Why does my wig always tangle at the back?

How to Keep Your Wig Tangle Free
It can be incredibly frustrating when your wig tangles at the back! But don't worry, there are some things you can do to help prevent this issue. Here are a few tips that might help:
Make Sure your wig fits properly
Wigs that are too big will move around and are prone to tangling in the nape of the wig.
Make sure your wig is well-maintained
Regularly check for any loose hairs or knots and gently brush through with a wide-tooth comb a few times during the day. This will help keep it tangle free for longer.
Choose high-quality wigs
Choose high-quality wigs with good construction and high quality fibers that won’t easily get tangled and knotted up.
Avoid over-conditioning your wig
Avoid over-conditioning your wig or using too many styling products, as this can make the hair more prone to tangling and knotting up.
Try Different Styles
Try to wear your wig in different styles and positions so the same parts of the wig don't get tangled up each time you wear it.
Use Detangling Products
Lastly, using the BeautiMark Smooth Detangler spray each day will help keep your wig tangle-free.

We hope these tips help you keep your wig looking full of life for longer!

Hi Karen,
Synthetic fibers have come so far and can look and feel as realistic as human with much more ease caring for them. Are you wearing your hair down and blending it with the wig, and that is where you see it look stringy?

I am trying a synthetic topper for ease of care and the fact that my human hair toppers have become “fried” quickly even tho I take excellent care of them. I like the silkiness and color of the synthetic, but after wearing a while, it tends to separate/ look stringy over the top of my natural hair. Is there something I can do to prevent this? Thank you.
