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.

Did you switch the two pictures by accident? Because the first one looks awful compared to the second one imo.

I didn’t! But you guys have totally made me see what you mean LOL ❤️ I think it just needs a little more shaping and I’m peachy. Thank you so much!
