If your synthetic wig is heat resistant you can dip it in boiling water it melts the fried ends back smooth and silky! Has saved many of my wigs then I do the silicone mix treatment or fabric softener soak (rinse well) only con to the boiling method it will straighten your wig if it’s curly but I just re do the curls
Yes. Great tips! I love to do a fabric softener soak on my straight wigs with hot water to do this too. 😊
I also love Downey Calm. Can using it regularly be harmful? I just got my first long hair wig and it is just needing help already after just a few wears.
❤❤❤❤
This has saved hundreds of my old wigs that I love so much I couldn't throw them away.. they are back on my head!!🤗♥️🤗♥️ Thank you so much!
So happy I could help!!
I sure have learned a lot from you and I appreciate you one thing that keeps me coming back is that you're not Prissy but you're totally feminine and you get to the point thank you so much
Thanks 😊
Super easy fix! Thanks 😊
Great tutorial 👌. Very informative and to the point. TYVM! You rock!!
Thanks so much! I'm glad I could be of help.
Thank you! I’ve tried the Bambu on my wigs just like you demonstrated and I am 100% happy with the results!
Amazing! I love it when everything works out! Thanks for letting me know
Jesse - could you please do a tutorial from start to finish wash, dry & style - what products you can put on your hair after washing to give shine, make hair soft tx x
Definelty can do something like this!
❤loved the information hun,thank you❤
You are so welcome! 😊
Amazing!
I have subscribed to your channel, also your videos have been so helpful to me as a new wig wearer.
Thanks so much for subscribing! Welcome to the community. I'm glad I have been helpful.
Thx so much for your review...u confirmed what I was wondering....a lot of the women on utube soak their synthetic wigs in softner with HOT water but I noticed after taking it out the water it appears to be quite tough/ matted....where as I saw another girl soaked hers in cold water like u did with a curly wig and the bounce was unbelievable after drying! So I will b sure to soak in cold water! Thx again
Glad I could help!
Love watching your videos.
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.
This worked. I only did my
ends and then used trimmed with bladed come.
Wavy curls. Thank you x

Thank you! I really appreciate it! ❤️
Great post.
Thanks😊
Great video !!!!
Thanks!!
Thank you 🤍 very helpful! I’m new to wigs, recently started to loose my hair and I bought my first HF synthetic wig so idk 🤷🏼♀️ what I am doing! But this video helped!
Glad I could help!
Amazon should sponsor you🙂🙂
I do make a little when you guys use my links I post but it’s nothing crazy! Lol
Agreed! I appreciate you, Jesse and have purchased some things with your links. Thank you!
Which mix has the mildest fragrance? I avoid fragrances around my face, and am looking at various silicone mixes. In fact, fragrance-free would be ideal. Also, some folks have skin issues with silicone, so I'd definitely wear gloves if I applied this. Thanks!
Like your nail polish color, btw.
The bamboo one will be a less potent scent.
u r profeshnal in a sintatic wig thank you sooooooo
Thanks ☺️
I love you Jesse!!! U have saved me so much $ and time with my wigs! U absolutely saved my Swift wig by watching ur videos... she has been revived and looks amazing now thanks to u! Thank you for ur videos! Ur the best girl 🥰
Thanks Kim! Now you have more money to buy more wigs!
@@JesseMSimons and I have, Lol... just bought 2 more, Lol...
@@kimking1815 Win. Win!
@@JesseMSimons yes ma'am 🥰❤️🥰
Found the silicone mix video
Thanks for doing this video! I tried the original Silicone Mix, but it smelled soooo strong. I will try the Bambu version!
Yeah I hate the original ones smell!!
THANKS for the tip!!
How much do you rinse the softener and silicon? Not sure how much it should be rinsed.
A ton! I rinse it super well and then rinse it again. You don’t want the residue to stay or it can make to ur wig feel weird.
Perfect, it's time to wash and revive a few of my synthetics so I needed this video! Off topic but I have a question, Ive been wanted to do thin dread locks for ages, unfortunately no one in my little town does dreads. Would you know if any good synthetic wigs that are dreads exists? Or where I can look to find some? ty Jesse
I will ask some of my wig ladies and find out for you!
@@JesseMSimons yeah! plz, any help will be much appreciated🙌🙌
Thank you. I did this process with 2 of my wigs. I really wish I would have taken a before and after. Can this be done on heat friendly wigs too?
Yes definitely!
So I'm semi brand new to wigs. New enough to have spent a lot of money on human hair blends that lasted me 3 months and had to toss and get a new one... 😫 I'm about to order a synthetic wig from Kryssma and I love it so much that I want to do everything I can to keep it as long as I can. I do wear my wigs 24/7 so I expect it to not last as long. But I've seen people talk about years! So I'm doing my research before I order my next one. Now, I have gone through endless products to protect and care for my wigs. I usually let my wig air dry and I'll straighten it with a Chi flat iron once it is dry. So I'm asking (begging) for professional advice. My normal routine with my wigs consist of washing it at least twice a week. I use shampoos and conditioners without harsh chemicals. Always use cold water. Once I'm done washing it, I treat it with a heat protector and leave-in conditioner. Normally, my wigs turn out to be super soft but only for the first day...lol. Because of tangling, I tend to brush my wigs a lot. I hate the tangled look. But friction happens. But no matter what I do, nothing seems to stop my wigs from looking fried. I'm not sure if it has to do with the fact that they have been human hair blends or what but I really want to keep my new wig in its best shape and not have to keep throwing them away from going beyond repairable... I've seen so many different ways, techniques and products and I just want to know the best way to care for a synthetic wig that is being worn 24/7. Please help!
I wouldn't recommend getting that brand especially coming from human hair there are a lot of things you can do to prolong the wear of your synthetic wigs but they are definitely not going to wear as well or as long as a human hair wig will. You also want to try to avoid over brushing synthetic wigs and you would want a good wig spray made for synthetic wigs since most of the products you have are probably specifically made for human hair. If you look at my playlist how to make a wig look natural there are a lot of videos there that will help you maintain your wigs. I have a waist spray that you can order right underneath any one of my videos. Also make sure you have a wig brush that is specifically made for wigs. I hope that helps if you need further help you can always reach out to me at wigsupport@jmsimons.com.
Thank you so much for all you do! I’ve been so lost since having to now purchase synthetics and I’ve managed to ruin some expensive ones 😭 lol you’ve really helped me more than anyone and I appreciate you! I live in a smaller town and I don’t know anyone I can ask about this and there’s nowhere to shop so thanks for the Amazon links too!
So, one of my synthetics is very fried, kinda thick, knotted like at the ends. Should this conditioning fix that? I’ve used some heat but not a lot. Still makes me nervous lol
Send me some photos on IG @ Jesse_m_Simons and I can help you better. 😊. Thank you so much for watching!! It's my goal to make it easier so that is such a amazing complement!!
Thank you so much! Just messaged you
If it was a curled or wavy synthetic wig, do I comb it before or after it air dries?
You can lightly finger comb if needed when wet but you should wait to brush your wigs until dry.
it left it nice and soft but i had toned it with Rit dyemore and it seems to have removed all the purple dye. Bummer.I had thought this would be great to condition it after being in the alcohol
Hmm. I haven’t had that happen before but I will do some testing to see why and if there is a solution.
@@JesseMSimons i wondered if maybe the rit color stay would work. I woujld try it but i only have the one wig that i need to wear everyday.
And thank you for always replying and answering questions
Hy sis, do you know any other alternative product that is very good but lesser than silicon mix
Not that will do what this stuff does. You need the silicone to coat the fibers which is why this stuff works really well.
Do you have any suggestions for a human hair (non-remy) wig that is clumping together because of the cuticles? This is my favorite wig and I don't know what to do to save it. Thanks in advance...
I am not as well versed in HH wigs but I will reach out to a friend who is and ask for some suggestions for you.
🚿🧺 Thanks for this info!!....vicki
Is the wig you worked on a “heat friendly” wig or regular synthetic material? Thanks!
Heat friendly
do you mind sharing what hot comb you are using?
I use a few different ones in my videos. Any that will start off low and give you a temp setting around 300 will work great. I have a few links in some of my straightening videos as well.
I always wonder how much to rinse the wig after doing this. Is there a certain amount of time you place under water? Hate to rinse all the product just put in.
Really, really, really well!!
I washed my unit as per your video but after drying it now still looks really dry & frizzy at the ends …. Am struggling please help xxx
You may need to do a fabric softener soak. Is it a straight or curly wig? Heat safe? Just so I can give you the right process. 😊
Someone told me to put the mixture on the wig then put it it a ziploc bag, close it, and leave for an hour, then rinse. Would that work? Would it hurt to leave overnight?? Thanks for your help ❤
Yes you can do this just make sure you rinse really really really well! 😊
Can you do the same with a 100% natural hair wig??
Yes you can use this product of human hair as well. Just make sure to rinse very well so it doesn’t leave any residue. 😊
How long do you rinse with the silicon products on?
I let it sit for atleast 30 mins and then I rinse it out for a really long time to make sure I get all the product out.
Jesse; I followed your directions, exactly, but my wig still came out with the ends feeling like straw, not silky and floppy like yours in the video. What did I do wrong? All of mine are heat friendly synthetic wigs.
If it’s a heat safe wig I would recommend adding this product directly to the wig and then wrapping it in some foil or Saran Wrap then use a blow dryer to warm up the ends of the hair that are fried/damaged. I let it warm up then sit on there for 30 mins. After make sure you rinse super,super, super well. That should help a lot more with the ends of the wig. I just did this like this to one that was so bad and it’s like new now. I will be making an updated video soon! 😊
question will this help synthetic hair from sticking together? Ive been noticing after sev hours my wig hairs starts to bunch and stick together through out the day. even if i brushbit out it only lasts a little while and then again the wig has bundles of hair that are stuck. lmk if my question doesnt make sense sorry.
Yes this helps especially at that neck area as well as a silicone wig spray.
@@JesseMSimons okay ty! will try
Can I just do the Fabric softener soak ? So I leave it in the soak for an hr ?
You can do a fabric soak but rinse it well.
How much or long do you rinse the product out?
Until you think you rinse it out enough... and then rinse it some more! Lol. There are so many factors that go into it. Length of the wig, density of the wig, how much you put in, how the fibers react to the product, etc. I can't give you a definite time but do it until you feel like it's all gone and then do it some more to make sure.
What should I use for static with my wig??
Dryer sheets
I have a curly synthetic wig which is ringlets and the ends are dry and stringy. Combing through it will ruin the curl… how can I repair it? Is it even possible to fix? Help!
You would need to reform the curls with your fingers and use a wide tooth comb if needed.
You put the silicone.mix on dry?
Yes I do. The hair doesn’t absorb like hair normally does and I don’t want the water to repel the conditioning mix off the wig fibers.
Why is silicone used? Why not just the fabric softener? What is its benefit?
It helps coat the fibers and help lower the damage caused by the fibers rubbing together and causing friction which caused matting and damage.
What temp do you want the water when you put her in?
Room temp or cool water if it’s a wavy or curly style. If it is straight you can use warm water.
Can you use fabric softener on heat defiant wigs????
Yes.
@@JesseMSimons thank you!!! How much in a basin of water?
How do I comb off the tangles on a curly wig?
You want to use either my detangling wig brush or a wide tooth comb and start at the bottom working your way up.
Girl if u have never been to a Dominican hair salon miss ma’am they always use SILICON MIX perhaps it’s because we may definitely different natural hair texture but ma’am get u a good Dominican homegirl get u some products 😊
Would you want to have it wet first or dry?
You can do it either way. I like to do dry if it need a lot of help.
So, no rinsing of the Bambu and fabric softener! That's what I'm doing wrong!
You want go rinse it out really well but you want go let it sit and soak first. 😊
I have a question does deep conditioner work just aswell!!!???
No. The reason being is synthetic fibers do not absorb products like hair would so you use the silicone mix because it coats the fibers with that silicone that’s in the conditioning treatment where as a normal leave in conditioner is going to have things in it that are meant to be absorbed by your hair. Hope that makes sense.
@@JesseMSimons okay does hot water also help???
@@soniabrown7151 it does but you will lose any curl pattern you have. Doing a fabric softener soak in hot water will make
Your wig really soft but also straight.
Can you cut the bangs off a wig?
It would depend on the wig construction but usually no.
Can you put it on wet???
You can I just find it works better on dry hair.
Question: which silicone mix do you prefer? bamboo or regular? i want the one that is stronger lol
Bamboo is the way to go. I like the smell and consistency of the bamboo better than the regular.
@@JesseMSimons awesome gonna place my order 😁👍👍👍
But they both work equally as well I feel like the bamboo is just a little easier to get saturated on the hair because of its consistency.
@@JesseMSimons okay thats exactly what I need. I have no idea why my wigs gets really frizzy and matted up in the back and bottoms... i use no products on them 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ So i am in desperate need right now. So i'm getting the Bamboo and also the Water less conditioner. I don't own ANY products at all for my synthetic wigs. Do you think those two products are a good enough starting point for me? or like do i need something else?
i'm always on a budget so keep that in mind HAHaHa
I used to love silicon mix till I realized it has sulfates and stuff in it
With this being a HF wig, is it harder to curl it after this treatment? Asking for a friend 😂
No it holds the curl pattern ot has as long as you use cool water and then if you need to recurl or refresh the curls you can use a heat tool on a low temp to do so. The biggest challenge with curling synthetic wigs is letting the curl set and cool before you let it fall.
@@JesseMSimons Thank you!
@JesseMSimons
It seemed like suddenly the left side of a plain synthetic wig had suddenly gone frizzy and stiff. I hadn't had it very long, and the rest was still soft. I had NO idea why.
Was it because I'd sprayed it with hairspray? I washed it as gently as usual with wig shampoo. Nothing.
Then, as I was watching videos earlier about trying to get rid of frizz, improving the look, etc.
He said since high heat damages synthetic wigs, that when one opens a hot oven, the rush of hot air can damage! I noticed that when I open the oven and forget to wait, I always turn my head towards the left and get a BLAST of steamy HOT air, 450° last night, on the right WHERE the damage is!
I am SOOOOOOOOO GLAD to find that out! It makes absolute sense! I'll blast that side of my wig more than once while baking and have frizzed them up on the left.
Taahhh dah!
