How to Style your High Heat Synthetic Wig
High heat, or “heat resistant” synthetic wigs are made of particularly high-quality heat resistant synthetic fiber. High-heat fibre synthetic wigs are indistinguishable from natural hair and are available in a wide range of vibrant and natural colors. Just like regular synthetic wigs, heat friendly wigs are “ready to wear”, which means that the styling fits perfectly and retains its features even after washing. Heat resistant wigs can however be thermally reshaped, i.e. permanently restyled with a hairdryer, a straightening iron or a crimping iron according to your own preferences.
It’s important to read the styling guidelines for your specific wig model, because these do vary. Finally, remember to wash and maintain your heat friendly wig to ensure its longevity and brilliant looks – read our Caring for your Heat Friendly Synthetic Wig post. Happy styling!
