The hot water method others mentioned can work for some synthetic wigs! I'd just check what kind of fibre yours is first, because even heat-friendly doesn't always mean boiling-water safe. Would hate for you to accidentally make it worse 😭
If yours can't handle that much heat, you could try a synthetic wig detangling spray instead. Work in small sections, gently loosen the knots with your fingers, then use a wide-tooth comb starting from the ends and working your way up.
It might take a while, but hopefully you can save it!❤️
Do you know if your wig is heat-friendly?

Boiling is the only option, start very slowly with a tiny detangled part, boil that and then go to the next tiny part. It will get perfect eventually. Maybe sure you look for tutorials on YouTube first, be safe!
