How to Straighten a Wig

[bratztvgirl]

I used this method, I washed it and then did this, it worked wonders I turned a VERY curly haired wig to a straight silky structure A+

@hetalia71 use the hot water method you can find out how to do it in here [utube]

[hetalia71]

would it work with my wig I have a very nice wig its a miku hatsune cosplay wig so the wig goes down to me knees so how could i straiten it. because a friend borrowed it and her dog got it so its very very tangled so please anyone tell me!!!

[Merasty70]

lol mine melted!

[tr7n8beefstix]

i've used the hot water method on two of my wigs now and it works wonders! what temperature was your water? it really only works if the water is around 180-185 (Fahrenheit) (careful i burnt my hand when doing this) and basically i boiled water in a kettle until it reached 180 then poured it over the wig (on a stand so it hangs straight down) it took about 4 kettle fulls, then i let it dry overnight. now its straight as a pin :D

Ok we get the Wig is 10 damn dollars! Get over it! No one cares about the original price. Just straighten the damn hair.

I would suggest that in the future you video shorter and more professional,eg.leave out the hannah montana conversation,as im a wig dresser and wanted to see someone actually straighten fibre with straighteners,and i got so bored 30 seconds in,this is only positive critisiscm that you never know whos watching your videos for the purpose they say they are for.

i shall try this though,thank you

[Phever3040]

StarlaJames I agree. I was like, come on do the hair already. Thanks for the video. You can also use a wet cloth on the wet hair and wrap small strands with the cloth and put the flat irons on top of the cloth and it steams it really good. Great example girls, just so much laughing and talking.

Yes, I'm definitely going to try to leave the commentary out of it next time. Sorry about that. I got a little lazy and didn't cut the video down to just the straightening part.

[Lyric4L]

I agree... thanks for your comment. I was about to post something similar but then I saw yours. Again .. thanks..

I find it very hard to straighten synthetic wigs with hair straighteners.

I can never pull it down the hair fast enough, so little pieces end up frizzing and half-melting. xD

[LPchicky17]

even if it on a lower setting?

[pattasy]

try "katie's" way, with boiling water. it doesn't damage the wig at all. I demonstrate the whole process in one of my vids and the wig looks beautiful afterwards. ;)

[MissCamarilla]

Katie's way is great! I can't believe I tried to straighten one of my wigs. XD A small segment of it did frizz and feels really yucky now. Is this reversible at all, does anyone know?

[tails2828]

it might be

[tails2828]

can you send me that video because otherwise my show costume will be a wreck youll be a life saver and thanx

[arrcosplay]

I just use the lowest setting possible. You can also put the hair between two pieces of felt and go really, really slowly and lightly like that. ^-^

[ladygagarocks12345]

yeh but is it human hair

[arrcosplay]

No, it is not.

[ladygagarocks12345]

so is that wig human hair adn where did u get it

[arrcosplay]

The wig fiber is nylon. It's a High School Musical wig from Claire's, which is why it's so cheap and shiny.
