Wig in Fabric Softener Experiment
Source idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxeHZzSyjFg&t=440s “How to De-shine a Wig (ft. Castiel from Supernatural)”
I bought this wig on Aliexpress for $9
It isn’t the best quality and is SUPER shiny, but I wanted to see if there was any way to redeem it. I tested the de-shining method of soaking a shiny wig in a bucket of fabric softener and water. The wig is a bright pink wig I was planning on using for the character Nana, from Elfen Lied. The only problem is the fact that is its so shiny and unnatural looking.
I used over a cup of fabric softener and enough water to cover the wig. I used warm water and swished it around to make sure the fabric softener was evenly mixed in.
I left the wig in the solution for one week and then rinsed the wig with cold water. The final product!
Okay so this method sadly didn’t work for this wig. another I method I tried was soaking it in apple cider vinegar. I mixed 1 cup of the vinegar to 4 cups of water and let it sit for an hour. It didn’t affect the wig at all.
I have been looking into other solutions such as baby powder, and dry shampoo. Have you tried any of these and did they work?
