How to Straighten a Wig

Straightening a frizzy, nylon wig with a flat-iron set at 248 degrees Fahrenheit. This can also be done with a high-quality wig at the same temperature, but much more carefully.

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

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.

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

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. ^-^

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
