If you want a professional flat iron and you are ok with spending around $140 I would highly recommend the Karmin G3 Salon Pro, it heats up to 450f with temperature control, dual voltage, tourmaline ceramic plates with rounded edges which makes it great for also curling your hair. Also has a 3 year warranty. If you do look at other irons make sure to stay away from irons with painted plates (colored plates) these can damage your hair.
Venisehughes;-..Also if your lucky enough to find a velvet covered curling irons or the velvet covered hot curlers they work even better and faster :)
I roll my wigs up in curlers ,lay them in a large bowl,then pour in almost boiling water let them sit in it around 5 minutes then pull them out and hang them to dry for around 2 days in my shower .Then remove to curlers and the curls stay...If you want it straight hang the wig in the shower and pour almost boiling water over it again (with the curlers removed)and let it air dry,then it will be straight
Acually You Can Do The Same With Curlying Irons. YOu Wet The Hair With A Spay Bottle Then Curk It At The LOWEST SETTING And Hold Until MOST Water Is Off Of Hair Then Let Go Into Hand And Pin Upward :D
I got this tip from watching your video months ago...now it's a staple to my maintaining my (& my friend's) synthetic hair weaves..so i just wanted to say...THANK YOU!!! You should check out my weave vids - well the few that I have so far..lol! XoXo
Hey Keith I just wanted to thank you for the tutorial, I got a full weave sewn in of curly hair that came out making me look like a disney princess. Sure it was cute but I wasn't going for cute lol. I followed your tutorial this morning and now my hair looks great (and a lot less disney). Thank you so much for sharing:)
super super super awesome !!!!!!! u the shit babe. I was under the impression that once synthetic hair went bad, u could absolutely not fix it. Apparently I was wrong! Thanks a million sweetie.
wow!!! you are so good! honestly you have inspired me stop just wanting to do something but actually take that step to go to beauty school to learn how to style hair!!! i can see u have alot of passion for what u do :) thanks keep on doing what you're doing you're gona be successful
But flat iron must be special "wet&dry"? Or may be basic flat iron? I must straight my hair, but I am afraid that I destroy my machine when I use it with wet rag..
im getting a just-like-human hair weave n ive been wonderin how to straighten it without meltin it so thys really really helped cuz even tho the package says you can straighten and curl it i dun trust it that much :)
yah ders another way of doing it, similar but not as complicated, all u need is water, cold preferably and a flat iron. Just comb your synthetic hair straight with a small comb with 'tiny teeth' and then spray water on da hair and then make sure your hair straightener is on low heat, den just place the straightener on da hair n straighten it. Very simple, jst make sure ur straightener is on low heat.
Hey Keith, Great video. Where did you get the head that you are using. I have tones of wigs but use my children to fix them. I tell em.. stand still... lol.
hi charlihag206, yah it'll work but read my comment above i have described it a different way, cos i had synthetic braded hair which i curled it in hot water, eventually i got bored and decided to comb it out, spray water on da hair and straighten it on low heat with a normal hair straightener and it worked!
would i be able to do this with HairDo by jessica simpson? i have the wavy ones, and i dont like to curl my hair everyday, and i love to add the legnth to my hair.
That was a wonderful technique! Now I know what to do with my wigs when they start looking funny after about a year and when I'm too cheap to buy another one.
I like that technique...You mentioned you didn't know how to curl the hair once it is straight, the only way i know how to do it is rolling the hair or plaiting it and dipping it in hot water.
OMG!! I HAVE THIS CURLY WIG.... it will be straight by the end of this week!! >} *devilish grin*
