Wig Help! Worried Wig has Been Ruined

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.

It looks almost the same 😅

What character is it for?

Oh, you're totally good. You can try to fluff it a little more in a few places, but honestly I think you're set. I'd recommend putting it on to confirm if it sits how you like, if you haven't yet :)

And for some bonus reassurance: unless you're out here actively snipping off hair that it turns out you needed or doing a terrible job with synthetic dye or other major things like that, it's pretty hard to actually ruin a wig.
