Wig Help!

[curlmama]

I have human hair and synthetic half wigs that I think are ruined because of the Almond Glaze that I apply to my twists and castor oil I use on my edges. I don't put oil on the wigs but I do put it on my hair (always before I put on the wigs). Now the wigs are oily and look yucky! I tried to wash them but that seems to just have spread the oil all around. Is there anything I can do to save them?

Honestly--I would just get a new wig.
Once a wig is already all oily and messed up-- it's hard trying to get it unoily. All of the money that you spent trying to get it to look brand new can be invested in a new wig. It probably won't ever look exactly how you want it. I am a wig wearer myself.
Good Luck and HHG!

Not sure if you can do much for the synthetic wig, but what did you use to wash them?

Check 'Da Wig Thread', lol. I think CurlyDiva(sp) swears by fabric softener and vinegar washes.

I used castille soap.

So I threw out the synthetic one. But I soaked the human one in ACV and it came out ok. I am thinking about trying Baking Soda since it clarifies? Any other ideas of how to save the wigs?
