What am I doing wrong?
My wig gets super knotted every day, I spray with detangler and brush starting from the bottom up, and still so much hair comes out, its only 3 months old and I see lots of ripped hairs in my wig 😞
Can you give me a full run down of how you take care of your wigs?

This Youtube video taught me how to care for my wig

When you brush it be gentle. Brush it laying down on a flat surface and not hanging in the air.

What is the product she is using?
Do you have a link for such a product?
Also I’ve never heard of keeping a wig in a bag, you do that? Do you find that better then on a sheitel head?

I respect her for what she is doing in the video but never am I doing this every night and not keeping my wig in a bag. its not practical for me to do this and keep it that way. I just need one person to make a mistake and take the bag to the garbage can or someone not to realize and it gets put somewhere I cant find it. in a bag is not my way. thanks but no thanks.

If it's only three months old and it gets so knotted there may be an issue with the hair. Speak to the person you bought it from. She may need to do a deep conditioning treatment or replace some hair.

Give it in for a deep conditioning or mask treatment. I had what you are describing on a new wig. It knotted within minutes of wearing. Detangler x help.
Seemed silly to pay for a mask on a new wig...but it's finally wearable. Just needs regular brushing after wearing it.

its a serum. you can buy it from lots of companies. I have from fructis garnier. its a pump one
https://www.amazon.com/Garnier.....ss_tl

I put in here so you could see it on amazon. its fabulous product! make sure you use literally the size of a dime. and shmear into your hands well. it makes a beautiful shine and helps with knots. also the spray is very good. the 10 in 1 from garnier. you can find on amazon as well. in stores as well. its just easy for me to show you what I mean. there are more expensive companies I havent tried yet. but this is very good and its not expensive. so try it and let us all know if you like it.

I agree that if its that strongly knotted then speak with the sheitel macher you bought it by. thats the first thing to do. see if she stands behind it
