As we all know, synthetic wigs cannot be styled with heat as easily as human hair wigs because they are made from plastic and sensitive to high temperature. But there’s still one exception to them, which is made from heat-resistant fibers. Now I’m gonna show you some tips about how to straighten the synthetic wigs with hair straightening.

1.Get the wig stand. You can find the item below on our website, which is perfect for drying, storage or travel. It’s made of sturdy and lightweight plastic. This stand allows air to circulate for a quick drying. You can also put the wig on it to fix the wig. In this way you can style the wig as easy as pie.

2.Secure all of the wig except those attached to the back side of a head with a clip, which is the first layer that will be straightened. The hair that is near to the hem of a wig should be the only part that is loose. Otherwise the hair will tumble down when you heat the first layer.

3. Take a small section of hair and smooth out the tangles. Select a 1 to 2 inch wide section of hair. The best place to take the hair is from one of the temples. This way, you can work your way around the back of the wig and to the other side. Once you have your section, smooth out any tangles with a wide toothed comb. Always work from the ends first; never run a comb straight down from the roots to the ends.

4.Spray the small section of hair with water. Fill a spray bottle with water, then damped the section with it.

5.Heat the wig with 100 degrees at first. If you cannot style what you want with 100 degrees, you can raise the temperature slowly. The highest temperature cannot be over 300 degrees. Run the section through the iron like you would with your own hair. You may see some steam, which is normal. If necessary, go over the strand a few more times until it is as straight as you want it.

6.Allow the fibers to cool down. Once they have cooled, you can run your comb through them and let them hang naturally from the wig. Repeat the process for the rest of the row. Check for any ripples, and smooth them out with the hair straightener.

Finally it is finally done. You can get the wig as straight as you want and the whole process is not complicated. You can definitely accomplish it on yourself at home and don’t need to go to a salon. But remember the most important point is that you can only use this method on heat-resistant synthetic wigs. Don’t worry all of synthetic wigs on UniWigs Trendy are hear resistant.
