Hi everyone! Wig video #5 will show you how to straighten a heat resistant synthetic wig using the hot water method. If you are unsure if your wig is heat resistant, PLEASE do a heat test first so that you don't melt and ruin your wig! If your wig IS heat resistant, you can also straighten it with a hair straightener, but I find this method so much faster and easier. I hope it helps ya! Links & discount codes below!

Alexa thank you so much!!! I watched this tutorial months ago and finally tried it on a wig that was supposed to be straight but came out of the box all wonky. I used the the hot water technique, because, the straightening iron was burning it!!! It came out beautifully and not burned!!! Thank you so much!! 🌺🌸🌷

Maybe once you've straightened it and want it curled again, repeat the process of saturating it in hot water but then put curlers in it while it is drying. :)

@simsfan9270 8 жыл бұрын

another way to do basically the hot water method is to use a handheld steamer and a brush. you brush out the wig then when it's not tangly you take the brush and run it true and as you're running the brush through it you take a hand-held steamer and follow it right up against the wig and it should come up straighter. I like to brush my tongue out immediately after and it makes it nice and easy to brush out.

You mentioned taking apart the peppermint wig to make a custom wig. When would you be putting that into a video cause I really need to know to make my wig but I can't seem to find articles or videos that I can follow along with and not get lost. Your wig series and a couple of others are the few I don't get lost when watching but none have mentioned putting new wefts in a wig. Please make a video so I can make my idea a reality. I'd love to share with everyone and really put what I've learned from you to the test.
