Dealing with frizz & wigs

Anyone who wears acrylic wigs will know that frizz is a real problem. In fact it is the main reason for needing to replace wigs.
Well, I tried a bush called the Andrew Barton Frizz Tamer
http://www.andrewbarton.tv/hair-group/products/brushes/. It seems to work reasonably well.
Amazon advertise it at £6.50. I got mine in Tesco for £4.09.
If anyone else has any tips for wig care, please feel free to post them.

Dont brush them
wash them in cold water icy cold with a splash of washing up liquid - seriously
non human hair wigs are set at the factory and to reset them at least with fairly new wigs is to get a bowl of freezing cold water a dot of washing up liquid give them a good scrunch wash stand in the bathroom or garden and whip them dry with a swing of you arm flick you know to get the water out of them carefully place them onto a mannequin head and let them dry naturally DO NOT USE HEAT
the next day give them a little shake and they should all be springy again
all brushes do is destroy the factory set and help you buy more - and all the lotions and so on do is nothing its plastic how can it? if you want a little gloss then pick up a cheap bottle of Boots leave in thickening conditioner - it wont be absorbed but it will add some shine until you wash them again
