You try to dry your wigs in the dryer. Yes not one of my smartest moments. I decided to wash my wigs Wednesday night, figured might as well fill up the bathtub, and do them all- 10 in total. I put cold water in the tub, and used the wig shampoo I had bought at Janets Closet. Let them soak for 20 minutes and then rinsed them off. Was concerned about them not drying before wife got home, and didnt want to leave overnight in car so figured why not try the dryer on low heat. I placed them in a duffle bag and turned the dryer on. Well went back upstairs to do some computer stuff- cleaning out my itunes and forgot them. Rembered about 4o minutes latter, went downstairs and to my horror realized my duffle bag had come lose- the drawstrings and the wigs had falledn into the dryer. They looked like a bunch of poor shrunken furballs. Was not able to rewash them till friday, and they dont look any better. I have tried conditioning shampoo on them made for wigs and they look dead still. Over $500 worth of wigs down the tubes. Please tell me Im not alone! Anyone else done something silly that they want to admit. The only positive thing is that I can go wig shopping again!
But I guess you know that by now....
Synthetic + heat = bad news. And if you read the instructions for a synthetic wig, you're not even supposed to wring them with your hands, let alone tumble dry.
