You have received your brand new wig and are excited to wear it on your next outing. However, placing the wig on your head, you notice the fibers are way too lustrous and look fake. What can you do to make a wig less shiny?
Before you give up on your new hairstyle, there are some simple solutions to “dull the fibers” for a more realistic look. Here are some quick tips to help you reduce shine on your wig and achieve a more natural appearance.
Tips on How to Make a Wig Less Shiny
1. Spray Dry Shampoo.
Lightly mist the dry shampoo onto the wig. Then, comb through the fibers to help absorb any excess oils and create a beautiful matte finish.
2. Use Proper Care Products.
Styling and care products can help dull the shine on a wig. Always make sure the products are made for synthetic fibers. They’re carefully formulated to provide just enough moisture without leaving residue to prevent shininess.
3. Avoid Shine Serums.
Using shine serums and oils on synthetic wigs can amplify shine.
4. Opt for Highlighted Shades.
Wigs with solid colors may give off more of a shine. Choose wigs with highlighted colors and multi-dimensional shades for a more realistic look.
5. Choose Wisely.
Always go with high-quality wigs from leading brands made with natural-looking fibers like human hair or realistic synthetics.
