- In this video I will show you how to steam a synthetic (non-heat friendly) wig away from the face, relax flipped ends, flatten Permatease, and change the part. I am showing you these techniques using Cameron by Jon Renau in 6F27, Caramel Ribbon (even though Cameron does not have Permatease). I'm also wearing Zara Lite by Jon Renau in FS6/30/27, Toffee Truffle, in a ponytail.
** Link to my full review for Zara Lite - • Why I Prefer Wigs Over... .
** I purchased:
1. Cameron from wigs.com
2. Zara Lite from wigs.com
3. the "isteam" steamer from Amazon
4. the Rioa Hair Clips - 12 Pack Multicolor Plastic Duck Teeth Clips - from Amazon
My head measurements are:
Circumference 22”
Ear to ear 12.25”
Forehead to nape 14.5”
Hairline to bottom of chin 7.25”

I wear a bob and I needed this video for the exact reason you made it: to address the orientation of the fibers at the front of the face. I am glad I now have a solution to re-directing them away. Hoping I do as well as you! Thanks!
I'm so glad to hear that you found my video helpful!☺ I hope you love the results!💖
I would love to see more videos on trimming bangs, adding waves, straightening the hair, thinning, and trimming the sides or back of wigs, etc. I would have enjoyed your "flop" too (on adding beach waves that you mentioned in another video) I can learn from those too ;)
I tried shampooing a synthetic wig with a little fabric softener and didn't see much of a difference. I would like to see a video on how you wash your wigs and what products you use.
Thanks so much for the steaming a wig video! Another note.. I agree with a few other people who commented. I appreciated that you didn't fast forward this video. It was also helpful to hear why you would return a wig. THANKS AGAIN!!
Thanks so much for these helpful suggestions, Simone! I will add these ideas to my list for possible future videos. Just FYI, I plan to film a video where I will be trimming bangs on a wig and possibly thinning it in the near future. Hope you have a great weekend!😀❤
Thank you for sharing how to relax the flips on sides of a wig.
You're very welcome!☺ Thanks for watching!💖
HUGE Thank You! I have three wigs that I paid a lot of money for and never worn. I could never figure out why the didn’t look like what the model was wearing, this is a game changer
You are so welcome, Tammi!😀 I love hearing that my videos are helpful. Hope you love the results!💖
So informative. I wish I had seen this video before as it would have saved me a lot of time and energy fighting with fibers that wanted to fall forward.
Thanks so very much. I’m so glad I found you!🥰
I'm so glad you did too, welcome!!😀❤ I love hearing that my video is helpful and will try to add more tutorials to my video selection. Have a great weekend!
That’s a lot of help! And thank you for not speeding up the tutorial, as many do.
You are very welcome!😀❤I'm so glad you found it to be helpful!
I'm so happy! Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. I am new to wigs and not spending a lot on my wigs right now. I think I will be getting a steamer to help flatten the permatease and remove some flips in the front. This is a game changer, for sure.
Yay!! I'm so glad to hear that you found my video helpful!😀 I hope you love the results! If there is a lot of visible permatease right on top (not just a little bump), I would suggest disguising it by zig zagging the part instead of steaming it. Here is a link to a video where I show how I like to do that - ruclips.net/video/l-GjnVy4Qds/видео.html💖
Very helpful. Thanks!

🎉 I watch this when I’m steaming a new wig. My new Straight Up with a Twist really needed some steam 😉
Hi Becky, I'm so glad to hear that this video is helpful to you!😊💖
I just watched this video and it is awesome!!! I feel so much better knowing how I can get the fibers to stay out of my face and use the steam! Great job!!!
Thanks Lori! I'm so glad you found my video helpful!😀Thanks for watching!💖
I just received my very first topper, and the bangs are crazy. Your video has helped me to decide to keep it and try to fix it, because I like pretty much everything else about it. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome, Jaye!😀 I love hearing that my videos have been helpful. I hope you like the results!💖
Great tutorial! Thank you Michele! No more elephant tusks 😂 I have the same steamer 👍
Thanks so much Ted!😀❤ That steamer truly is a life-saver!!
You may have just saved a very expensive synthetic wig with a crazy top layer of shorter curls on a long, straight, shoulder-length bob. Someone did not assemble this correctly! I am going to try this steaming technique.
Oh good, I'm so glad to hear that you found my video helpful!😊 Good luck, I hope you love the results!💖
That was a great tutorial about steaming wigs to alter the shape. I'm sure other wig wearers know the disappointment of ordering the same style of wig you've loved & thee new one is not a flattering shape or silhouette. I'm hoping to bravely try what you have taught us. 😮😊
I'm so glad to hear that you found my video to be helpful!😊 Good luck - I hope you love the results!👍💖
Just what I needed to watch! I've struggled with, and done some damage to, several pieces trying to get rid of those tusks. Now I see what I was doing wrong and feel confident I can likely salvage some of them. Also the permatease correction was excellent. I never thought that could be so easy. Thank you for taking the time to instruct us. Your work is appreciated!
That's wonderful to hear, thanks so much!😀❤️
Oh, this is great! I have a Jamison that flips and falls in my face. I know now that I will return such wigs. In the meantime, I can use your methods for help. Thanks so much
You're very welcome! I'm so glad to hear that you found my video helpful!😊 Thanks for watching!💖
So great. I have a topper that has too much hair falling forward I haven’t figured how to deal with. Sooo I actually brought it to a wig place and the plucked !? Some hair out but I saw no real diff and she mentioned steaming on my other topper w/permanent tease but didn’t do it. Disappointed as I used them before and the owner although so encouraging for hair loss just terrible at customizing. She hacked a $700 Jon Renault REAL hair topper! so I thought since only place around try someone diff. Very young. Anyway, you gave me confidence to give it a try. Hope the steamer you used is listed!
Good luck! I used the "isteam Steamer for Clothes" from Amazon. The steamer is great for flattening a Permatease bump. If the Permatease is all over the top and visible on the surface, I would use the Zig Zag parting method shown in this video - ruclips.net/video/l-GjnVy4Qds/видео.html 😀❤
I can't wait to try steaming the top of my Sky. She is SO tall!! Great video. (I happen to like "tusks", though...lol)
Thanks so much, Judy!😀Good luck steaming your Sky - I hope you like the results. Just FYI, if there is a lot of Permatease visible on the surface, then I don't recommend steaming the top to flatten it. Also, I think flipped ends (a/k/a "tusks") can be a pretty look - it's just a question of personal preference. According to Harper's Bazaar this hair trend is back!👍💖
Excellent video, Michele! After watching your technique, I think maybe my attempts weren't as successful because I didn't apply enough steam and/or didn't let it cool enough. I have several wigs I'm going to work on again now thanks to your instruction.
Thanks Kim, I'm so glad you found my video helpful!😊 Good luck, I hope you love the results!💖
What kind of steamer are you using? Mine has died and I need to replace it. Thanks for all of your wonderful information. Xo
I like that wig?!!!!!
Thanks!😀❤
This is such an informative video. Very thorough and done with clear explanations and details. I'd like to ask which wig you are wearing in the top banner of your RUclips page?
Hi Cheryl, welcome!😀 I'm so glad that this video was helpful to you! I'm wearing Selena by Jon Renau in 10RH16 in the photo on my banner. Just in case you would like to see it, here is a link to my review of Selena - ruclips.net/video/oOsczIUvfPU/видео.html ❤
Could you please do a video on cutting the back of the hair. Thank you. Can you please tell me the color of your Cameron? Pretty.
Absolutely - I plan on doing a video soon about cutting the back of a short wig and a long wig. This Cameron is 6F27 Caramel Ribbon. Thanks!😀❤
Thanks again for this video on steaming. I just recently purchased a steamer and will be following your directions.
I have a question regarding trimming the synthetic hair. Does it dull your scissors? I have very good sharp hair scissors that I use for cutting human hair so I don’t particularly want to use them if that is the case. Should I purchase a pair of scissors for using only on synthetic hair?
You are so welcome! That is a good question about the scissors. I have read that the synthetic fibers may wear down the blades faster than natural hair. I use the same scissors for both my hair and my synthetic wigs and have not had a problem. However, if you spent a lot of $ on your good scissors, it might be a good idea to have a separate pair of scissors for the synthetic wigs. Hope that helps... good luck!😀❤
Do you ever use the plastic hot air brushes? Do you find steam is just easier? I’ve seen more and more reviews and guides using dry heat. What are ur thoughts on both?
That's such a great question! I do use a plastic hot air brush on synthetic fibers. I think both the steamer and the plastic hot air brush are great tools for styling wigs. I prefer using the steamer to change the part and style the fibers away from the face because the steam is very hot and can really change the style without stretching or damaging the fibers. I like to use the hot air brush for relaxing curls and flips. I'm much more careful with the hot air brush (either using it on low heat or on high heat while keeping the brush moving, not keeping it in any one place for too long) because you are simultaneously heating and pulling on the fibers. If you're interested, here is a link to a video where I use the hot air brush. ruclips.net/video/-noABApJwjc/видео.html Hope this helps!❤
I appreciate your videos. I would love to see you trimming a topper. I am a long time wig wearer but not very skilled styling and cutting However, I prefer the toppers because of the comfort. Please help if possible. Thanks
Hi! Thanks so much!😀I have a wig trimming video that I will link here - ruclips.net/video/Ir84Ci_2k90/видео.html I don't have a topper trimming video. Hope this helps!💖
Can you steam if there is dried hairspray on the wig or must the wig be clean first?
That is a great question! I'm not 100% certain of the answer but I think it would be a good idea to wash the wig to remove the hairspray first. If you steam your wig with hairspray on it that might cause the fibers to be pulled on more than usual which can damage them. Hope this helps!😀❤
This was so helpful! Thank you !!!! You look great! What is the color of that wig?
Thanks and you are so welcome!😀❤ The color is 6F27, Caramel Ribbon.
@@micheleswigreviews Beautiful!!
I’m gonna try this! I bought JR Aria and I’m having a hard time getting the part I want to stick and one side is flopping in my face a lot. How often do you need to do this?
Hi Annie, I normally only steam my wigs once, when I first get them. When you change the style on a synthetic wig with steam, the new style will stay in place even after washing. Of course, you can always steam your wig again, if necessary. Be sure to direct the steam at the fibers, not the delicate lace front or monofilament and keep the steamer moving. Good luck, I hope you love the results!👍💖
Learned lots from you, use steamer is a great ideal to work on the wig, I already order my from Amazon, thank you
Where can buy the wig with scalp like the one you had?
Hi Sharlene! You are so welcome - I'm happy to hear that my video was useful!😀 I purchased this wig (Cameron by Jon Renau in 6F27, Caramel Ribbon) from wigs.com.❤
Great tutorial! I’m ready to work on some of my wigs. Can this be done to heat friendly wigs, as well? I may have missed a comment regarding them. Thank you!
Thanks, I'm so glad you found it helpful!😊 Yes, I use this same method on my heat friendly synthetic wigs as well!👍💖
Good to know! Thanks for responding! 💕
@@margop7345 You're very welcome! Happy steaming!👍
Thank you! Great video. I’m a new wig wearer and the wig I purchased has a lot of flips at the bottom which I don’t care for. I will try the steam method but do you recommend a certain level of heat for the steamer? Mine has several heat levels so I am wondering which would be safest? The lowest, medium heat or highest?
You're very welcome!😊 My steamer only has one setting. I recommend working with the lowest setting and testing the underside of your wig to be sure that the heat level is safe for the fibers. Hope you love the results!👍💖
Thank you, I actually ordered the one on Amazon you linked in your video just to be safe!!! 😊
Hi Michele, do you think I could straighten my Soft & Subtle wig with steam? It's a bit curlier than I'd like. Thanks so much!
Definitely!👍 Just keep in mind that once you remove/relax the curls on a synthetic style, it's a bit tricky to recreate them. Hope you love the results!💖
@@micheleswigreviews Thanks so much! I might not actually do it - but it's good to know!
@@gigihadeed2491 You're very welcome!😊
What are you wearing during the video? It looks so very natural pulled back, not bulky at all. Sorry if already asked & answered in comments. I skimmed & didn't see it. Thanks!
I'm wearing Zara Lite by Jon Renau in FS6/30/27, Toffee Truffle. She's perfect for a ponytail because of the low density and ear-to-ear lace front. Here is a link to my review for her ruclips.net/video/2oOT7Oiv9xo/видео.html. Thanks for your question! I will add this info. to the description box.❤️
I thought it was your natural hair !and loved how you had parted it while making it look full in the Crown area* I’m new to your channel and so appreciate what you have reviewed And your tips….thanks
@@LPoppy2023 Welcome Lisa - I'm so glad you're here!😀 It's wonderful to hear that you find my reviews and tips to be helpful! Thanks for watching!❤
Great video ! What color are you wearing and did you shorten this Cameron wig ?
Thanks!😊 This is Cameron by Jon Renau in 6F27, Caramel Ribbon. I did trim one side a bit after I relaxed the flips.💖
Is there a certain temperature that you use on the steamer or is it only one temp?
My steamer is only one temperature (it simply has an on and off switch). If you are concerned about the steamer being safe for your synthetic wig, I know Jon Renau makes a steamer for wigs that many wig wearers like to use (I have not tried it). Here's a link to it on the Wigs By Patti's Pearls website - www.wigsbypattispearls.com/jon-renau-steamer.html. (I'm a guest reviewer for them.) I also suggest testing it in an inconspicuous area of the wig first. Hope this helps!💖
I see you and I choose the same kind of browns- a golden brown with golden blonde highlights (NOT ASH!). I'm struggling finding this color in the Esthetica line. Any ideas? I just ordered Caramel Kiss but so far i've returned about 3 others that list the description as what I want but when it arrives its NOTHING like the description. The color I'm after is similar to Jennifer Anniston"s hair color in Friends...GOLDEN BROWN
Have you tried Estetica's R6/28F Chestnut Brown with Red Frost? I think this is pretty similar to Jon Renau's 6F27. You could always get Estetica's color ring to see the colors before you commit to buying a wig. Hope this helps!❤
@@micheleswigreviews I prefer not to have anything with red in it. And Chestnut brown isn't the brown I'm looking for. It's too dark for me. i'll keep trying. Like I said I have one being mailed to me called Caramel Kiss. i'll see how it goes. Thanks for your input.
@@Grace-fp5ts Good luck!😀
Take a look at R8/26H!
Hello Michelle, i have a problem with my hair pieces(synthetic) , some stylists insist on putting a bend in the top and front and i have staight hair...so im always fighting that bend...my latsest guy ordered my piece straight and wahla!! perfect .....now im going to get a cut in on a new piece (different company} but it has a bend ...no cut in at all yet ...what do i tell them? cut first then steam or steam staight then cut ..opinion? ps this is a mans synthetic system...lately i feel like i cant win. my great guy who ordered my pieces couldnt get the right color or grays ....so i went to a place where the color matched but when i showed the woman how i like my hair on the longer size ...she cut it way too short, and did her whole idea we tried adding more hair and i just hate this system....i need your opinion on the straightning...im going back nect week and getting a woman who knew it was cut too short///PLEASE RESPOND ...THANKS JIM!!!!
Hi Jim! I'm sorry you're having so much trouble getting hair pieces that you like. To answer your question, I would definitely style/steam the piece the way you want to wear it first (in your case that would be straight) and then get it cut. That way it's easy for you and the hairdresser to see if the length is right. Hope this helps & good luck!❤
@@micheleswigreviews thank you Michele!!!
Bought my first wig (jon renau drew in caramel ribbon) and am having a wonky time getting it to look the way I’d like. But what is permatease??
Drew is a beautiful style!👍I'm sorry to hear that you are having a hard time getting her to look the way you want. The term "Permatease" is a combination of the words permanent and teasing. Basically, some fibers are crimped at the base of the wig. Permatease is generally used to add volume, lift, and body to a style. It can also be helpful for concealing wefts. If a wig has a full mono top and/or is fully hand-tied, you will have less Permatease in the style, if any. Hope this helps!💖
Do you have a link to the steamer you recommend? Thanks
I'm sorry, it looks like the particular steamer I'm using is no longer available on Amazon. Here's a link to a Jon Renau wig steamer - www.wigs.com/products/wig-steamer-accessories-jon-renau. If you use the code MICHELE25, you can save 25%. (I receive a commission.) Here's a link to the HairUWear wig steamer - www.amazon.com/Hair-u-wear-HAIRUWEAR - www.amazon.com/Hair-u-wear-HAIRUWEAR-Steamer/dp/B08BCRSX4N/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3AW45OH4V6C1W&keywords=wig+steamer&qid=1691686672&sprefix=wig+steamer%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-5. I don't have experience with these, but basically, almost any hand held clothes steamer should work. You can always test the steamer on the underside of your wig first.👍💖
@@micheleswigreviews thanks!
Is that the hairuwear steamer please?
I'm using the "isteam Steamer for Clothes" from Amazon.💖
Is it okay to use a cool steam from an air humidifier to style them?
Hi Cathy! I have never used steam from an air humidifier to style my wigs. However, I don't think it's the water that changes the style, I think it's the wet heat of the steam. You could always give it a try...💖
Thank you so much for your fast reply!
@@cathyspencer6432 You're very welcome!💖
If I have changed the style of my wig with steam, is it forever or does it fall back into its original shape after washing?
Hi Marion! If you change a synthetic or heat friendly synthetic style with steam, the style will stay that way. It will not change shape when washing with cool water. Hope this helps!💖
Thank you for your quick and friendly reply
Is it safe to steam a wig that has product in it? (Hairspray, conditioner, etc.) I'd think not, but I've never heard/read any mention of it. Just curious...
Good question! I haven't ever done that, so I can't say with certainty whether it would be safe or not. I would recommend washing your wig first if it has product in it. Conditioner should be fine, since many wig wearers use steam to refresh/defrizz their older synthetic and heat friendly synthetic styles.👍
My 1st wig is a Cameron, so I've watched this many times! But no matter what I do, nothing stays put. The hair on the right side of the part won't stay back and out of my face, and I've steamed that area (in layers) like 10 times already. You made it look so easy! Any tips/ideas? I'm a total newbie. p.s. My new steamer doesn't leave water droplets on the wig; maybe it's too wimpy?
I'm so sorry to hear that the steaming has not been working for you! You might try a different steamer. I suggest testing the new steamer on the underside of the wig first to make sure that it's safe for the fibers. FYI - Jon Renau and HairUWear each have steamers that are marketed specifically for steaming wigs (I have not tried either of these). You can buy them on Amazon. Also, two products (formulated for synthetic fibers) that I have used and can recommend are the TressTech Wig Wax spray and the BeautiMark Shaping Creme. You can buy these products on Amazon as well. Hope this helps!💖
Thanks for your reply! I tried my old clothes steamer and that had more kick to it than the new steamer I'd bought. Definitely more effective. I still need to keep working on it, but the front hair is much less floppy now!
@@neatdesign You're very welcome! Yay, I'm so glad to hear that your old clothes steamer is working for your wig!!👏
Can you please confirm that steam CAN be used on non heat resistant synthetic wigs?
Confirmed - steam can be used on traditional (non heat friendly) synthetic wigs. Be sure to use the method as shown in this video.👍💖
how do you keep the wig on the manaquin still?
If I recall correctly, I used pins for this video. Lately, I've been using a 22" block head and usually don't need to use pins.❤
I couldn't get my wig on the block head
@@angelxorae88 Oh, I see. Then pins would probably be good.👍 Just be careful to avoid placing the pins in the lace front or mono top. Pinning through the ear tabs and nape is best.
What Brand steamer should I buy? Where Amazon?
I use the "isteam Steamer for Clothes" from Amazon.
Should I wash my wig first before steaming ?
That is not necessary. I wash my wigs as little as possible to prolong the lifespan of the fibers. Good luck!😀❤
What if there is dried hairspray on the wig?
@@EmmieBeck68 That is a great question! I'm not 100% certain of the answer but I think it would be a good idea to wash the wig to remove the hairspray first. If you steam your wig with hairspray on it that might cause the fibers to be pulled on more than usual which can damage them. Hope this helps!😀❤
Do you find that steam isn’t as good for HD wigs?
I feel that steam does work on HD wigs but the new style does not hold as well or as long as it does with traditional synthetic fibers.
@@micheleswigreviews thank you!

How can I make my bob wigs lay flatter to my back of my neck instead of sticking out & looking bunched up?
Hi Judy! Without more information or seeing photos of the problem, it's hard to "diagnose" the issue and provide you with advice. I recommend either contacting customer service where you purchased your wigs or posting photos and asking your question in a reputable private Facebook group that offers support to wig and topper wearers. I like this one - facebook.com/groups/WigandTopperHelp. Good luck!💖

Does anyone know how to find stylists who work on wigs? I need mine cut ! I also need to pluck the hairline but I guess I'm going to have to do it myself which is scary!! I wish I could find a stylist who could do ALL that!! Any suggestions? I live by Aurora IL
Hi Jan! I would suggest calling local salons to find a hair stylist who will cut your wig. First, you could search Yelp or Google for “best wig stylist near me” and then call them and ask for a stylist who has experience with wigs (tell them whether it’s synthetic or human hair). Some will only cut it if you buy your wig from them. Good luck!💖
@@micheleswigreviews Thanks so much!! I found two, and one seems very promising although it's an hour drive! But it would be worth it if she's as good as described!! I appreciate your help.
@@janpoole910 You are very welcome!😀💖
When I watch wig tutorials the synthetic wigs that you all speak of are very helpful tips however the synthetic wigs are not full synthetic wigs. I would respectfully ask that you would please specify that big point.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean? The information I have is that Cameron by Jon Renau is a completely synthetic (not heat friendly) wig. What do you think she's made of?
Using steam on wigs that are not heat friendly is ok then? T hank you
Hi Donna! I'm so sorry for my delay in responding - I never received a notification of your comment! Yes, you can use steam on regular (not heat friendly) synthetic wigs. Thanks for watching!💖

@@micheleswigreviews one more question. I have a human hair topper. Can I steam it to retrain the part?
@@DianaTejo I have never steamed a human hair wig or topper. A human hair topper can be styled very differently. Be sure to spray a heat protectant on the hair (not the base) to protect the hair from heat damage. Then you can style it with a blow dryer (medium heat) and heat styling tools such as a curling iron or flat iron. I would not use more than 350° F.💖
Thanks for this video! I just got my Cameron and I find her very difficult to wear straight out of the box. I was just wondering how to male her wearable..?
You're very welcome!😊 In what way is she not wearable?
@@micheleswigreviews she's got a lot of box hair - they go every direction. I used a steamer but still she doesn't look nice. The other thing is her density - it's so low that the ponytail is as thin as my bio hair. The cap was quite small on me even though I'm average so I put her on my manequin head for 3 days and now her lace front doesn't stay on my forehead which looks really bad... The only thing I like about her is the colour - 12FS8. Otherwise, I am quite disappointed, especially considering the price. How does she wear for you? I wear my wigs every day for about 9 hours and I hope she will survive some time as I don't have money now to buy another one quickly... Take care and thank you! Xxx
@@coockiekat Some things you can do something about others you can't. Box hair on a synthetic wig can be corrected with steam or a plastic hot air brush (on dry fibers). The density is what it is unless you want to invest $$ to have someone add fibers. For the stretched out lace front, you can try tightening the adjusters. If that doesn't help, you can use some Walker Lace Front Wig Tape (blue) on the lace front (keeping away from any bio hair). Be sure to use Jon Renau's Lace Let Go adhesive remover to remove the tape. Here's a video from JR that can help - ruclips.net/video/IHHkuJEAJX4/видео.html. Cameron was my go to wig a few years ago. I was able to wear her daily for about 3-4 months. Hope this helps!💖
@@micheleswigreviews thank you!
What is "box hair"??
Your videos are absolutely great but I highly recommend better sound (a mic) as it is nowhere near loud enough for all listeners (and I don't have hearing issues). I have my volume on full and it's frustrating trying to listen so it makes me want to click off the video which is a shame.
I agree completely, thanks for letting me know! This video was only my 3rd RUclips video... I was aware of the sound issues and purchased a good mic shortly after this video was made. I think the sound is much better now. But, if you happen to watch a more recent video and still think that the sound is not loud enough, please let me know... I certainly don't want my videos to be frustrating in any way. Thanks for watching and commenting - I appreciate it!❤
@@micheleswigreviews thanks and glad you got a mic. For what it’s worth, the sound was better on my iPad versus my computer.
I can not hear a word you are saying.
I'm so sorry about that! This was only my 3rd RUclips video and I was still learning about how to create/edit videos. Shortly after this I got a better microphone...👍💖
@@micheleswigreviewsI can hear you just fine🙄
