So, you have to find the best comb for your wig to reduce tangling and prevent damage.

4. The Steel/Metal Bristle Brush

This comb is perfect if you want to properly oil your human hair wig. It reduces frizz and adds shine.
To keep the wig shiny without stressing the hair, use it gently.
How to comb your wigs properly

To prevent pulling or breaking, always begin combing your wig at the ends and gently work your way up towards the roots.
Since wigs, particularly synthetic ones, are more delicate than genuine hair, don’t use too much force when combing or brushing.
