How do I get rid of shine on a wig?

I tried dry shampoo and it didn’t do anything. So then I tried a little hairspray and then dry shampoo and eventually it did do something. But now it has this kind of white overcast (wig is copper).

Is there a specific dry shampoo that is working for you guys? I tried one by Living Proof and one by Dove. Neither was noticeably better for this.

Any other hacks Im missing?

How on earth do you get a wig to hold a curl?

Im newer to wigs and have all heat friendly synthetics.

One of my wigs has gotten to the point where the ends needed some on them to smooth them back out. Used a heat comb. Worked like a dream. Except it is a curly wig with big loose curls.

I have successfully taken a wig from completely straight to very tight curls but these loose ones are so much harder. The second it leaves the iron it all falls flat.

So far the method is using a 1.5” curling iron and using both hands to hold the curl pattern in place as it cools. Lol. Its the most inefficient process I can imagine but it does technically work.

Am I missing something? Someone tell me Im missing something.
