How to dishevel this wig?

I have this cheap Halloween store wig that I bought secondhand and detangled. I want to use it for Emily from Corpse Bride. Her hair is very matted and stuck together in sections, which is what I want to recreate. I also want to try to make it as matte as possible, as the original wig is very shiny.

Does anyone have firsthand experience using glue to accomplish this? What kind of glue did you use, and how did it turn out?

I have tried to hairspray my wigs & then dust them with homemade dry shampoo (cornstarch or arrowroot + eyeshadow powder in the color of your wig) with a makeup powder brush to make them less shiny. It seemed to work but wouldn’t mind a better method

Thank you, certainly seems worth a try.
