Step 1: Detangle with TLC

Gently detangle your wig using a "No Drama Detangling Spray" to prevent breakage and bring back its luscious look. 

Step 2: Snip & Separate

Grab your scissors and carefully cut the hair from the weft of your wig as close as possible. Repeat this step until you have enough "bundles" to attach to your braids

Step 3: Tame & Shine

After you have gotten your braids done, use our "Foaming Curl Control" to tame flyaways and add a touch of shine. 

Now you're rocking the trendy fairy braid look without breaking the bank!

Step 1: Snip Snip

Grab a pair of sharp scissors and carefully cut the hair from the wig cap. Be extra cautious not to accidentally cut through the weft itself.

Step 2: Sleek 

Slick your natural hair back in a high or low ponytail. Apply, a touch of "Baby Hair Control" to your edges, the secret weapon for achieving that flawless shine. 

Step3: Pony Up

Finally, use the hair sections you cut from the wig as a ponytail extension.

Can't bear the thought of sitting for hours getting braids done? Here's a clever way to achieve the look of goddess braids without the time commitment.

If you don't have existing bundles for the half-weave part, you can cut bundles from your wig like in the previous styles. 

However, here's the extra hack:

After creating your stitch braids, add the hair sections you cut from the wig to the tips of your braids, similar to how you would with goddess braids. This gives you the desired look without the extended braiding time.

Finish by using your "Foaming Curl Control" to blend everything and tame flyaways.

There you have it! Three stunning hairstyles you can achieve with your "retired" wig and your trusty wig styling kit.
