What Users Care About
When choosing a brush for wigs, users typically consider the following factors:
- Bristle type: Natural bristles are gentle on delicate wigs, while synthetic bristles are more durable.
- Bristle density: A dense brush provides more control and smoothing, while a sparse brush is best for detangling.
- Handle: A comfortable handle is essential for ease of use, especially for extended brushing sessions.
- Size and shape: The size and shape of the brush should complement the size and style of the wig.
Step-by-Step Approach

- Determine the type and texture of the wig fibers (human hair, synthetic, etc.).
- Consider the desired level of detangling, smoothing, and styling.
