Hey ladies, I just wanted to post this information for anyone who is as frustrated with throwing out wigs once they start to get ratty.
Well I was spending a lot on synthetic wigs because I had to replace them monthly so I did a search online for how to restore them. I came accross a really old article that suggested ironing them. What! We were told never to apply heat to a synthetic wig. Not true! You can iron your wig ends on very low heat and they will smooth out. I just tried it and it worked!
I suggest doing a test section first to make sure the heat is low enough or try putting a pillowcase over the wig and ironing. If it is too high it will burn and melt like plastic. This is going to be a really big money saver for me!
Here is the link to the old article i found. Hope this helps someone.
