Introduction:
Styling your wig is an essential aspect of enhancing your overall look. Curling a wig can give it a fresh and trendy appearance, making you feel more confident in your style choice. We have four methods that can easily and safely add beautiful curls to your synthetic or human hair wig.
1. Foam Rollers:
Foam rollers are a gentle method to curl your wig without using heat. They work great for both synthetic and human hair wigs. Follow these simple steps:
a) Ensure your wig is clean and detangle it using a wide-tooth comb.
b) Mist the hair with water until damp.
c) Section the hair and wrap small amounts around foam rollers.
d) Secure the rollers by folding or clamping them.
e) Leave the rollers in overnight or until fully dry.
f) Remove the rollers gently and finger comb the curls to shape them.
2. Steam Method:
This method works well for synthetic wigs that do not respond well to direct heat.
a) Fill a steamer with water and heat it up.
b) Detangle the wig using a wide-tooth comb.
c) Put on a heat-resistant glove to protect your hand.
d) Take small sections of hair and wrap them around curling rods or rollers.
e) Gently steam each section from roots to tips, holding the steamer about 6 inches away.
f) Allow the curls to cool down completely before removing the rods/rollers.
3. Curling Iron:
Curling irons work best on human hair wigs but can be used on some high-quality, heat-resistant synthetic wigs as well.
a) Heat up your curling iron to a suitable temperature (lower for synthetic wigs).
b) Brush through the wig to remove any tangles or knots.
c) Section the hair into manageable pieces.
d) Wrap each section around the curling iron, holding it for a few seconds.
e) Release the curls carefully and let them cool down.
f) Gently finger comb through the curls to style them.
4. Hot Rollers:
Hot rollers are an excellent method to curl both human hair and high-quality synthetic wigs.
a) Heat up your hot rollers according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
b) Comb through your wig to ensure it is free from tangles.
c) Divide the hair into small sections.
d) Wrap each section around hot rollers, starting from the tips and working towards the roots.
