Apply wig solvent. There are many solvents available on the market that are specially made for human hair wigs. These solvents can and will soften adhesives for easier removal. If you can’t afford a solvent, isopropyl alcohol works just fine.
To apply solvent or alcohol to the wig, use a q-tip, make-up applicator or small brush and rub along the front and back hairline. gently tug, rubbing more solvent at resistant areas. Keep doing this until you feel the grip of the wig lessening enough to pull free of the skin.
