Quick answer
For knots and snarls, reach for a doll wig detangling brush like the Tangle Teezer Compact Styler; for static, frizz, and dullness, use a light pass of Treatment Mist. Use the mist first only when the wig is dry and flyaway, then brush gently.
Why synthetic fibers need a different touch
Synthetic wig fibers are more prone to damage from conventional brushes, which can pull and stretch them. That is why the Tangle Teezer Compact Styler, with flexible teeth of varying lengths, is a better match for Dollfie wigs than a standard paddle brush.
Treatment Mist is formulated to remove static electricity and make the wig shiny, tangle-free, and easier to care for. It is heavier than the Oil Spray, so a little goes a long way; use less than you think you need.
When the mist is not enough
If the wig is matted or has lost fiber shape, neither product will restore it. Stop brushing and consider a replacement wig rather than risk stretching the fibers further.
Treatment Mist is intended for Dollfie wigs made of materials except mohair, synthetic mohair, and boa. Check your wig fiber first; if it is one of those, skip the mist.
Diagnose your wig problem
- Symptom: knots and snarls: Likely cause: fiber friction and loose tangles. Corrective action: use the Tangle Teezer Compact Styler, starting at the ends and working upward in small sections. Stop if fibers stretch or shed. If knots persist after gentle brushing, do not force it; the wig may need restyling or replacement.
- Symptom: static, flyaway, or dull fibers: Likely cause: static electricity and surface dryness. Corrective action: spray a small amount of Treatment Mist from a distance, then comb through with the Tangle Teezer. Do not overspray; the mist is heavier than the Oil Spray. If the wig is made of mohair, synthetic mohair, or boa, do not use Treatment Mist.
- Symptom: matted or misshapen fibers: Likely cause: fiber damage beyond brushing. Corrective action: stop using both products and consider a replacement wig. Neither the brush nor the mist can repair melted or stretched fibers. When in doubt, test on a small hidden section first.
