What Not To Use When Styling Your Synthetic Wig
Do Not Use Tight-Toothed Combs
Most synthetic wigs come pre-styled and only need mild brushing and maintenance. You should use a wide-tooth comb not a tight one to retain the waves, curls, and styles. Stainless steel is recommended to avoid hair strand tugging in it.
Do Not Use Natural Hair Products
For synthetic wig newbies, you should take note that your conventional hair product(shampoo, conditioner, and spray) may not be suitable for your wig. They contain materials suitable for natural hair but not synthetic fibers. There are sprays, serums, shampoos, and conditioners in the market today, specially formulated for wigs.
Do Not Use Hot Water
As already mentioned, heat and fiber hair do not go along together, including got water unless stated otherwise in the manufacturer’s instruction manual. You should give your wig cold washing preferably in an ice bath to keep its texture and luster
Tips On Styling A Synthetic Wig
- Allow the wig to dry before styling it. The weight of the water may pull down on the fibers and ruin the styling pattern.
- Use a styrofoam head for styling your wig or a chin strap. You need both hands for styling it and you need to access every part of the wig when styling.
- Brush with a stainless brush to prevent shedding the fiber or stretching it.
- Have a maintenance schedule. Just like your natural hair, synthetic hair also requires regular and proper treatment to lengthen its shelf life. Create a schedule for your either bi-weekly or monthly depending on how often you wear it.
- When styling right curls or soft ones, use short upward strokes. For straight wigs, use long smooth strokes. For ringlet, you either use your fingers to brush it or a pic comb.
