You can use ANY hot tool, curler, iron, etc, on regular synthetic as long as the temp goes to around 220F or below. Hot brush can go around 230 or 240 but that may be too hot for tools with more direct contact. Anyway, you don't need a special tool just make sure the temp goes low. Opens up a lot of styling and maintenance potential. Also you are right that it rehabs the fibers. It is how you fix kinks in synthetic.
I am a newbie to wig wearing so I really appreciate all your videos - thank you! I live in the UK and I have been told that hopefully this tool will be available here sometime in 2023.
Thank you for this review! I would love to see a demo of straightening flippy ends. I don’t care for those flippies and if this tool works well for straightening those, I would buy one.
Thanks Denise :-) I really don't know why manufacturers don't offer these wig tools in dual voltage :-( Their markets would double! Since we are 220-240V here, I had to go hunting on AliExpress. Of course, there is no quality control and no promise of longevity, but needs must! Found one - called a beard comb! Lowest temp is 120C which is approx 248F. Have yet to put it through its paces, but on first pass it works OK.
This is a very helpful tool that's for sure. You know what I would love you to do a day in your life vlog or even a Christmas vlog I know that's not your usual content but I think so many of us would really enjoy it 🎄
I bought one just because it was on sale! Ha I wear mostly heat friendly synthetics and hoped it would be more effective and easier to use than a steamer. The fact that it was that easy to get some contour on the front would be almost worth the price just for that. Thanks again for a great product review.
I would love to know your experience (when you have it) on maintenance on HD wigs, and however you end up using this tool. The good and bad. I guess we’re always looking for tools to help the longevity of our wigs. Plus, any great styling tools that come your way.
This is a beautiful wig and looks lovely on you! However, it looked much prettier and healthier before straightening. The straightened version might feel silkier, but it appears straw-like, frizzy and damaged. Just my opinion of course, but if the ends needed refreshing, I would just smooth with some pomade, wax or styling cream. You would never know from looking at the wig at the beginning of the video that it had been used for so long; it appeared new, and the style was even nicer than one just out of the box.
I agree that you could see the frizz more after but it was definitely MUCH worse before. I don't know why on video you couldn't see that, maybe because of the curls... I do think it is tricky straightening a wig that came curled because the cut was likely built around the curl.
I so appreciate you and your channel. I'm learning about HD a lot. I'm so intimidated by HD fibers. I've worn wigs for years, never HD. I want to get the new RP Hi Fashion wig, that looks a lot like Mellow. How do you use heat on them, and keep them looking the way they are?
Hey Denise, I c u made this video 1yr ago. Have u tested it more & post an updated video? Have u used it on heat friendly wigs? And have u made curls in a synthetic wigs w/ it? On ROP website it says it comes w/ 21 different ceramic plates that'll straighten & curl fibers. We all know in the wig world the release of Envy 3-in-1 that does all this w/ regular synthetic & heat friendly wigs.
Thanks for the repertoire of wig toolbox info! After the heat, can one use Velcro rollers on wigs to lock in the lift & curves.....like one does to bio hair & to quiet the frizzies? Your face foundation is flawless.....what foundation do you use?
Do you know how sometimes wigs are flat to your head? I would like to see if this would put that little bump or curve in your wig bangs to pull them away from your head and curl them under.
@@heywigsister I’m prolly gonna get one anyway…but boy that would be awesome if you could use it to pull those bangs out and round them away from the forehead…..thank you for your help. Love your channel by the way….you have such a sweet pure dear heart.
I think it could work for HD wigs... it really depends on how much help they need, though, because the heat is quite low on it... and I did see someone curl with it in another video, but I have not been successful with that yet.
I grabbed one of these the other day and it just arrived. Sadly I did realize it was only for their brand of wigs - and I don’t own any! 🤦🏻♀️ If anybody wants to buy mine, brand new in the box, for a discount, let me know!
I as not aware that it is only for their brand of wigs... I don't see why it can't be used on other synthetic wigs.... let me reach out to them and ask.
Here wad their reply: Hi Denise, thanks for your question. It can be used on other wigs but it’s to your discretion. We have tested it out on our fibers but the heat of the tool should not damage most of the synthetic wigs on the market. Hope that helps! ❤️

I agree!!
You always do the best most helpful reviews. I literally think a question and you've done a video on it. Thank you!!!
I’ve been waiting for reviews on this tool!
my main interest is lifting bangs up so they will not lay flat
WoW Denise! This would be great for straight synthetics💕
Thank you for this review Denise..Looking gorgeous as always 😊 x

Thank you Denise! Great info!
WOW ..have to get one!
Oh my gosh that style was so cute before you flat ironed oh my goodness...
Looking good Denise. Ty for this review.
You are so welcome
That would be great to take out flippy ends and box hair. Or would that be overkill? I’d love to see how HD fibers respond. Thanks Denise!
Unfortunately, I can't get it at all. Chiquel Australia doesn't have it and won't order it in. I'd love one though. x

Can you use that straightener on synthetic wigs? What temperature would you use?
Thanks for the repertoire of wig toolbox info! After the heat, can one use Velcro rollers on wigs to lock in the lift & curves.....like one does to bio hair & to quiet the frizzies?
Your face foundation is flawless.....what foundation do you use?
Denise could you add curl with this styling tool?
You definitely can... I'm not skilled at doing that with a flat iron but I've seen others do it with this tool.
Btw I'm Clara not sure why my name's not coming up? x

hello Denise, , this is not good for HD wigs? and does it curl?
I think it could work for HD wigs... it really depends on how much help they need, though, because the heat is quite low on it... and I did see someone curl with it in another video, but I have not been successful with that yet.
Can you use a hot comb on a NON heat friendly wig?
No. A traditional hot comb gets too hot for regular synthetic.
@@heywigsister thank you:-)
