So I got my first wig today. It's amazing and I love it! But it's wavy /curly. How to I wash it and comb it without pulling out the curls? It's synthetic..

If it's synthetic then you shouldn't be putting product in it which means you shouldn't really have a need to wash it if it's not human hair. you can really mess it up if you try to do too much to it.

Okay I don't plan on putting product in it, it's just long, and it's already kind of messy now just from unpacking it, so how do I keep it looking pretty can I brush it or no?

Will the curls still hold?I'm sorry I'm just soo scared of pulling the hairs out of the cap or making the bottom poufy and frizzy because I brushed the curls iut.

It depends on the type of girls. if it's just wavy then brushing it will be fine but if it's tightly curled then brushing might mess the curls up and make the wig look even more frizzy.

Then yes those curls are loose enough to be brushed just make sure when you brush it you start at the bottom of the hair and work your way up to minimize shedding and use a wig brush as Alma said

Thanks! Any ideas where I can get a wig brush? Like would Walmart have them? Because that's really all I have by me at the moment.

I think that, as long as it has metal britsles, you should be fine. I remember the olden times when I was a little girl and adored my American Girl doll, and they told you that their (synthetic) hair was supposed to be brushed with a metal brush so as to avoid shedding and keep it as full as possible.
