Maybe you're just hugely curious about what this curly wig would look like straight. Definitely guilty of that one or maybe you just simply prefer straight wigs. No matter what your reason is, you have clicked the right blog.

Preparation

This blog is going to show you a method for straightening synthetic wigs which is the hot water method. To straighten a wig using the hot water method, there are a few things you're gonna need. First, you'll need some kind of stand that can get wet and withstand hot water. Light stands, tripods and even chair backs and broom handles are great tools. Anything that you can stick a Styrofoam head onto and that's tall enough that your wig can hang freely so that it can dry completely straight.

Measures

1.It is necessary for you to have a Styrofoam head and a wig .Then secure the wig on the head with a straight pin so that it doesn't slide off during the process.

2.It is necessary to brush a wig out before getting it wet. Now you are going to heat up some water, this method is called the hot water method.

3.The temperature to which the water should be heated depends on your wig. If you are using a heat-resistant synthetic wig , they can withstand quite high temperatures . Your goal is just to get the right heat to straighten the curls, so don't overheat and damage the fibers. For straightening this way, you generally heat the water between 180°F-185 °F, which works great on wigs from good quality wigs, but is probably too hot for cheap party store wigs. Cheap plastic wigs will completely melt and frizz out if you do this. So always heat test a small section of a wig before heating the whole wig if you are unsure what your wig can handle.

4.When the water is heated, you can pour it directly onto the wig . You can also quickly soak the wig in hot water and rotate it in the hot water to make sure the ends are completely soaked.

5.You could dump the water over the wig covering as much of the wig as you can. And then the wig will magically straighten right before your eyes! The following you can take a few pots of water to make sure the wig is completely soaked. Once the wig is completely saturated, you'd better use your fingers to finger comb out all the tangles so that it can hang completely straight. In addition, it is important to avoid brushing a wig when it's wet, because it can damage the fibers, but finger combing should be fine.

6.Make sure the wig is hanging free, hanging straight, and let it air dry that way . When it's dry, your wig will be super straight, super soft, and super pretty!
