Use heat styling tools to style your human hair wig
You should not use heat styling tools on your wig while you are wearing it because you could injure yourself. To make styling your wig easier and safer, use T-pins to pin your wig to a foam or canvas blockhead. Using this type of wig stand keeps the wig secure during styling and also allows you to have a 360-degree view of the style.
After blow-drying your wig until it is about half-dried, continue blow drying while using a round brush. This type of brush will give you more styling control and will help to smooth the hair. You can use an air concentrator attachment on your blow dryer for even more control. Once the hair is 100% dry, you can move on to the next step.
To straighten your wig, use a flat iron starting about an inch from the root of your wig. This is easier if you separate the hair into more manageable sections using hair clips or ties. Make sure to focus on the front pieces since these will frame your face, but be sure not to leave the heat on the hair for too long. Finish off the style with hairspray.
To curl your wig, first, separate the hair into sections, then wrap a piece of the hair around your curling wand and leave it for 8–12 seconds. Be sure not to leave the heat on the hair for too long. Let the curled hair down slowly into your hand and allow it to partially cool. This will ensure that your curls hold. Complete each section until all the hair is curled. Finish off the style with hairspray.
You can use these heat styling tips on your human hair wig every day, but make sure to apply a leave-in conditioner spray and heat-protecting spray before styling to keep the hair hydrated and protected. Remember to wash your human hair wig at least once a week after daily wear or every 8–10 years.
Just like with human hair wigs, consider carrying a wide-toothed comb with you so you can easily detangle and touch up your style on the go.
