Are all synthetic wigs heat stylable?
No, not all synthetic wigs can handle heat styling.
If you're looking for heat stylable synthetic wigs, go for synthetic wigs made from heat-stylable fibers like 100% Futura® heat-resistant synthetic fiber or blended wig fibers with a mix of synthetic fiber and real human hair that can handle the heat up to 350°F. Just don't forget to use heat-protectant spray.
That said, don't skip on non-heat-friendly synthetic fibers like easy-care Kanekalon® synthetic fiber and lightweight WhisperLite® fibers. These synthetic fibers have their own advantages, offering convenience and low upkeep.
So, whether you prefer the styling versatility of a heat-stylable synthetic wig or the low upkeep of a non-heat-friendly synthetic wig, there's something for everyone!
How to know whether your synthetic wig is heat friendly?
The easiest way to know if your synthetic wig is heat-friendly is to look for a label indicating heat-friendly properties, read the product description, or contact the manufacturer directly!
What is the maximum temperature that heat-resistant synthetic wigs can withstand?
The maximum temperature that heat styleable synthetic wigs can withstand is up to 300°F to 350°F (150°C to 175°C). Different wig brands have different heat-styling recommendations, so it is always best to read the manufacturer's label for heat-styling instructions.
However, it's important to remember that heat-styleable synthetic wigs have their limits, just like your natural hair. Exposing them to temperatures beyond their recommended threshold can result in singeing the synthetic fibers, leading to irreversible damage.
To ensure the long-lasting quality of your heat-resistant synthetic wig, use a heat protectant spray generously. Then, set your heat styling tools to a low heat setting and gradually increase if needed.
With this knowledge in your back pocket, you can enjoy the heat-styling versatility of synthetic wigs without causing heat damage.
Are heat-resistant synthetic wigs less prone to tangling and frizzing?
Yes, heat styleable synthetic wigs are generally designed to be less prone to tangling and frizzing.
These wigs are crafted with specially designed heat-resistant fibers that can withstand styling tools, resulting in a smoother texture. This feature significantly reduces the likelihood of tangling and frizzing, giving you a hassle-free and gorgeous look!
How long do heat stylable synthetic wigs last?
Heat styleable synthetic wigs typically last 3-6 months, but you can extend the longevity of your synthetic wig by investing in a wig care kit and giving it some TLC.
