To maintain your wigs—whether synthetic or human hair—it’s crucial to use the right comb. A good comb reduces tangles, prevents damage, and keeps your wig looking beautiful for longer. Here’s a guide to the top combs for wigs and tips for proper care:
Best Combs for Wigs
- Wide-Tooth Comb: Ideal for all wig types, especially curly or wavy styles. It gently detangles without causing frizz or breakage.
- Loop Brush: Best for straight wigs, this brush smooths hair without snagging the lace or pulling the wefts.
- Tangle Teezer: With a unique two-tier design, this brush works effortlessly on all wig types, reducing damage.
- Steel/Metal Bristle Brush: Designed for synthetic wigs, metal bristles are soft and anti-static, minimizing damage to fibres.
- Boar Bristle Brush: Perfect for human hair wigs, it enhances shine and evenly distributes oils.
Comb Properly to Extend Wig Life
- Avoid brushing synthetic wigs when wet, as this weakens the fibres.
- Start detangling from the ends and work toward the roots to reduce pulling and breakage.
- Use gentle strokes and avoid excessive force, especially with synthetic wigs.
Maintain your wigs with the right tools and techniques to ensure they stay lush and beautiful for a long time.
