I've removed 2 wigs from AG dolls, and both of them were only glued around the edge......no glue on the rest of the wig. Since you don't want to mess up the hairdo, I would make sure to put a hair net over it, or something to secure it, and then gently start pulling the wig from the back of the head to loosen it. Then when you get about 3-4" loose, you can usually pull the whole thing forward, and get it off, all in one piece. I always started from the back, so as not to mess up the front. This method worked the best for me.
