with a soft-bristled brush to smooth out any tangles and give it a polished finish.
By following these steps, you can achieve a matte finish that looks natural and stylish. Just remember to be gentle with your wig and avoid using too much product, as this can weigh it down and cause damage over time.
