Deep Wave Wigs

For severe tangles, a comb with strong, wide-tooth comb is required. Fine combs and brushes are likely to encounter too much resistance, causing you to either stop brushing or pull out clumps of hair.

Always begin combing tangled hair close to the ends. The end of the tangled hair should be a few inches (or several centimeters) away from the comb as you brush downward. Repeat this process until the hair in that area is free of tangles, and then raise the comb a little higher. Continue doing this until your entire head of hair has been combed. This could take an hour or longer for hair that is very matted and long or thick.

Hold a section of your deep wave wig as you brush it if your scalp is delicate. To prevent the comb from pulling directly on your scalp, hold a section of hair the size of a marker or glue stick between your fingers and give it a half-twist. When the hair below it has been successfully detangled, raise your grip and comb the area of hair underneath your hand.
