synth experience comes in handy

   I'm in my church's Easter musical tomorrow, and they decided on
Wednesday that they want the guy who plays Jesus to wear "the
wig."  This wig is a majorly cheap Halloween wig...shoulder length
with curly ends.  It looked frizzy and nasty!

Nice girl with fake hair experience that I am, I volunteered to take it
home and rehabilitate it.  I went section by small section,
liberally spraying on CitreShine and combing all the knots out with a
wide-tooth comb.  Thirty minutes later, I had a much better
looking wig, although it was much too uniform and wavy.  I filled
the sink with cold water, dunked it, scrunched it, applied some setting
lotion to the top to keep the frizzies away, and let it air dry on the
wig head.  I then trimmed a few spots in the front that I thought
were too long.   Voila!  Good as new...just perhaps a little
bit less curly.  Now people can concentrate on the actor and not
the thing that died on his head.

I was worried I was going to have to attack this thing with the
blowdryer or boiling water or something to fix it!  Turns out a
good combing and a rinse was all it needed.
