  • 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!

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!! 🌺🌸🌷

      do the same method, but wrap strands of hair around large straws (like bubble tea straws) if you want big curls, and then pin the hair to the straw on both ends, then pour the hot water over it!

      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. :)

I'm always terrified to cut it myself since I'm afraid it will be trimmed too short or it just wont look right. I dunno if you've already explained this or not but... What is a good method to trimming a wig? Thank you for your time! :)

  • @simsfan9270
    @simsfan9270 8 лет назад +2

    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.
