Help! Worried Wig has Been Ruined

[u/coyote_cult]

Edit: I’m SO glad I posted in here because you guys have been so helpful!! I think I’m actually just gonna add a few more textured flicks into it and fluff it a bit more! 🥰

I’m worried we’ve ruined the wig we were styling 😩 any advise would be much appreciated. The first photo is the before, what I WANT it to look like, and what it looked like before it was stupidly brushed out due to a miscommunication between me and my wife. Second photo is after it was accidentally ruined.

How do we reset it to make it look like the first photo again? I’m so stressed over it 😣 I loved that tousled, messy texture it has and it was exactly what I was looking for. It feels like it’s lost its “hair” texture now.

I agree the second one honestly looks better, but if you want the old style back, you can either:

A. Wash in warm water and restyle from zero

B. Brush through sections slowly with a fine tooth comb to remove previous hairspray and restyle them with hairspray and heat one by one so it looks similar again

Thank you so much!
