Taking the 'sheen' off synthetic hair

Post by KelsieStars » Wed Jun 15, 2011 7:51 am

I bought myself a nice little fake fringe last week - it arrived yesterday and is a perfect colour match for my hair, BUT it is quite obviously fake. It's got that sheen that synthetic wigs usually have (which doesn't bother me when I wear full wigs) and it looks blindingly obvious that the fringe isn't my own hair!

Has anyone got any hints for dulling the sheen a little?

I remember reading somewhere you can use talc, haven't tried it myself though.
