Most wigs usually contain a special coating on the hair fibers, which increases the lifespan of the wig. However, this coating can also provide too much shine that can make the wig look unrealistic. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can remove the excess shine and give your wig a more authentic, natural look.

In this article, we are going to explore some of the ways you can remove shine from your wig. Without wasting time, let’s delve into them.

How To Make Your Wig Less Shiny Using Shampoo

This is one of the most common methods used to remove shine from a wig. When using shampoo, make sure you choose the right one that is specially designed for wigs because not all shampoos work for wigs. These shampoos that are specially made for wigs can protect your wig from damage.

To remove shine from your wig using shampoo, fill a sink with water and add a few drops of shampoo. Take the wig and soak it in the solution for about 10 minutes. Rinse your wig and allow it to air dry. You can repeat this procedure until you notice that your wig is looking less shiny.

You can also use dry shampoo to make your wig less shiny. Dry shampoo works by absorbing excess dirt, sebum, and oils that are accumulated on the root of the wig.

Before you apply dry shampoo to your wig, you need to wash the wig a couple of times. Then let it dry completely.

After that, you can apply the dry shampoo. Shake and spray the shampoo directly on your wig then brush it thoroughly. You will clearly see the difference before and after spraying dry shampoo.
