Have you always dreamed of flawless, silky hair or gorgeous glamorous curls but never dared to take the plunge? We will give you all our tips and tricks to straighten and curl your wig easily and safely!
Be careful, some sites straighten or curl synthetic wigs, we strongly advise against it because they could ignite very easily, we do not recommend any heat source only on natural wigs which they are not afraid of.
Straighten her natural wig.
STEP 1: Place your wig on a head holder or ideally on a polystyrene head and make sure that it is correctly positioned. The fibers must be able to be brushed without touching the support. For an even simpler realization, you can hold the wig with pins. Insert a pin at the top of the head, at the temples, along the sides and at the back of the neck. You can use pins or thumbtacks.
STEP 2: Untangle the wig. For this we advise you to use a wooden brush with coarse teeth. Brushing is always done from the tips to the roots and not the other way around.
STEP 3: Prepare and protect the hair by applying a conditioner spray all over the hair.
STEP 4: Tie the top of the hair into a bun loosely, just to free the lower hair.
STEP 5: With a hair straightener
Straighten the lower hair with a curling iron heated to the minimum temperature (150 degrees), taking strands 2 to 5 cm wide. Then detach the bun and this time straighten the upper hair.
With a hair dryer
Make sure there are no knots and also take strands 2 to 5 cm wide and place your brush at the hairline. Use your hair dryer at the minimum temperature and lower your brush along the hair with the hair dryer. Detach the bun and smooth the rest of the strands. Be careful not to stick your hair dryer to your hair!
Curl your natural wig
STEP 1: Position your wig in the same way as mentioned above with the pins.
STEP 2: Detangle the wig in the same way.
STEP 3: Apply the conditioner spray to the entire wig.
STEP 4: Tie the top of the hair into a bun loosely, just to release the lower hair.
STEP 5: Take a curling iron and select a wick of 2 to 5cm. Place the end of the wig at the base of the iron and wrap the rest of the wick around the iron, being careful not to touch the base of the wig which could burn the wig.
Leave on for 5 to 10 seconds then remove the iron. Repeat the step on the entire lower strands. Then detach the bun and repeat the curling on each strand. Finally, for a less pronounced effect of the curls, you can brush the curls roughly.
